INSTALLED: APEXi GT Spec Exhaust

okay lets get the obvious out of the way...i know i have to take the Greddy license plate frame off...okay?



I posted awhile back i got these. In order to have this custom exhaust, i had to buy TWO (2) Honda S2000 exhaust systems because APEXi made the S2000 dual exhaust into a single exhaust....i needed a dual exhaust so i had to buy TWO single exhaust systems...make sense?

had the shop redo the piping near the Y....i'm way happier...exhaust hangs higher as well and if the pics don't show it...the new APEXi setup is straighter and more centered

I mainly got rid of the Greddy EVO because everyone has it now....i was maybe one of 2 or 3 that had custom Greddy EVOs on a 3rd gen TL....now i'm the ONLY one with APEXi GT-Specs....woot

GT Spec is much louder...very "GT" style...top end power is awesome....on the EVOs i got like 221whp, i'm gonna dyno my car hopefully in the next month or so and we'll see how it goes...

Old Greddy Pics....piping was ugly...but oh well...i got it cheap...


Video....2nd gear...dead stop...one hand...lol...

slightly louder... eh... tips same diameter right? but the gt mufflers are def bigger... looks good... spray the tubing with some black anti-corrosive spray paint... it will hide all the cut and weld areas

yeah the tip is the same 115mm (4.5 inches)....the canister is actually smaller than the greddy EVOs therefore it's louder

Piping looks MUCH cleaner than the Greddy, the way it's tucked up more neatly.

he had a custom greddy evo2 catback... he swapped out the mufflers, thus the tubing is still custom

looks clean, hope there aren't too many welds hear and there, they tend to obstruct flow

white is gone......i'm probably gonna get a black Fit...black or milano red...i dunno yet....gold 15" TE37s? hahah...jk... most likely i'm gonna keep the fit completely stock except for whatever comes with the Sport package...i'm buying an auto as well, it's gonna be a commuter car so i'm just going to add an aftermarket navi...then again, i said i wasn't gonna fix up my civic when i got it and first mod was 2 days later. Then when i got the TL i said i wouldn't mod it, that lasted for 3 months then i added rims, coilovers, intake, a-spec kit all in the same month

Saw your vids, the exhaust sounds sweet! The engine sounds really responsive, especially when you blip the throttle.

I think he said he also had a shop adjust the piping near the Y-bend.

^i had the shop redo the whole rear y-section cuz as you can see...the results before were nasty...that's why you don't just drop your car off, and leave it there...AND...i don't mean to be racist or bash, but thats' why you don't let mexicans work on your car.....then again, the 2nd shop i went to ...Speedway Muffler in Norco, CA, they were mexican and that guy did an excellent job....

... overall tho it was a damn good job as they are definitely properly filling the exhaust gap (I say this cuz I keep coming back to look at them hehehe)... get a dc sports license plate frame

That looks really impressive. One of the better looking setups I have seen. The tips are aligned very well, and extend out straight. I like it much better than the n1 or ws2's I have seen.

Do you happen to know:
overall length of muffler?
Length of just the body of the muffler?
Cross-section diameter of the muffler?
Was there any offset on the inlet side (I believe from pictures I saw in another thread, there was not)?
