I got the N1 about a month ago now, picked it up off Ebay for $200 shipped - and I must say that I completely love it.

Sound:
I really expected it to be much louder than it is, it's very, very quiet. In fact, I'd gamble that some people may be disappointed at how quiet it actually is. It's a very low rumble that has no rasp what so ever, no drone. Just deep low vrooooooom.
To give you a better idea. Think stock, the stock catback is quiet but you can hear it and it's got a pretty nice tone to it, or at least mine did. To me it sounds very close to the stock tone, just louder and deeper, and I think that's a good thing.
If you want people to look at you when you drive by, this may not be the catback for you.
It's got a resenator piece that looked to be 24", though it could have just been 18". Now, don't get me wrong, it's very noticeable, I know people hear it. It's just not obnoxious.

Power:
I wouldn't say I felt a large power gain as much as I found it helped smooth things out Through the whole power band. The engine seems to run a little better, with a little more pep, I'm sure more power will be realized with more mods.

It also looks pretty damn good too, I must say. :)





Highly recommended :)

Whoa, wasn't expecting that. Haha. My first post was deleted :D
That's pretty awesome, I'll try and maybe work on that some more and add what I can on things that I've used. I'm slowly working on putting together a turbo setup so I'm sure I'll be posting a question or two between my endless searches.

I'd also like to add for the sake of other people researching this that I got mine from japanimportshop on Ebay. He had an OBO and took $200 shipped.


Hah. Also, an added warning. If you've never had an after market exhaust be ready for a little extra vibration of parts in the car that can be... Somewhat annoying. There's a couple interior parts in the back of the car that vibrate a little in mine. I found the main one that was reallllly annoying, and it was the very back-center panel where the latch is for the hatch. The bottom of it is for some reason not attached very well and was really loose. So I wedged some cardboard (sometimes you've just got to ghetto rig it) between that and the floor and it's stopped. But there's something else I've yet to locate.
Good luck.

Sounds like it vibrates the same as if you put the motor mount inserts in.
