Default 5zigen fireball

Hi, does anyone have the 5zigen fireball on their integra? If so, what do you think of it? Sound? Looks? Also, do you have any problems with this exhaust? For those of you that don't have it on your car, what do you think about it? I'm having a hard time deciding what exhaust to get...i mean, i want the n1, but everyone practically has that. Anyways, please leave some input on this exhaust. Thanks.

I'm running the 5Zigen Fireball. It's nice. I like it alot. I wanted the N1 at first also cause it's alot louder than the Fireball. Fireball is nice and deep. Deepest at 3k RPM. Then when you get on it , it screams! Its nice, no problems. Definetly worth buying.

I love my 5zigen fireball. I was deciding on the n1 also and feel that I made a good decision going with the fireball

Hey again, does anyone have any sound samples or know where i can hear some? I have heard the n1 before, and it's okay, but like i said, everyone has that. I also like the slanted tip on the 5zigen...however, sound is important. I don't want it to drown out the sound of my intake. Anyways, sound samples anyone???

i don't want to rain on anyone's parade, that is not my intention, but..i have a '01 dc2 gsr and have heard that because we don't have torque, it's better that we run a muffler that is more, "oval." something like the greddy sp or hks sport, i have an es muffler with custom 2.5" piping and it sounds freaking awesome, not too loud or too quite at all..anyway, just to let you know..

'01 dc2 gsr blk
-trust drop-in replacement filter
-es muffler w/custom 2.5" piping
-tein ha
-dc lower tie bar and rear upper strut
-momo monte carlo 320mm steering wheel
-skunk2 shift ****

your saying since we dont have much torque we should run a oval muffler to gain torque or not to lose torque right? then wouldnt your 2.5in exhuast cause you too lose torque? i think maybe thats why he called you a newby.

He wasn't calling him a newbie for saying we should have a muffler on our Integras. He wasn't even talking to him

He was talking to the guy who asked the initial question about the 5Zigen. He asked how he can change his smiley face on his avatar to something else. Which is a question only a newbie would ask. Besides me.

Yo, i am a new newbie aksing newbie questions...no need to be a jerk, okay? I was simply asking a legit question, and was hoping for a nice answer. Thanks anyways. And to those of you that have responded with comments on the 5zigen, i greatly appreciate it...i don't like spending lots of money on something with bad reviews. Anyways, hopefully people are somewhat friendly on this forum, and can help a girl out.

alright..an muffler or exhaust will nevertheless create a better high-end, right? i just didn't want to lose a whole lot of torque..so, if you think about what i did, it kinda puts a balance into the whole situation..the muffler is small but the 2.5" piping is needed to create any kind of increase in high-end..it's just a balance cause at least it's not a big muffler and 2.5" piping, which would have a tremendous lose of torque..
