Just my opinion, I would stay away from most things to do with APC. They are big into the import ricer market, mainly because they are cheap. (In price and quality). They make a lot of fart can systems for Sentras and Civics...If you want a nice dual exhaust setup, that isn't too loud and has no drone, man up and get the Mopar/Borla duals. Check Ebay as you can normally find them there fairly cheap, or call Tommy at Haynes Speed Shop. They are super simple to install, and everything fits right the first time....

Don't waste your time or money with APC. They make mostly crap, you have to be very careful with what you buy from them. If you want something that will be made to your specs, go to a muffler shop and have it done custom. I paid $130 for a Flowmaster 40 series with an SS tip and I absolutely love it. Single outlet, but I have no doubt that for $50 or so more you can get it done with duals.

[8)]I have the Mopar/Borla duals(almost 3 years now) I thought they were way too loud at first- I had a muffler shop add a stainless resonator where the straight pipe is under the car,,,, now its fine,,, sounds like amild rumble at idle & no drone! The factory should have this set up stock,,, but thats my suggestion... any questions leave a mesage.[)]

My 2-cents/ I concur with what the other members said about APC. I recently pulled the trigger on a set of duals, and decided on the Flowmaster dual exhaust setup. It was about $380 delivered. Comes with both a resonator in the midpipe area(too big/don't like) and an muffler (hangs in the OEM exhaust bay and leaves the spare tire where it is), then connects from the muffler to a dual pipe setup that directs exhaust to both sides evenly. Some may say that it's counterproductive having both, but for me, it's not too loud and no drone. Additionally, the dual end pipes/tips are configured so that if at a later date, you decide to go for a different exhaust tip, it's an easy mod. They come with clamps, but I would recommend a weld job so that there will be no exhaust leak and you will better maintain that aftermarket growl you paid for.

Have had Bassani on both PT's (moved it from 02 to 06). Nice sound, not loud. Got mine from raceand street.com

IMHO the Borla/MOPAR duals are just perfect and don't make too much noise at all and no drones. In fact the car I drove I didnt know they were there till the owner showed me!

Please lay off the caps. Using caps is like shouting and a PITA to read.
