To around 700 HP????????
That's some serious HP.... how are you getting there?
Even on a turbo that would take a hell of a lot of boost. Rebuilt engine? Fuel system? Just curious.
The Apexi N1 was my choice for my Turbo. I've heard no complaints about them.

on my '91 R/T the Flowmaster sounds like a bad assed V8/exotic...
a LOT better than the N1s in my opinoin...if your supercharging, thatn I dont think the exhaust is going to make as much of a difference as turbo charging...

i recommend getting a 3" pipe back to a flowmaster just before the rear suspension. then go with 2.5" out of the muffler out the back end thru your choice of tips.
and you ain't gonna get 700 HP out of a blower unless you spend 10s of thousands.

700 HP in an N/A huh? sure...
I am looking at some N1 style mufflers! They are not the real N1's, but they look and are made the same! Plus these are like half the price! Does anyone have N1 style mufflers on their car and what do they sound like? I found some that are like $100 each! Can anyone help? Thanks!
well what i am doing is instead of using an intercooler like turbos which will pull power down from my supercharger, i will be using a water to alcohol thing i dont remember what is called and then i will be doing a engine rebuild on the top end with forged heads exc. now the water to alcohol works like nos and i will be runnig nos at the same time as well. the super charger i am planning on getting will give pretty nice boost dont remember how much at the time but i will get back to on this. Um oh yah an all wheel drive will launch a bit quicker than me but we hit like twenty and he/she will be admiring my rear spoiler and my exhaust.
AND LET ME QUOTE MYSELF "AROUND 700 HP"

Meant to post here...
I'm actually looking into doing something very similar on my setup. I'll be running the Paxton NOVI 2000. It's good to something like 30 psi! Figure the gains I got of about 14HP/psi, I'm thinking an additional 420 HP, plus Nos (100 shot) = 520 HP, +30HP for the intercooler = 550 HP, plus what I have stock of 161 HP= 711HP. Theres another problem though. Ecactly how reliable are you planning to have this thing be? That's the reason I don't want to go over 400HP. That should be plenty fast for me.
btw, alot of the above was ricer math. That's the only way I could come up with those numbers.

As for the mufflers, if you're looking for high performance, I wouldn't get either one of the ones you mentioned. Reason: they are not free flowing. The apexi n1s, if they are TRUE turbo design, the will have the inlet pipe flowing into the center of the muffler. Then the will have one or two outlets offset from the center, but not directly connected to the inlet pipe. This means that the air goes in, stacks up inside of the muffler casing only to build up and squeeze out of the outlet(s).
As for the flowmasters, they have baffles, which are like little walls for the air to run into. Both of these designs make backpressure.
There are two widely used types of free flowing mufflers (which you should definetely get if you want around 700hp). There is louvered core which has little raised up ridges in the muffler which attempt to swirl the air to expedite its exit, and there is the perforated core, which just has dozens of little holes in it to allow the exhaust note to react with whatever material is being used for sound control. Of these, the perforated core is definetly the better flowing. Both of these types of mufflers, if you look into the outlet, you can see straight through to the inlet, or vice versa.
Ok, enough exhaust 101, but just one last thing. The thicker and longer the exhaust casing is (not the piping diameter, but the casing itself) on a free flowing muffler, the more sound control it has. The case dimensions to not however affect flow rates.
But if your dead set on one of the two you mentioned, get the flowmaster, they sound much better IMHO.
