Apexi is more expensive because the cat back system has a muffler before the can that sticks out the back. It is quiter than the CS since the CS lacks any "pre" muffler. Also with the Apexi you are paying for the name and R&D. If your on a budget go with the CS, if not buy the Apexi. Personaly I have the CS and reqally like it, its a quality piece but im biased since I havent qwned the Apexi

I have the N1 single, and love the sound. I heard another t2 with the corksport, and honestly, i thought it sounded bad. the n1 is smooth, and deep. cork sport is louder, and has that annoying buzzzzzz.

Oh, and in the sound clip it sounds like people clapping, but it isn't.

That's my crappy mic trying to process afterburn.

based on that sound clip, I like the sound of the Apex better. It has a deeper, throatier sound, and it has more of that great rotary sound up top. Of couse some of that might have to do with the rest of the exhaust.

The Corksport catback sounds decent at high rpms, but is way to freaking loud.. I might sell mine and buy a Racing beat exhaust. Everywhere I go, everyone looks at my car even at idle, its that loud..

i ordered a corksport but they sent me the wrong size pipe and now itll take over a week for them to ship me the right part, so if you order it dont take off your old cat back until you measure the pipes

well they sell 2 kits one for with a cat and one without. unless you have a 80mm cat outlet i dont see why theyd give you the wrong one.

and im partial to the cs too.. i like the all stainless construction that apexi lacks (they salt the roads here)

Apexi systems have a quality high temp paint coating on the pipes. Unlike most painted pipes, the coating actually lasts. I've got 2 years on mine and they still look brand new. The Corksport exhaust is way too loud and the optinal silencer (like all silencers) look really bad.
