Apexi WS2 rear section installed

I just got done getting my Apexi WS2 muffler installed and i am not sure what to think. It's loud but it just sounds freaking mean. I guess i think it is so loud because i have been driving around with a stock muffler. I had to use non mandrel bent 2.5" pipe since nobody in town had any. Is there really a significant difference in flow between a 2.5" mandrel bend and a non mandrel 2.5" bend?

Is anyone else running this muffler?

I will post some pics later this evening. It looks fawking sweet

Since you have Boost, you need mandrel bends so you dont lose power. Also do you have a resonator on the Bpipe?

Yea i have a resonator. I know the mandrel bends are better but just wanted to know how much better. I am going to install my 3" cuttout in the next couple of weeks so that ought to be free flowing enough

Apex WS

Did you have it done from the axle back, or all the way up to the cat? I was thinking about this because I seen somebody selling a Tanabe Hyper Medallion exhaust system. I was thinking about having my friend custom fit it for my Max.

Can't wait to see the pics! So did you get a cat back from a 4th Gen Max, or did you buy one of their new universal WS mufflers? I'm assuming you got the universal Turbo, since you're boosted.

what size is the inlet on that exhaust? I had just bought the Magnaflow Muffler 14805 and Magnaflow resonator 14416 for my Acura CL 2.3. I was going to do a 2.25" custom cat back but that car got totaled 2 days after I ordered them from online.... I was wondring if I would benefit at all putting them in my 2001 SE 5spd even though the inlet on them are only 2.25

whats the stock pipe size?
