Apexi WS2 compared to RSR Ex Mag Exhaust

[Losiracer2]

Since I was getting an Apexi WS2 exhaust, I decided to take a couple comparison pics of the two before I shipped my RSR off to the lucky new owner.








RSR is just slightly longer, maybe .75"

RSR is wider, but Apexi WS2 is taller

Resonators are about the same size



RSR is longer because of it being a 2 piece design vs. the 3 piece design of the Apexi WS2

And here's how each comes in the packaging:

Apexi WS2


The way it comes outta the box



Gaskets & hardware and sticker

Inside Muffler





Rest of exhaust is coated their fancy "titanium particle coating" eh its alright, I think it prevents rust/corrosion



Mid pipe

Front pipe





Resonator




RSR Ex Mag


^^Box, HUGE, like 6 ft long





^^well packaged

Even the tip has its own "sock" to protect it haha

^^Gaskets and stickers!

Midpipe

^^^Legit, the real deal

Muffler section

^^^Almost 20 inches long!!

^^^this tip is like a pure mirror finish, polished to perfection

well braced too

^^view inside the muffler, straight through

^^even the flanges are polished! talk about craftsmanship

^^precision welds, I think Tig?

I sold the RSR for a bit more than I bought it for...(enough to afford the Apexi WS2 + stuff) I'll put it that way

But things I noticed right off the bat, the Apexi is a lot quieter than the RSR, in all RPMs

quieter i imagine they would be louder. i have heard some pretty loud rsr and louder apexi. but i guess it differs from others engine set up's. nice buy!!!

should have kept the rs*r, loud and rs*r should not be in the same sentence..... u must be talking about the ebay knockoffs. srs

I'll be taking a video of it sometime this weekend

Since I've personally experienced them both, Yes, the RSR is louder and no it wasn't a knockoff, didn't you see all the pictures I posted?

I must ask what was your set up? Headers, intake, etc. I'm thinking about getting the RSR, I honestly like the loudness since I grew up with it. But how much did the RSR cost you, if you don't mind me asking.

You won't be able to find an RSR anywhere, it cost me 360 but they're a LOT more valueable than that, I got a smokin' deal on it though when the guy was doing a closeout; they were selling for 600+shipping back when they were still in production, but are now probably closer to 1000 if in really good shape like mine was. But even finding one is pretty much impossible now since RSR doesn't exist anymore

I had a Greddy 421 SS header w/ a collector mod to 2.5", high flow 2.5" cat, Skunk2 IM, AEM 3" CAI

Ah man I feel bad about denting mine by being so low.

I wanted an RSR back in the day, a member over in Indiana was suppose to sell me one but he never got back to me about taking it off his car. I ended up getting my new WS2 for 500 bucks from a company who is now gone. Either way i ended up with one of the two best exhausts for our car.
