Apexi N1 Universal Mufflers II

The N1 series muffler is always been an icon in the aftermarket exhaust since Apexi first introduce it back in the 90's.  Over the years, every aftermarket exhaust manufacture were using N1 style muffler as their standard exhaust design.  Also, there's a lot of copy version N1 style mufflers on the market nowadays and they usually cheap (I believe you all know why...).    As a result, we had many oversea customers were complaining to us about the competition and sales were down.  So we have to make our mufflers to be more competitive in price without comprising the quality.  We start to review our design on N1 mufflers early this year to see if we can bring our cost down.  Its a hard work because the current cost on materials are just not helping it.
Finally, we had re-design our N1 muffler bodies and we had made up 24 different samples for testing before we can decide which design is the best.  
We had send our samples to our distributor in Australia for testing to check which specification will be most suitable for their customers.  Both sound and power were checked.  

Finally, after few month's re-design and testing work, we had decided our new spec. for new N1 Universal Mufflers and we were able to bring the cost down by a margin.  New N1 Universal muffler II will be release on 1st Oct at USD $ 180.00.  Details will be release next week.  Stay tune....
