lol nah man N1 and Evo 2 are all round canisters. They look like typical fart cans. The WS2 hangs kinda low from many many people on another forum who own them. WS2 has way more bling.

define "bling". if bling means shiny polished metal, then yeah i guess from your point of view, the ws2 has more "bling" factor. however, the outlet is smaller, the muffler is shaped more like an oem, and in a definite aftermarket sense, the WS2 is much more subtle than the "fart cans" you speak of.

I think it's the same, just different. The outlet hole might be a little smaller but the canister is much larger, which coincidentally, is why it is so quiet. You can't have one without the other. While the shape is OEM-like, the material is not. OEM and compaines like Greddy produce stainless steel systems, which are not a shiny as the chrome WS2. Stainless tends to age well and with the car. You can convince yourself all day it looks subtle, but anyone behind you will think otherwise. But who cares? Get what you like. WS2 is also made of a more corrosion prone metal. Something to keep in mind if you get snow in your area.

:facepalm: The canister is smart one, not the piping, like with Greddy. And Greddy isn't as highly polished like the Apexi.

Mine when I first got it:

Maybe I wasn't clear before then. I meant everything. The piping is more likely to rust than the muffler. Just something to consider.
