hello all, I have a 00 r and i want to get a exhaust. I'm thinking about getting a 5 zigen. Need some suggetions on what exhaust may also be good. I already have a cai aem...what exhausts have a good compatability with this intake.
Thx

 

search!!!

anyhow, i'll say it now. you need a price range first of all. second, what are you looking to do to your car?

900+
SMSP

900-
Type One
Kakimoto

 

price range...anywhere from 400-500 bucks
And i just want this exhaust for now...

 

apexi n1 or 5zigen

 

what about hks hyper exhaust.. is this exhaust worse or better then the 5 zigen?

 

5ziegen is nice chiwawa...slightly bigger then stock (60mm accordong to IPS mike) and relatively quiet (according to the video that was here a few months ago). For the price, I guess it's a quality piece. I think I would rather have full stainless and 2.5in OD though (type1, sms), but you pay for what you get.

 

why don't u get the Type One exhaust .. i used to have a 5Zigen fireball but i don't really like that .. Except the 5Zigen 304 Border it sounds good but really loud . Now i am using Type one exhaust it sounds really good .. Type one .. u can get it from Ben at A&J Racing ..

I have the HKS hi-power (hiper) exhaust on my DC and the 5zigen fireball on my EK.

The Hiper sounds deeper and louder than the Fireball. At around 3-4k rpm, it really drones and sometimes annoying.

The Fireball is quieter, but then again it really has this super uber nasty bottleneck on the Cat converter side, and the diameter of the piping is stupidly small through the resonators. I hear more engine ruckus, than exhaust noise in the EK....that might partly be from the turbocharged d16 though

 

I say Apexi N1 thats what i have. it fits good, its fairly priced, it sounds godd and it has the JDM slant of the axle back

 

Ive got a 5zigen fireball and I think it sounds real good. When you first put it on it will be fairly quiet but after a while I assume it "breaks in" and the sound is more prominent. Its a nice deep sound, and definitely bearable on the streets. I only have the axle back as I didnt see much to gain from the whole exhaust just yet.

 

i like 5Zigen... its pretty quiet. if you want full stainless, get the new one... i think its called "miracle fireball" or something.

 

i have the 5zigen fireball. i like it very much, not loud. engine noise is louder in vtec. it gives a low deep tone. very nice

 

N-1 gets my vote.

 

Get a 2.5" exhaust: Type One, SMSP (custom) quiet Buddy Club Spec III (looks loud)..

 

N1. Or Spoon N1 if you don't appreciate the ability to hear.

 

How loud is the tanabe racing medallion? And how much hps does medallion, hiper, fireball and n1 make...or rank best to worst hp producers.
thx for advice smoke on

 

My top 3 setup(not titanium):

-SPOON N1+stock/Vision/Type1 B pipe
-Type1 catback
-Buddy Club R.specIII

I was using fireball bolt on muffler on my civic. Now I changed to SPOON N1. The Fireball starts rusting out and screaming like crazy. It's pretty annoying so I sold it to someone cheap.

 

custom magnaflow is the best for cheap but quality performance or a high quality stainless steel exhaust, a custom magnaflow will give you the performance you want.

 

apexi N1 or an axle back from type one or spoon N1..... all good IMO

 

Do any of these cat back systems such as apex N1 or 5 ziggen fireball go underneath the Lower controll arm and sway bar or Over it????

 

Anybody know the weights for any of these exhausts? Somebody must have this info compiled somewhere.

im gonna call 5zigen about the miracle one today. gonna put one on my next car

 

old pic of my 5zigen

 

5Zigen Fireball

 

I'd do this to save some $$ or go with the Buddy Club Spec II or III

N1 from Apex is pretty nice too.
