AP Exhaust or Exoticspeed Exhaust

I've been debating for some time now whether to get the Agency power exhaust or the Exoticspeed S1-t exhaust. they are similarly priced and look almost the same. I like the deep loud sound that both make, but i don't know which one to buy, i was wondering if you guys could help me with this by stating pros and cons of each and cheap prices if any. the lowest price i have found is $675 if i remember correctly, for the AP from fluid. Any help is appreciated. thanks

I just installed the exoticspeed R1-T maybe 2 weeks ago and I love it. I bought it brand new from one of the distributors off ebay. I gave him an offer and he accepted. Check out my thread. I have pics and vids of it.

I have AP and I am very satisfied. For Exoticspeed I don't know but their products look great, especially the R1-T exhaust. If you put the midpipe on both exhaust systems it will be loud. Also watch out for your bumper, it may melt because of the huge tips.

I have the AP and it does sound rather nice. Had a bloke pull aside me in his Miata and inform me on how well my 8 sounds.

I've been leaning towards buying the AP for sometime, but I don't have the money yet so i'm still researchin on the best bang for buck dual exhaust system. the price that the AP is at includes the race pipe while the R1-t does not. Have most people that have bought it put on the race pipe? without the racepipe i think the AP goes for $550 to $600 on some sites

I have the AP without the midpipe and it cost me $500. It's fitment was for the *****, so it was alot of work but in the end, it's all worth it. I love how it sounds. I do like the sound R1-T makes, and it looks hot too. When it's all said and done, it comes down to preference

i think most ppl will put on the race pipe it comes with....but i think few people keep it on becuz of how loud it gets. I dunno but it all depends on what is loud to you...so that will be something you figure out once you put it on....fluid right now is also giving deals on the exoticspeed along with the midpipe for a package deal saving you like 50 bucks if u buy together. but his deals dont last forever

yea i kno i talked to him and altogether the r1-t comes to 800 with the midpipe includin his discount. and the agency power with midpipe included was 675. Is it even worth buying it with the racepipe. will it do anything to screw up your engine or anything

if you actually want a decent power gain yes the racepipe is worth it. ive never heard of one messin up the engine since its just a straight pipe.. cats can be more dangerous cuz they clog up on our cars.

if you want to pass emission testing, don't get a midpipe. you should be fine otherwise. i'm really growing to like exoticspeed

CT Finally got it!

I got the AP full exhaust a while ago and haven't had the time to post any pics on. so here they are. fitment was great and the shrouds did melt a little but nothin serious. I still need to find time to post up some vids, but will eventually get to it

The ST-1 produced after May 1 have addressed the fitment issues with the tips burning the shrouds, or that is what the guy from exoticspeed told me...
