So I've had a 5Zigen Fireball exhaust for some time now (no cat) and lately I'm just getting tried of the loudness. Instead of putting a cat on I'm going to buy an OEM ITR muffler and have it welded on.

I want the stock look and hopefully it will quiet it down a lot. Anyone see any harm in this and will it sound decent?

Thanks.

 

I am wondering, what size piping are you currently using?

 

I want to say the piping on my exhaust is about 2 1/2 inches, I know the ITR one is smaller and will affect pressure but as long if it's quieter I won't mind the slight performance loss.

 

mi amigo tiene un exhausto like that. hahaha. he had skunk2 bpipe, itr axleback. it was decent. i would really recommened greddy sp or apexi ws

same here. once you go with a stock muffler, you'll miss some type of tone.....i know i do

 

Eh, I'd rather hear the motor over the exhaust anyway.

So did your friend's OEM axleback bolt right onto the b pipe??

 

I don't know why everyone says the fireball is loud. Its really not.

 

well it will prolly still be a little loud since you have no cat!!

Oh yeah. Just get a cat. That will solve your problems. I have a fireball on my gutted out eg coupe with a B16 in it. So doing 80 mph down the freeway, I am at 4500 rpm with the b16 tranny. It isn't loud at all.

 

Fireball IS loud w/o a cat.

And good point Bolo, I just hope it will bolt up and be a lil quieter...
