Ok, if you really to, then vote for the N1.

Preference is on looks, price, and sound!

 

I had a really annoying exaust on my prelude, but now i have the 5zigen, deep sound (not loud) its awsome doesnt make a lot of noise on roadstrips too.

 

I love my 5zigen.

 

Tanabe Racing Medallion

 

isnt it the AXLE BACK version of 5zigen that is only $285?

the catback is $400+ just like other companies ya know!?

unless yer talkin' used parts here....

 

Axle Back? Might Be.

Basically it's down to this now. (all cat-backs)

> Tanabe Racing Medalion (very highly spoken of, and fits well/doesn't look too ricey)

> 5Zigen Fireball (well spoken of as well, although not as much as the Tanabe/semi-ricey looks)

> Apexi WS/N1 (both very good, but WS isn't as good for turbo (small pipe), and N1 sounds ricey/hangs too low(?))

> Custom exhaust would be cool, but the cost of living is this area is very high, and I doubt I could get it cheaper than one of the above.

 

i say get the Tanabe G-Power

 

Greddy, awesome sound and looks. Or the thermal, all stainless and nice sound. Persoanlly dont like the racing medallion/n1 the sound, too loud for me. But if its just between 5zigen or tanabe then 5zigen.
just my 2 cents

 

5 Zigen..good quality

 

Does anyone have sound clips of these exhausts by any chance??? Also pics would be helpful as well!

 

5 Zigen the quietest aftermarket exhaust out there. I love mine! And it looks different because it sits a little bit side ways.

 

Hehe, even though I like my 5Zigen, its L o u d. Probably not N1/RM loud, but close (I need that baffle before I go deaf on the highway).

 

ok...you obviously don't know what you are talking about. I don't doubt that you love it though

 

Get the G-power...looks a hell lot better than the soda can exhaust look...
and da deep VROOMM dat it makes

 

5zigennnnnnnnn

 

HKS HIPER HAS RESONATOR AND NOT AS LARGE OF PIPING SO NOT ALL LOW END IS GONE PLUS HAPPY MEDIUM SOUND WISE AND HKS QUALITY!and the best of all is the tip isn't even that big (just a little over 3.5in)

i have a file of my tanabe. it's a crappy quality video. it's on my car club message board. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nextevolutionmailinglist/
go look under files. it's my teg doing a 'flyby"
i love my racing medallion. when it gets annoying i throw on the silencer and it's quiet as stock.

 

Ever heard of a caps lock key???

 

do you lose any power with the silencer in the tanabe?

 

I put a 5Zigen Fireball on my GF's LS. It's pretty damn quiet compared to the Tanabe RM or the APEXi N1. One other thing to remember is that the 5Zigen's piping is not stainless steel or aluminumized steel. It will rust after time.

 

5Zigen people, do you have any troubles with the B pipe hanging too low? Mine is sagging in the middle and its getting rather screwed up.

 

Tanabe racing medallion, definitely quieter and lighter than the fireball. It's also not as raspy as the fireball.

 

huh?!!! you got it backwards my friend.

 

racing medallion is loud as ****!!!
