Default 5Zigen Fireball, bumblebeeish sound?

Local guy is selling a rear section 5Zigen fireball, and I was thinking about picking it up so I can finally ditch my stock muffler. Howver, I thought I remembered people saying they sounded horrible.

Any thoughts? The engine is a b16a with a 4-1 header, and I already have 2.25 inch cat/B-pipe FYI. Anyone have a similar setup, and if so how does it sound?

Thanks for your input.

shouldn't sound bad at all if you have a resonator

i have the full catback with resonators, etc etc. sounds great. i love it because it doesnt sound like ***. an axle back with custom piping and no resonation will sound like *** with most mufflers of the fireball style, but then again, it might not. depends on the combonation. try it. good quality exhaust either way
