Best Exhaust for 96 Eclipse?

I am getting a new '96 eclipse real soon and I was wondering if anyone could tell me which exhaust gives me most power for this application? Thanks

a nice apc dual exhaust, full exhaust system. and a new intake. forget about it.

I have the full Apexi front pipe, eliminates the cat, so if you have emissions police you are screwed. but very nice gain, and great sound.  also custom pipe to exhaust.  No reason to spend another $700 on a cat back...  come on people!

BBQ off the line, so back up!

if ur all wheel drive... then thats coo, but if ur fwd then u should have power in the back so this way it regulates... if u have all the power in the front its gonna work harder and not have the same effect.

WTF???  Does anyone else understand this?  You lost me guy....

I didn't follow.  not sure if im confused or Kayzee is confused.. 

But seriously, getting rid of the cat does give major gains.  I don't like to go by what a magazine says, i prefer to think i have a little bit more of a brain, but in an issue of import tuner(i think) they did an upgrade on a 1g and added an apexi downpipe and it net them a gain of like 30hp.  I don't think it's believeble( is that spelled right?), but it probably could happen on a very *un-tuned* car.  Who knows...

Non-turbo get a catback system with 2.5" piping and for Turbo models get a turboback system with 3" piping.  Thats a good place to start with.  It'll make ur car louder but you will increase performance quite a bit.

I dunno about getting a 3" for a turbo.  If you don't get supporting mods and crank up the boost, a 3" can hurt perfomance.  Although it does get rid of back pressure(which isn't good for turbocharging despite what domestic guys say), it can hurt flow.  A good dsm rule is that if you're not doing 350hp, then you don't need a 3" system.  Of course you can plan ahead....But getting a three inch on a stock 2g will probably give you boost creep.  And boost creep will kill your engine quickly.  Good luck.

yea true.  I wasn't taking everything into account.  My mistake.  Turbo's need to breath though.  Make sure u get alot of air in and alot of air out.

I would have to say go with a Apex N1.  I think that those are the best performance wise.

Apexi is good, I personally like the RSR exhaust.  One of the best(and probably the most expensive) is of course Tanabe.  They make awesome exhast systems. 

and when all else fails, go to an exhaust shop and have them custom make one.  mandrel if they have the bender...otherwise don't go bigger than 2.5 cause a reg. bender will leave ridges in the bends.  same flow, same piping, NOT the same cost... you don't always have to have the brand name on there...  waste of a couple $100.  but I agree with 1girlygirl...  Apex N1 all the way if you have money.

I had a custom ss with a dynomax on my talon, It was actually really nice.  Great sound and decent gains.  I'd say if money were no object, go for the Tanabe.  They run about $200 more than an apexi system.  The reason you'll see so many good comments(especially on dsmreviews) about the apexi n1's is because they're a good exhaust system for a good price.  Not many people can afford the tanabe, so there hasn't been many comments on them.  However that doesn't mean they're not good, they're one of the best companies out there.
