You think it is too loud and raspy. Another person might think its sounds beautiful. Another might thinkits not loud enough.


Is "xxx" exhaust good is a very subjective question that can only truely be answered by the person asking it.

"thats the rub" is a term meaning "thats the problem"

Hope that clarifies

"too loud and raspy for MY taste"

Im aware some might like it and others will think its not loud enough, but I gave my opinion on the exhaust. The ones Ive heard IMO are loud and raspy and sound similar to Apex N1 systems. To me, thats not very good

Right, and thats my POINT. Im not klnocking your opinion, or drawing any kind of opinion about you at all. Im just pointing out to the original poster that his question is too subjective to be given an answer. He can ask what I think all he wants, but in the end my opinion of what sounds good could be completely different than his. So short of hearing it in person he isnt going to find the answer he is looking for,

i know this isn't much help but i own 5Zigen rims, and yes its a good company. I have also heard the exhaust, and it sounds nice from my perspective. Its a bit louder in comparison with my Racing Beat, but its ok.

Guys?

Not every ******* exhaust thread needs to end in people telling others to just buy RB. We've all heard what you all think and frankly, no one gives a flying **** anymore.

He asked about the 5Zigen exhaust, not Racing Beat. So that means that what you say doesn't mean ****.

So if anyone has experience with the 5Zigen exhaust just tell him. Don't go off on how much you like the exhaust he's not even asking about or considering at the moment.

Damn it.

Damn it.
DAMN! Got anger issues? You were about a helpful to this thread as a limp noodle in a **** fight.

nobody told him to go buy an RB exhaust buckwheat

to the poster:
slap it on and tell us whatcha think. I've never heard of 5Zigen making exhaust; only wheels. so I'm curious how they do.

Whoa got ****** issues?

Apparantly you cannot read. I stated he asked for an opinion on 5Zigen exhausts. Not everyone's opinion on their Racing Beat exhaust.

Reading is fundamental.

LoL, settle down guys. No need to start attacking each other.


To the original poster: When you slap it on see if you can record a sound clip for future reference for other people.

I never knew 5zigen made exhausts either, only wheels.

heh... this threads crazy... but as others have mentioned if its possible to get a video, and or sound recording that'd be cool. Im pretty sure its not going to be a waste once the thing is put together and installed on your car.

i might not know, but what does "LMK" stand for deagle50ae?
