Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance Apexi N1

I just had my new Apexi N1 exhaust installed on my 2001 Celica GT. I have to say I'm not all that impressed with the way it sounds. I definitely feel an increase of throttle response, but the bottom line is, my Injen CAI is louder than my exhaust. Maybe it will increase in dB. the more I drive the car. Has anybody out there had a similar experience?

A lot of people say that the N1 is the quietest of the exhausts out there. It just makes that deep grumbling noise and that's it

i would vote my Greddy Evo as the quietest! i was very dissapointed when i got it a couple years back...

i was originally going to get the Evo2, but opt out because of how quiet people claimed it to be. i went with apexi because i like the deep low tone it has a reputation for. even though it does produce that to a point, i was hoping for something a bit more prominent. i like sitting idle next to someone and hearing the exhaust enough the know it's there.

I ordered borla today. Everyone says its loud as the TRD's.

i should have just gotten TSRM...

post some pics of ur N1

The N1 doesn't sound like rice and it doesn't turn the celica into a lawnmower. If you want noise go get a SOHC civic POS.

You helped me decide on a borla or a N1
Thanks
But sorry to hear that you don't like it

Trust me, I don't want my car sounding like a lawnmower either. I just don't like the fact that I have to turn my stock stereo down, and carefully not give the car to much gas or the intake kicks in, to hear my exhaust. I also considered TSRM, but it doesnt have the N1 design that wanted. Who knows? I guess I just have strange expectations.

will a apexi n1 exhaust system fit a gt without any alterations?

so take the resinator out...

I also have the n1 exhaust and the injen CAI on my 2004 gts auto, i wasnt very happy with the exhaust at first either, but after driving a while it started to sound a lil bit deeper and louder, not quite enough for me though. After I had the resonator taken out it sounded great and ive been happy with it.

u should have got the apexi turbo muffler its lot louder then ur apexi N/A canister

if you put an N1 it needs to be at a slant, looks much better either way

what does the resinator look like? where is it located?

i would like to take it out.

It's in the midpipe and you have to have a shop take it out and weld some piping in place of it.

LOL, the GReddy Evo and HKS exhaust are the quietest muffler-tip style exhaust, then its Borla, Magnaflow, TRD, and TPR.

I love my exhaust (apexi n1). i love the way it sounds from inside the cabin. when i let my friend drive my car once, i heard my exhaust from a different point of view and God is it so sexy.

nothing ricey at all. gains are good and the sound is at a great level, though i have gotten 2 tickets for it.


[b] the apexi n1 exhaust can fit both the GT and GTS, although its labeled for only the GTS, it will fit. i heard that there really isnt any difference btwn the axle-back exhausts for the gt and gts.

I love the deep hollow sound from an Apexi N1 exhaust. i have a HKS Hi Power exhaust and it sucks balls. it's too quiet.

Take the Resonator out as well, you'll be impressed. Or a 2.5" downpipe from the cat

man im dying over here. i wish i knew how to download a video of my greddy exhaust. im gonna try to figure out tommorow. i think it sounds good when i get on the gas.

i have 2.5 downpipe from cat with an apexi n1 muffler and it is so loud. I always get compliments on my exhaust and questions about what i have under the hood.

get a borla. most vetts have them, they are a little more expensive but worth the deep sound.

Hey all hows it going i knew to all this and bought my first car which was a toyota celica sport and im loving it. But wasnt loud enough. So for christmas i was looking for a new exhaust and the apexi n1 was perfect but reading on here that its not loud enough. Just wondering if anyone has a vid of when they got it then what it sounded like after they changed the down pipe. And where do i buy one cant find anything near here. From South of england. Thanks
