Opinions on 5Zigen Exhaust?

Bad Boy · 09-16-2014, 07:50 PM

Ive been looking around for exhausts and recently stumbled upon the 5Zigen Pro Racer Exhaust.
I tried searching the forums for any and all information but all I could find were very old "for sale" posts.
As for YouTube, I can only find 2 Videos with this set-up. As far as I can tell, this is my most favored exhaust sound, and Ive heard many.

Im curious as to why I cant find much information on this $1500 Exhaust. Does anyone know more about this? Im considering this one over Motordyne Shockwave.
I cant find any drive by or acceleration videos of this 5Zigen, or if it has any drones.

Also, to anyone with the AAM Short Tails, do they make too much vibration inside? how loud is the drone?

Thanks.

Also, Completely random... I recently waxed my car with Turtle Wax Ice and Turtle Wax tire shine.
Very impressed with the results.
I mainly wanted to share my experience with the Turtle Wax tire shine. Ive used various tire shines before... aersoal cans, sprays, and gels. Neither compares to this product I found at Auto Zone. It comes in a very small black and silver can for $13. BUT worth every penny!
This thing creates a hard shell coating around your tire wall and leaves it looking soaking wet and super black. The can claims it will last 3-4 months before needing retouching, and that it can go through car washes without destroying the coat. By the looks of the results, I dont doubt it.
Sorry, I just love stumbling across a really good product. And who doesnt love 24/7 shiny tires on a sleek sports car?

Many years ago, I had a 5Zigen exhaust on my '94 Integra. I liked it.

Sorry, i know that doesn't really help much

on your wax/shine area you should check out Junkman's tutorials in the detailing section. Very thorough, very easy to follow and lots of videos. It will give you a very good understanding of how to cut, polish, protect your paint.

I know this exhaust are popular with honda civics.
I used to drool over them but its just not popular with Nissan tuning world.
Build quality I know they are Great.

I don't. I like nice, clean and matte black tires.

I had that exhaust on my '10 roadster. Loved the sound and had many compliments. I don't think you'll be disappointed with this exhaust if you purchase one.

I'd be cautious of those tire products. They look nice, I'm sure, but most will do long term damage to the rubber. If your tires done last all that long, I guess it's no big deal. I too prefer the clean, natural look.

Looks nice, but I'm never a fan of making "every bit of the car" black. Door handles etc... I think the base look of the car not full appreciated
