My beef with the stock exhaust is the valve closes above about 20mph and goes very quiet unless you're WOT, this still has the pass through open 100% of the time (well one of them anyhow) So stock exhaust at idle always sounds kinda raspy to me. Plus it's hard to tell what something sounds like using headphones or phone speakers or whatever you're using to watch youtube.
Now I got the exhaust on my car, I can maybe do a comparo video, I did some inside recordings before and after. It's definitely louder, a little bit at idle but certainly at crusing speeds.
It just needs a resonator delete to help with the loudness. Deep tone is there but needs more pitch. Otherwise I would buy since it’s the best looking on the market imo.
I appreciate these videos. A little bit of installation, a little bit of demonstration. The only other thing I would like to see but I know it's difficult are dyno results.
I just saw the new HKS legamax for GR Corolla... I would to hear how the sounds on the GR. With cold start, in cabin and drive pull. I may get the Apexi N1... But hopefully you guys can get a hand on the HKS brand too
@@Speedindustry I'm not too sure if the dual side exhaust will effect the performance of the GR Corolla, since it was design with 3 exhaust tips (center and two duals) not sure if HKS will create less pressure performance. But mainly wanting to hear how it sounds - cold start, interior and few drive by with sport mode on
I have historically always loved Apexi exhausts. Had one on my all motor Type R swapped EG civic back in the day. What an awesome sound that was. They are the definition of high quality! I am beyound disappointed with how this sounds. Absolutely abysmal. Basically like stock plus. Why even bother? In my older age, I dont want my exhaust to be obnoxious or drone, but definition needs to be noticeably louder and meaner!!
Yeah it's louder, I just got it installed on my car today, the main thing is the stock exhaust gets quiet over 17mph when the center exhaust tip valve closes, this one you can hear at all times, which is exsactly what I wanted. It sounds like a good sports exhaust without being obnoxious.
@@therealsnowthat's good to know, I just placed an order for one. Hoping for a little louder than stock since normal driving is really quiet in the GR
I feel you on that one. It sounds almost stock to me and that’s cool with me. I Love the look, I got a 2-J racing resonated mid pipe coming. Would love to heard this 2 pair together.
Fitment good as far as install goes but the exhaust tips are not sitting right. Too high on the right side. Sound is meh. I guess it's more livable and conservative which may be a better route. Often these 4 cylinder car exhausts are very boomy.
Have you even been in one of these cars? The stock exhaust is NOT quiet at idle, so saying this is the same volume at idle as the stock system isn't saying much. The main thing I dislike about the stock exhaust is the bypass valve closes above 20mph and it DOES get quiet then, at least with this one of them is open at all times.
Sounds almost exactly like the stock exhaust. A side by side comparison would be interesting

@@therealsnow Any sound clips? Currently the Apexi and HKS are on the top of my list.
I like it. Not obnoxious, has a little bit more sound than stock. Perfect for a daily
This one is growing on me, making my rounds of all the different ones :)
Sounds good!

We are testing one soon with out the Resonator - Stay Tuned ....
@@Speedindustry awesome. Will be looking out for that video👍

Yea Dyno time is costly and always time for planning and Scheduleing with the dyno down the street - gets very hard , wish we could
Which air filter did you say you are running with apexi exhaust? I really like the sound. Just needs a tune and it is all good now
Sounds deep like my HKS hi-power on my OG 86. Speaking of HKS are you guys gonna demo the Legamax soon? That's one I'd like to have on my GRC...
I wish if it was only 2 pipes dual outer. good sounding exhaust!
Sounds pretty good tbh.
In person , it is super deep , like you feel it in yoru chest deep -

We will have one Soon , We just added the HKS product to the site - Do you like the Dual Design ?

Tri tip. Too bad hks is only dual exhaust tips. Will keep it stock and upgrade further up towards the turbo
Im curious how the HKS dual will sound and look. I wonder when you guys will upload the vid of installment and sound from hks

Sounds almost the exact same as the stock unit!
The video doesn't really do it justice, I just installed it on my car today and it's louder at all rpms but certainly louder at cruise.
Does this sound louder on the inside and out compared to the oem exhaust?

I’ll to hear this set up with a down pipe
Send us the DP :)

Looks great wish it was louder...
I wonder what it would sound like without the resonator. I don't want drone in a daily driver so a no go for me but might be an option for some.
It would be nice to hear the sound in the car without all the filler talk.
Looks 👍.. but sounds like stock.. no bueno..😢
sounds like stock lmao gtta have some sound i think thats a waste to by that
it’s so quiet

Never put more tips than cylinders. That's just silly.
