buddyclub iv vs apexi n1; help me decide!

so I just ended up losing an auction for a used hks silent hi power, and now i'm thinking about just buying a new exhaust.
I was originally swaying towards the buddyclub spec iv, but now i'm considering the apexi n1 too! loved the note of the hks but I prefer a bit more of an aggressive raspy tone.
so between these two, what do you guys think? i've watched a few videos of them with 4age and i'm finding it hard to decide. keep in mind the spec IV is mean't to be buddyclubs "silent" model! haha

exhaust is all personal preference, go out and find cars with both exhausts and hear them in person. will make deciding a lot easier.

if you're wanting rasp, not sure if the ones you listed will give you the sound you want.

this is an apexi n1 original before they revised the design and reduced it's volume.

Don't be fooled by the buddyclub spec iv being quiet,It's far from it!! They sound a tad raspy mid range but sounds good at full chat.

I put up a video of my fx gt with a spec iv on YouTube years ago. I can't find it but it should be on there somewhere.

If its very quiet, its because you've got the Apexi N1 Evo meaning its JASMA complied, the one n2o has is the old school Apexi N1 which is loud XD

just came across this amazing spec 2 review
http://youtu.be/MJAR5olAEQw

but seriously, jod i saw your fx gt and loved it! that vid was what actually made me want it so bad in the first place!! the only thing that's stopping me is the volume, I don't mind it being loud as long as it sounds good and i'm actually able to drive it without constantly getting owned by cops lol

my friend has a dc2r with a full spoon exhaust and it sets off alarms everywhere, he never has any trouble with cops so it should be okay anyway

any chance you have any vids of your car dreadangel? powergetter and hks headers right? must be amaze
