I realized something today....

The corksport catback system is a coffee can muffler. Ive been in denial, but it hit me. It is a coffee can. Does anyone else feel this way?

Yep, I used to have the Corksport CB. That damned thing was loud as hell, and sounded like crap IMO. It was so bad that I actally got banned from a buddy's neighborhood by the neighborhood association! :tup:

In any event, I now have a much better sounding Apex GT Spec. I like it lots, but I've thought about going full 3" RB if the money comes along.

Hey what's wrong with borla? Sound good, look decent, never given my any problems... RB is good, but my Borla's are up to par as far as i'm concerned..

Nothing is wrong with Borla. All I was stating is that it doesn't look like a coffee can fart muffler.

I really like the Borla catback for N/A's.

Ive got the CS and sounds good. A bit loud but an excellent choice if you're interested in the performance aspect of it.

Hey do you guys think the N1 sounds good? I have it and i think it sounds good. Im just wondering cuz you all seem to be partial to the RB systems.

Actually, my friend has the N-1 system, and it doesnt sound that bad. A little louder then I would care for, but honestly, its not a bad sound.

I think the old sp greddy system looks the absolute best. The RB catback is sweet, but it's really really quiet.


I've had my n1 single on since January and I like it a lot, but I'm starting to like to thought of going with the RB system.

Sometimes quiet is good

i am thinking about running RB exhaust but with a straight pipe instead of the presilencer. HOPEFULLY it'll be louder than RB but still sound good.

it might sound like ***, though.

I remember James telling me the N1's have a 4.5" tip.
