MagnaFlow and A'PEXi will both give you a better sound, but MagnaFlow is cheaper. SO i guess it's how much you want to spend. I would prefer MagnaFlow because it is made for American muscle cars.

the 5SFE sounds fine with either the Apexi N1, or any of the Magnaflows IMO

i wouldnt try any of the other Apexi models

Word of advice make sure you have some type of resonator on when you put it on cause without it, it will sound raspy like crazy like mine and I have the 2.5" custom catback with the apexi n1 exhaust. I'll put up a crappy vid so you can see what I'm talking about.

Made the thread for the sound on my car but it's a bad quality with no resonator so don't disregard the Apexi N1 because of it it sounds killer in person and yes I bought the universal NA version and had a shop make me a system out of 2.5" connecting to 2.25" at the back then connected to the muffler. No cat either so I guess people call it a straight pipe or something. Talking about this I just saw the turbo version of the Apexi N1 muffler and that sucker is huge thank god I didn't get that version it's just calling the cops to pull me over just by the look. Don't get the turbo version it's too big and the NA to me is the right size.
