5Zigen Fireball vs Tanabe Medalion Touring vs Blitz Nur Spec ehxaust .

I need help deciding on which exhaust to go with. i have magna flow on but because it came with the car when i purchased it. But thinking of switching the exhaust up since i have upgraded many other things. but un sure which to go with.




Which sounds the best in person? in some of these videos they have no resonators and un sure of how much it will affect the sounds. anyways i want something that sounds nice and clean and nothing to loud and over exaggerating.

go with the setup red pheonix has. I dont remember his exact setup but I think its true duals 2.5" with an x pipe to the nur-specs. It sounds killer in all his vids

I think there's a tread already for this.

I respect your opinion bro, but it sounds a little raspy at high rpms. For me tanabe gets my vote with an x or y pipe.. assuming you have a SC400.

I have the 5zigen Fireball Mega exhaust with some straight piping to the cats sounds mean not to loud when standing still. I really like the look of the Blitz Nur Spec though..... i think the 5zigen is more of a classy vip look

I had the Blitz on my SC300 for a good number of years. Sounded amazing.

I have a Tanabe catback on my GS430 and it sounds perfect in my opinion. Very mature, much deeper than stock under heavy throttle, but extremely smooth and not obnoxious. The kind of exhaust that you can drive across country with and not get a headache, but it is noticebly different than stock, so you (and the surrounding public) know it's modified.

It's really up to you though. If you get the Blitz, it will sound alot quieter on a 400/430 series engine than it will on an SC300. I remember at one Lexus meet years ago, a fellow forum member had a axle back Nur Spec exhaust on his GS430... it was seriously about 2-3 times quieter than the same setup on my stock SC300.

BTW, the 5Zigen on Chrono's car looked AMAZING in person. I don't remember how it sounded in person, but it worked really well on his car. It's an agressive looking setup that works with modified car (not so much on stock cars or cars with weak fitting wheels). His rear quarters were pulled and front were aftermarket more aggressive offset fenders and really agressive 10.5 all around wheels... so that exhaust looked right at home. The Zigens, in my opinion, would just not look good on a stock car; too aggressive.

Let's not forget the ChronoJ1 had mandrel bent piping. Are you a 300, 400, 2J, 1J OP?

for sound
5zigen < tanabe < blitz, 5zigen being the quietest.
If you want loud, blitz. It will sodomize the ear drums of you and the people around you, but you'll most likely be smiling as blood drips from your ears. (i'm kinda exaggerating. kinda)
If you want a nice tone, tanabe's probably the best. It's not as subtle as the 5zigen, but it's deep and growly. I personally loved my tanabe's, coupled with my midpipe that had no resonators
as for looks, i say 5zigen < blitz < tanabe. I had the 5zigens for about a year or 2 and i have to say, i got kinda tired of how it looks. one of the reasons behind me selling them off for the tanabes.

^ the blitz is quiet if the resonators are still on.
