Default Opinions about exhaust types?

Hey I currently have a 2000 civic si and was considering on getting a cat back exhaust for my ride. I have been doing some research on a couple of them and was wanting some feed back. What does everyone think about the Apexi N1, the Greddy Evo 2, or the Apexi WS2. Just wanting some feed back. If you have any other suggestions I am listening.

EVO2: better
WS2: best tone

What do YOU want your exhaust to sound like?

the general consensus on this forum is a nice exhaust with an oval canister will sound best. near stock at idle and cruising but loud and clean when you step on it.

If you like the raspy loud sound then by all means get that type of system. You bets bet is to go on youtube and look for videos of your car with different exhausts. if you find one YOU like buy that one.

just stay away from ebay no name brands, generally there systems are of poor quality and try to get a system that is made from stainless steel.

^ Youtube is the best ay to see what you like. But it really is preferences, some people like their exhaust to be quiet, some like it ridiculously loud. N1 is really loud so if you want everyone around you to hear you whther you step on it or not then that's for you. The WS2 is quiet like a stock exhaust when normal driving, but does get louder when you step on it, it is the oval so it looks more stock too. I'm not a huge fan of it, I fall in between the scale, I like it to be noticedbut not to be overpowering, which is where the Evo2 falls. I'm ordering mine this week, its a deep sound that sounds awesome, for normal diving it isn't, bad nobody except for you and the cars next to you really will hear it. When you step on the pedal with the Evo2 it'll get loud but still hold its deep tone which is why I love it. But really just youtube it, I spent the last 2 weeks looking at cat backs on youtube and forums and stuff trying to decide, it's hard if you have no real life sources and spending so much money you want to make the right choice.

My opinion: Evo2>WS2>N1
Loudness: N1>Evo2>WS2

OR you know what else you could do, is pull out your B16 and sell it me, you can have my D16 then

I have an Apex'i World Sport 2, love it

Greddy SP2 is basically the same thing just a little more expensive.

Best sound, doesn't get raspy and obnoxious, low deep tone and even if it's one of the quietest I probably wouldn't want it any louder, I think it's perfect.
