i just bought an N1 for my s13 it's on it's way. a few guys have N1's on their's out here and they all love em. one guy uses the silencer and it's pretty effective. i woulda got the dual but got a good deal on mine-$325. plus its one 9' length.

There are silencers available for the N1 dual, but they're not included.
I bought mine from www.enjukuracing.com for about $525 delivered.
It would have cost me more than that to have a shop replicate the N1 Dual with decent mufflers and crush bent mild steel tubing. And even then I'm not guaranteed the fit or the gains of the Apexi version.
There are not too many shops around here that I would trust to do custom exhaust work, and the few that do tend to charge. Custom work does nt come cheap in New England... or most places in the Northeast for that matter.
As for a custom SS mandrel system, most places that do custom mandrel work use pre-bent tubes and weld them together. Welds penetrate and disrupt flow. Depending on the number and quality of the welds, you could end up with a 'mandrel bent system' that may not flow as well as an equally sized crush bent version. Not a rule, but it is possible.

also another note..
certain jdm exhausts are 80 mm..
with ur stock setup.. you will leak exhaust between the cat and the piping..
i have a 5 zigen rocket..
from jspec
400 shipped..
very simple..
not to bigg..
but very loud without the silencer..the silencer comes with it.

I would go with a Blitz NURSpec Exhaust, gotta love Blitz, second choice Apex'i, then the Fireball I heard is good, but its way toooooo loud, but then again agressive's is for a sr20 so once he gets that sr he'll be quieter

well that shouldn't matter that's why they have a gasket in between the connection to stop exhaust leaks. THe connection point in a cat back system is identical to the factory one due to it being a "bolt-on" product. This way a new gasket should stop any leaks, which shouldn't have been there in the first place.

i have the n1 w/ 80mm piping STRAIGHT back. This is one of the reasons i like the N1, it is one piece, hardly any bends, and no welds. I have a dummy cat off of an s14 and they fit together perfect, and if you are thinking turbo... a downpipe will solve all those problems. I say the N1 is the best catback system, blitz is good too but the nurspec is 2 peice contruction.
