was looking for a exhaust for my 9 while it was of the road having a b18c fitted . i came across something called yahoo auctions which you can bid on like a japanese version of ebay. i just typed in ek9 and this 5zigen exhaust came up which was pretty cheap and bought it. when it arrived there was a jasma plack whelded on the rear can that had RACE USE ONLY wrote on it. its called a border 304 speed

YouTube - EK9?5ZIGEN BORDER 304 SPEED

this is a link to a video the seller sent me by email of what it sounded like!
im guessing its only a sound clip as you could get in trouble for a video of those speeds?
i love the noise and mines even louder than this what do you guys think
his car was stock with only the exhaust. my car has a b18, aem cai,manifold and de-cat.

 

i love the noise of my car what do you guys think?
real jdm all the way

 

anything loud FTL...

hate it

 

i like it. lol i think it sounds sweet

 

no.

 

basically this car is screaming PULL ME OVERRRRR!!!

this is dumb.. should be locked IMO

 

everyone is entitled to their own opinion and you have already stated yours so no need to repeat yourself.
in japan most people go for this sort of setup

 

negative bro. vast majority of true jdm enthusists go with something toned down like an apexi ws2, rsr ex mag or the greddy sp2. trust me.

btw... how do you know what "JDM" cars go after? you been to japan recently?

 

way to loud, i like a slight growl nothing ricy or loud

 

Do you have a link to the auction site? How much and how long did shipping take?

Thanks,

 

I love how you call your EK9 a "9". Actually? What is it some sort of gun? and BTW I don't like the tone at all. And probably the worst shifting I have ever heard. What is that agonizing sound inbetween shifts? I thought maybe it was a little tire chirp but it's every gear. Lastly, how would you know what most people "go" for in Japan? Do you represent the entire tuner nation of Japan? Didn't think so....

 

sound nice when you take off

 

Personally, I would hate to have this on my DD. However if I had a weekend warrior I would enjoy that exhaust greatly. I think that although loud, that is a proper racing exhaust, but not for the street

 

It doesn't sound bad but it is far from the "best sounding honda" I have ever heard...

 

Can't say I like it. I like a nice quiet stock exhaust. There are better things to listen to than exhaust noise imo.

I also get migraines and exhaust like this kills me sometimes.

Oh, and this is a tech section btw. This would probably belong better in Appearance / Cosmetic or GDD (where you will probably be eaten alive).

 

border.. its the one that looks similar to spoon n1 right? but little fatter and shorter at the tip.

My friend has this on his EK and sounds much quiter than that. But nonetheless very bold and deep sound. I loved it.

 

thats ok man all these people giving you crap about whats hot in japan and yet none of them even know either. I call it the " JDM BANDWAGON". Do what you like cause in the end thats all that matters and if you think that it sounds that bada$$ then thats all you need. I personally think it sounds pretty cool so you get my approval... not that you need it but there it is.

 

im not saying i represent japan or anything dont want to start a war.
here in the uk there is **** loads of jdm cars as we drive on the same side of the road. before the world got messed up with all the banks etc the £ was really strong and could buy jdm cars well cheap your equivelent to like $4000 for a jdm dc2 mint condition. so people impoted loads of cars like ek9's and dc2's skylines the lot for really cheap.
all the cars are usually modified and despite the money thats been spent on them in parts the car is cheaper . my ek9 came with zeal function coilovers a b16b thats been stroked to a 1800 mugen airbox mugen manifold mugen exhaust volk ce28 wheels a spoon lsd etc:
im just saying all the majority of hondas you see imported in my country usually have a stupid loud exhaust :D

 

X2

I'd get annoyed if i was driving around with an exhaust that loud everyday. But would love to drive with it on the weekend. I like it, it's a got a nice sound.
If you don't mind driving with a loud exhaust everyday then I say go for it. Like I said, it sounds nice

here ya go

 

im one of the people who actually own a ek9 far to many people who have ek's call them ek9's. so on our forum we call it a 9.

 

i like the sound of my 2.75" turbo back....turbo's are like mufflers themselves...my car has a deep aggressive tone and i love it and so does everyone who hears it

 

sounds good to me
