From this thread I'm definately interested in changing my exhaust system to the apexi.

I'm curious about something.
Right now I have custom straight pipe from the downpipe to the tail. If I were to install a cat-back system, would I need to install a highflow cat to make up for the length. I'm guessing that the lengths of the pipe are designed for a system that has a cat in it. Right?


Also, what are some good headers to mate with this system? Only reason I would want to change the headers would be to change to ceramic coated. The ones I got on now turned some funky nasty ass colors. lol

Shipping is only $15, that's pretty cheap

mine came out undented/unscratched/mint condition *shrugs*, and it came packaged in the APEX-i box, so i'd assume that's the original packaging.

So can anyone comment on ground clearance for the WS2?

the midpipe does hang low under the rear door next to the rear wheel, that is at least on the 4doors. I got one for my sisters car b/c it turned out to be cheaper then a stock exhaust and even cheaper then a mineke exhaust.

sounds pretty quite.

one reason why i wont buy a greddy evo or apexi...if it is close to stock sound, why would i want it? (unless of course popo harass you guys)
but around here the popo doesnt give a rat's ass so id rather sport my fart cannon or a magnaflow.

Anyone know the stock pipe diameter on the 95 accord? I think I read somewhere that the WS2 was 2.3 (not sure about that though)

I've gotten 2 tickets for my exhaust before, but not around where I live though (I was in another county where cops are d**ks. I would think about changing it just because I'm starting to get tired of the sound of mine, and with the gas prices going the way they are, I want to regain that low end power. But now I'm wondering about that clearance issue.
What other exhaust system would match the WS2, maybe with just a tiny bit louder sound so it doesn't sound like a completly stock exhaust?

is it possible that you could show us some pictures of the car with WS2?
it's quite hard to imagine how it hangs by just reading the words.
