But when you break it down, whats the difference? A tube is a tube no matter who's name is on it.. And muffler inerts are usually the same.. Vibrant using stainless steel wool packing instead of cheap fiberglass.

SO, when you break it down, all your paying for is just a name. maybe the Apexi sounds a little different.. probably caused by more preforations in the tube inside the muffler.. still doenst make me want to blow more Benjamins on it. Just like AEM's Intakes.. 250 bucks for a painted metal tube with an AEM decal on it.. But with the right marketing and brainwashing, kids will line up with their dunkin donut paychecks and buy the thing.

the apexi ws2 piping is actually different. It's lined inside of the piping. The muffler is high grade like vibrant stuff as well. You have a point with the marketing, like i said, back in the day, the apexi full catback used to be cheap and worth the money, now it's more than double the original cost. That's just smart business practice lol.

If you want real answers, use real sentences. Nobody will answer you if they can't understand what you're asking!

IDK what lining you speak of.. maybe this was something back in the day.. I see mportedcivicsi likes your post.. but after lookig on the Apexi site, I still dont see anything special to warrant the money theyre asking for some BS piping and a basic generic muffler with a tip.

They use cheap steel for the piping and use powdercating to keep it from rusting.. But a Vibrant 304 stainless muffler is under 100 bucks. SO, again, For the cost vs performance, these are the reasons I dont jump on the namebrand bandwagon and be a cheerleader for something that has a name, but doesnt deliver. Now, If theres a company that has proven results, Im all for supporting the part.

i owned the damn exhaust several times over the years. the only thing that changed was the color of the coating to prevent rust. The piping is double lined. if you look into it, you can see the two separate pieces. YES the damn current price is outrageous and you can have an exhaust much cheaper, but it's still not the same as what apexi offers. So no need to be defensive over it, i agree its priced too high, and i've stated a couple times that it didn't have such a high price years ago, but it's still a quality product that's better than it appears. Can't really discredit them just because of economics lol, I'd sell it for more if people bought it for more money. That's just good business.

Agreed. @saquon, understand that a group of members all say that you write so poorly that its difficult to understand most of what you write. Its time that you listen and make a serious effort to be understood if you ever expect to receive help & be a productive member in this forum. You want free help so try showing respect and appreciation for it by writing clearly.

This nonsensical reply says enough about your general effort and lack thereof. Good luck in finding resolutions to your issues.
