hey guys what do you think about the 5zigen fire ball catback? Do you think it is just as good as the n1 . I'm not to concern with the looks. i just want something that will perform good.

 

Performancewise, its the same style as the every other n1 exhaust out there, or better than some generic brands. Had one before and loved it. A lil loud if you throw on some piping and remove the resinator.

 

They break @ the hangers all the time.

i have had mine for about three years now. its not too loud until you really get on it, and then it screams pretty good. no complaints at all!

 

does it hang as low as the apex-i n1 or is there no problem with scraping ? does and one got a pic of it on an ek hatch ?

I agree.

I personally know 3 guys who have had their Fireball mufflers break off of the hangers. Hell the canisters themselves tore where the hangers were welded on.

IMO they are cheap.

 

And there are 3 others *** well Tom.

Maybe 5Zigen had quality issues with their North American distributors before they decided to set up shop here officially.....I dunno.

All I know is after 6 of the 8 fireballs I sold had those issues I know i won't be ****** with them.

 

bump pics any one?

 

I liked my 5zigen, but like they've said it has came apart at the left hanger, so I feel the quality might not have been up to par in the North American distribution. But surely, no complaints with the sound from me at all.

 

had one It's just too loud.

they look more like 99 gsr wheels.

 

I had it for two years... pretty nice quality. I liked it.

But my ears got tired of it so I bought a WS.

 

I also know someone who had the hanger break

haha, yea i have the same exhaust on my EG no problems with the hangers yet but sometimes i get a rattling sound...not sure what it is everything underneath looks fine.

 

i find that it works excellent with my b16a. when i had my 12.3:1 CR ls/vtec in, it was pretty restrictive. whats your motor setup?

 

i have a b18c1 with dc 4in1, skunks2 mani , and cai.

it will do fine. when and if u get into internals, then a 2.5" exhaust piping would be a nice upgrade

I thought I was the only one
I have a rattle to it is the hanger that turns by the gas tank cam off and rattles against the piping. I also broke one off the muffler.

 

i have one right now on my 98 gsr and i love it. it sounds good and also looks good

 

well if it breaks off then i guess i'll just have to get it welded back on then. i think i'm prob going to get the 5zigen.
