How Effective are Silencers on N1 dual?

hey guys~

I was wondering if somebody could tell me how effective silencers would be on a Apexi N1 dual tip exhaust? I just got ticketed by a cop while I was on my way to get my inspection. Then the cop made me pay to have my car towed to the inspection station because I had a rejected sticker. And then my car didn't pass because my exhaust was too loud... bad day bad day. Any ideas guys?

silencers have ALWAYS helped in my case.

They hurt performance like a stock muffler, but should help you pass.

piece.

hmm... well just in case anybody else wanted to know,

the silencers make a pretty big difference so long as you're not under full or heavy throttle. below 3K rpm under normal acceleration the exhaust sounds are much more muffled and not nearly as loud... car definitely feels slower though w/silencers on.

I have an N1 single. NO silencer, and it's not terrible at all.

Sounds nice. Kinda loud, but not horrible.

The real key its to get the REAL apex-i. The knockoffs sound like pure a s s!
