Does anyone have this exahust system .. from what I can tell it looks like a quality cat-back. I heard one with the silencer removed and it ratteles your insides!! I'm thinking about buying it cause my local shop has too many and hes goin to hook me up on the deal.

I just want to know what you guys think about it?

Thanks

 

IMHO, it's not THE absolute best catback out there, but it's a very good one nonetheless. If you're getting it for a good price, then you'll be happy.
I think hokusai (his username) had one before. Try PM'ing him if you have further questions.

 

I just received mine (5zigen Miracle cat-back) from the mainland, will be installing it probably tomorrow... I'll post a review for ya and some pics as soon as I get it on my WRX.

Hey thanks for your input guys.

JDM_SAL .. that would be great. The one thing I was wondering about was how it mounted to the car. I don't like it when they angle so much. this one just apeared to angle slightly upward and towards the side of the car.

 

The angle on the exhaust is what's called "N-1" style. The reason for it is so that there are minimal bends in the exhaust to keep it as free flowing as possible. I had the HKS Hiper Carbon-Ti (N-1 style also) and if you're worried about clearance issues there were none. Its all personal preference too, I really like the angled exhaust look myself =). I just installed the 5zigen (Miracle) last night so I'll post the pics this afternoon...

 

Was there any reason you are switching from HKS .. cause that was the other one I had in mind (the only thing about the Carbon TI is everyone has one).

The miracle which I also heard was fitted onto an EVO. I'm sure on our engines it sounds even better.

JDM_SAL .. thanks for your help.

 

Here is a pic of my 5zigen Miracle cat-back...



Had a slight problem with fitment/clearance on this one compared to my HKS Hiper Carbon Ti cat-back... had to pound a small dimple into the b-pipe, 'cause it (the b-pipe)was rubbing on the drive-shaft bearing carrier (dunno if it's called that, but that's what its function is) located in the center of the underside of the vehicle. Other than that looks and sounds great! Also, it is A LOT louder than my HKS Hiper Carbon Ti too, so if your looking for a quiet exhaust, this one ain't it.

Looks good man, I think I might just go pick one up. At first I wasn't sure about the mounting angle, but now that I see it installed on a WRX, it's grown on me.

Thanks Neale
