ok not really sure which one is better it all depends on what kinds of mods you got. but personally i would choose neither.. those coffee can exhausts are bad sometimes. the tip of the exaust is basically the main purpose is like when the exhaust gets outta the system it pulls out the exhaust thats still in the system.. so if you have a huge tip there wont be any vacuum to pull out the exhaust. the more exhaust you have exiting the more vacuum.. the bigger the opening the less vacuum. those N1 are really good for highly tuned engines cuz it comes off at an angle which helps with the air rushing buy it creates more of a vacuum. a big exhaust is best for if you have lots of mods like turbos and nos and crap.. my advice... go with greddy evo. good all around... and plus greddy has a better sound they dont sound like a bee farting in a tube.

I have experience with the custom exhaust. Here's my advice:
Don't buy some 100 dollar muffler. It will deteriorate and sound like shit. Make sure the shop that does it does a good job. The shop that did mine didn't, and I still have exhaust leaks. Make sure there is some sort of resonator on it. If not, EVERYONE will know you are coming. Almost no exhaust shops mandarel bend their pipes, so you will most likely get worse flow.
If I could go back in time, and get a catback exhaust I would. I've put about the same amount of money into installing, trying to silence and fixing my piece of shit as I would buying a cat back system.

little over a year, i run real slow, and pretty much anything you do to make it breathe better will make your fifth gear stronger. exhaust will surely help.

The EVO is offset up higher, so it may be a little bigger, but actually has more ground clearance than almost any after market exhaust.
