Apexi Ecv?

[CAT_SPEW]

The current exhaust on my car is pretty loud and I'm considering ways to quieten it down so I can try and stay out of trouble..

Has anybody got aN APEXi ECV installed on there cars? Do they make much difference? Would they resrict flow even when they are fully "open"??

Also, where would be the cheapest place to buy one??

Cheers

they are a piece of shit and are nothing but trouble

ive had mine on for a little bit less than a year, it seems to still be working fine, it feels like it gets stuck sometimes but i dont really know. they are around $200 from autobarn for the drift brand ones. they do take some of the heart out of the exhaust note, i have a straight through exhaust so it is very useful for me. ive never been pulled over purely for my exhaust, i just wack it in 5th and put the valve on and its pretty quite.

I've got one. I would not ever get one again.

The difference it makes is very minimal.

If you're going to get defected, you're going to get defected. Cops are usually more like this has a cannon, it's a skyline, i'm going to defect it.

Whether it's outrageously loud, or semi outrageously loud, it's much of a muchness.

Also, when it's fully open, my car is down on power. When it's closed, even in first, you can literally watch the tacho climb slowly, whereas normally, it snaps to the top.

^^how loud is urs normally? i know it makes a fair bit of difference for me, but like i said i have a straight through.

its funny to see the difference responses on here and ns.com, i think the only conclusion i can draw is that majority of skyline drivers are pussies with 2 mufflers whereas alot of silvia drivers have very loud exhausts so they are probably more effective on louder cars etc.

lol thats probably bullshit, but i do notice that with the 2 cars
