I don't know if you looked, but the top sticky has a lot of exhaust clips.

the clips don't justify the sound.

Custom is going to SOUND better IMO, but going to cost you more and typically isn't as easy to get rid of later on and stuff like that.

I have a cattman b and a greddy muffler, soon to have a y but that's a little later. Sound is fantastic with the cattman-greddy combo. I've heard good things with the HKS as well tho.

HKS. There are thousands of different combinations you could put from the headers back to it though.

APEXI WS!!!!!!


But other then that I say go with the Greddy SP1
I used to own an Apexi WS, and it sounded very nice. A real low rumble, not loud at all. I then was came across a Greddy SP1 catback that I had intended to sell since I had the Apexi but I put it on to hear it before I did. Its tone was a bit louder but not insane and it also had a nice deep rumble. I drove around with it and it had no drone to it. The loudness wasnt great enough to justify me swapping back to the Apexi so I simpoly decided to keep it and sell the Apexi.
Ive been happy with it ever since. A friend of mine has my old Apexi and when I hear it I miss it sometimes, but Im still happy with the Greddy.
