Thanks Henry.. Being that the Apexi is cat back i thought it would be more throatier and so forth.. I think it also comes with a x-pipe right? Unles the pic i saw was for another application? Thanks again

It doesn't have an x-pipe. The exhaust only replaces the OEM resonator. It does sound throatier (mustang-like?), but the Blitz and HKS definitely had a more rumble sound especially near idle.

just to clarify, also, isnt the blitz, cans only (meaning axle back)?
OPs pic looks to have a bit more than axle back...

HKS and Blitz are axle-backs. The pictures in the first post are not GS-specific. They're probably made for some other car.

I have the Blitz axlebacks on my GS400 and it has a nice deep growl to it. Almost like the g35 which is so sexyy. I think I want it to be a bit deeper though, so I might delete my resonators.

I’d vote Apexi WS2 that what I had on my 99 GS400. Before i sold it I switched that for 02 GS430. Not sure about blitz but for HKS hi-power I have it on my 300ZX TT. I never liked its look because it’s angle mount and wide opening look funky but the sound is nice though. Others said Blitz and HKS are axle-back. I'm assuming that since they’re not cat back so they won’t come with Y-pipe that connect to catalytic converter like Apexi does.
