does anyone have this exhaust. how does it perform. What is the difference between the axle back and cat back models. Also does anyone know where to get it cheap?
thanks bill

I don't have it but I can answer some questions.

AXLE back = Muffler plus piping to go over back "axle" and connect to the B pipe or the pipe that runs from the cat to the axle.

Cat back = Pipe from catalytic converter back I.E. axle back + a new B pipe.

Depending on the model of your car depends on the system you will have to use.
If you catalyitic converter is right next to your engine, you must get an axle back or purchase a EX header with cat and get a cat-back.

i have it on my civic, i only have the muffler with custom 2.25" pipping....really loud, sounds pretty nice with the slicencer...

EEK

thats cause you got the muffler...do you have the real 5zigen or knock off??.......all my boys that have it, love it cause its quiet.. its even quiet on my boys turbo gsr hatch.......

I have a real 5Zigen, and it's pretty darn quiet. sometimes i forget it's there until i get a nice deep tone at WOT

Has anyone noticed how the piping diameter through the resonators are really narrow? Looks pretty restrictive compared to other aftermarket exhausts out there. That's probably why it's alot quieter than the rest.

real 5zigen, also maybe cuz i had my resnator(sp?) taken out but since then i've put it back in and added a slicener..sounds super ~ i like it

A lot of my friends have that exhaust it's a pretty nice system a little bit louder than I would want (just becuase where I live the cops love to give modified exhaust tickets). If you could find a RS*R exhaust I recomend it . Its quiet , Is 50 state legal (with paperwork), and is well constructed. Only downside is its kind of hard to find since they no longer distribute to the U.S. (if you can find a shop that can get JDM parts they could probably get it for you). My friend is actuallt selling his cat back 5zigen fireball system for $400.00 shipped w/ ins. and its like new, only on car for like two monthes. If interested e-mail me at dream1toc@hotmail.com...............hope that helps.

You guys are talking about the 5Zigen Fireball muffler right?

They manufacture a whole bunch of exhausts, but the Fireball is the most common.

Is there a silencer available? Did you get it seperately or as a package?

I'm interested...

I have the fireball cat back on my 92 cx and you can't even tell I
have an exhaust untill I hit vtec.

with my itr intake it's really nice
but when I put my cai on it is loud but not unbearable

RoaringTurtle

i have a 5 zigen fireball exhaust
i love it because its really quiet with my turbo
i cant even tell its there
here in fremont you really have to be low profile
or else the cops will mess with you
so im glad i didnt get anything else

Every fireball I have heard is really raspy. To this day, I haven't heard a quiet one but I guess my definition of quiet is different.

Thanks guys for all the feedback. I'm leaning towards the axel back because the cat-back is just to expensive

i have the cat-back on my hatch. deep and throaty, not loud at all.

RS*R is exclusive!! Im searching places to get one. Jdm import places huh? I know the skunk2 mega power is manufactured by RS*R and you can take that to the bank. I got a civic ex coupe tho so good luck of finding one i suppose.
PEACE

I like the look of it on hatchbacks for sure... It sounds kinda buzzy though... To each his own..

jdmekcivic2eg

yeah... my fireball is loud!! i have the axle back with custom piping and a test pipe. non vtec motor-deep sound.. vtec motor- LOUD!

playabill19

How much hp will i gain with the axel back vs the cat-back?
hey jdmeg6turbo how much did it cost all together with all the custom piping?
