that link to the youtube doesnt look like the apexi n1 ....or close to it... the apexi n1 is roundish all around..

and i would suggest not to cheap out on the muffler...save up your money and get a good quality one or spend the money on something eles..

this is the Apexi N1

i wouldnt buy a $20 muffler. it will prolly rust and fall apart real quick. save up a little more for a good one.

pm eyeball96, he may have a real nice magnaflow for sale.

Go with the OE look of 2 tips, and magnaflow has a lot of choice and they're not outragously priced either.

x2

not worth it to buy ebay mufflers .... you will just be unhappy and end up wanting to replace it later down the line

save up $175ish and get a Magnaflow from www.planetmagnaflow.com .... or if youre hell-bent on Apexi, get one from their online dealers like www.racinglab.com

or at least buy the real thing from someone selling one on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-A...spagenameZWD1V

not an imitation thats mass-produced

NO FART CAN, PLEASE, GOD IN HEAVEN, DO NOT GET A FART CAN!!! It's just going to make your car sound like an angry lawn mower with diarrhea when your only doing 30mph. Magnaflow all the way. I have one on my 96 5sfe. Sounds really good, deep enough to set off/chirp car alarms, but not fart can raspy or loud.

dont even waste the money now .... spend it on some clear corners or clear bumper lenses [about the same price] .... those will look better and will last longer

What about the sound of Magnaflow mufflers? Are they louder than original Toyota muffler?

ok, no flowmaster, ive done that and it didnt sound very good. that muffler ur lookin at proly wont sound bad if ur just getting a muffler installed(leave the resonator ON) and looks pretty nice on the website.

again, expect bad things from a $20 muffler. use the money ur gonna spend on clear corners and money you save by just having meinike weld in a muffler on a GOOD muffler. my experiace with them is that they have none(experiance). a mount job should only cost ya from 60-90 bucks.
