review: Apex'i WS2 Catback

MUGENPOWER · 03-02-2007, 06:01 PM

Part or Product:
-Apex'i WS2 Catback Exhaust with OEM Cat/Conv.

Pretty much what it sounds like on my car OR will sound like:

Vehicle Used:
-2000 Civic SiR

Rating:
- 4.5/ 5

Overall Thoughts:
-This ehaust has achived what I wanted out of a catback for this N/A car, and that was quiet exhaust and low tone. Inner diameter is a touch bigger then stock at 2.39" versus 2.25" and the 3.9" exhaust tip fits well on this cars rear bumber/valance cut-out. I have had Magnaflow, DC Sports, 5Zigen FireBall, and Greddy SP in the past few years and I love this one for its drivability. Still makes good midrange power and sings well at high rpm's without annoying you or your passenger. Sound should become greater but not by much with the addition of AEM CAI and Megan 4-1 Header. Comes with all needed gaskets and hardware. Piping is a NICE durable finish. If you want something totally functional for your B series I would recommend this exhaust to anyone. I left out the ".5" because it's not for everyone. I have heard other CUSTOM Magnaflow exhausts that sound just as good, for a bit less coin.

Additional Comments:
-Best bang for the buck (IMO) at $575 plus taxes at Teknotik. Don't buy this if you plan on making good power with a turbo charged or JRSC application. Excellent tone and exhaust note even past 7000rpm. NO TIN CAN OF PISSED OFF BEE'S HERE!

I love mine. nice and quiet, no hassle with the cops. my intake is louder then my exhaust in vtec. i would buy the same set up if i had too.

sirguy01 · 06-12-2007, 12:33 PM

What is the max hp rating on these exhausts? When you say don't get it if you plan on getting a turbocharged application, would that include a 7psi/230hp setup?

will never get rid of mine, love hearing my motor and not a loud exhaust

good write up. I have the same exhaust from Teknotik as well. great deal and sounds amazing. Fit was perfect.
the tone on my b16 with header, cams, whale dick, built head etc is perfect... decent at low RPM's and you can hear the none fart can sound once you hit it!
