Post by Extubby »

I am buying an Apexi N1 from off here and want to know how it will compare to my Departure exhaust?

the apexi n1 is one of the best systems i've heard, it's 3inch too so will reduce backpressure quite a bit, really good systeml, dunno anything about the departure though, you selling it???

Good good. Looking forward to something different
I am going to be selling it yeah. Will get pics once it off. Flexi has a slight blow but this will be repaired before selling.

I know somebody who had the N1 and it was quite loud, though not in an annoying Nur Spec kind of way. I had a Dep regular for nearly 4 years and it was never intrusive and that was with the cat removed, I did over 60 k miles in 4 years motorway etc and never found it to drone or be intrusive in any way, though the Dep pro was a fair bit louder lol!

I have the Apexi GT which is pretty much the same as the N1 just stainless iirc.

compared to the Departure 2 (i also have :lol: ) its very loud.

not much better at 70 tbh. if you can live with a bit more noise its awesome.

The Departure is quite reserved in comparison.

Does the bung make any difference?
I will get it on and see what I think. Sure it will get snapped up if I decide to sell.
