I have a WS on my 98 Prelude and I was running it with mostly bolt on mods for a couple months. Now the car is in the shop getting turbo installed so I think I need a new exhaust system. ANy comments? I'm thinking about getting the N1. No need for a quiet exhaust when you are running boost. And the N1 projects sideways so that is a plus for looks on a turbo car. What else have you done to your prelude? do you have a sound clip? does it sound like a ricer can or a bunch of bees coming out of it?

I have a friend that has one on his GSX, and it sounds great. I figure that might help you since it will probably sound similar to yours if you get one on after you turbo your car. It actually sounds like a WRX with and exhaust on it. I don't see him that much anymore but if I happen to see him I will see if I can get a clip or something.

I have a question about the silencer for the N1. Does it lose performance once it is on since the diameter of it is real small and my car is running forced induction. Also, how loud is it with and without the silencer?

It does lose some performance a few hp at all levels. Dont know about second question but everyone has said its loud as hell

im running custom 3" from the dp back, with an N1 on the end, its pretty loud, but it sounds good, really agressive

It wont be that loud if you have a turbo, a turbo muffles the sound of any exhaust. It will sound good though Im sure.

i just got mine a few weeks ago and i loved it, i had mine custom mounted at my local muffler shop i had them run new 2 1/2" from the cat all the way back.....man i love the way it sounds purrrrrrr

i bought the silencer and the exhaust together then found out that it came with the silencer already so be careful bout that it depends on who you buy from.

I just got a n1 for my 00' prelude a couple weeks ago. It sounded alright with the silencer but it sounds sick without it. Its only loud at high rpms but it sounds deep not like a p.o.s. I would recomend an n1 to anybody

For the silencer, is it removable?

SpecialED95 · 06-05-2005, 07:55 PM

Of course the silencer is removable, it's only like one bolt that holds it on.

SpecialED95 · 06-06-2005, 11:17 AM

By the way, a lot of my friends have been telling me not to get one because the canister is way too big. For those of you who have an N1, is it really that big of a muffler?

SpecialED95 · 07-21-2005, 11:54 PM

Just got my N1 exhaust in the mail today! It's on, and let me tell you first hand...it sounds amazing. I give it 2 thumbs up.
