Default 5Zigen Fireball exhaust

Anyone have experience with the 5zigen Fireball mega exhaust? I haven't seen many people with this exhaust. It's a little more expensive than most out there, but I'd like to hear how it sounds on an IS.


UPDATE ON PAGE 2!!!

I came real close to getting it too, negotiated a pretty good price with a CL vendor, but opted not to. Now i have a Joe-Z race version on the way, but post pics and sound clips please!!

Any pics of this exhaust? I'm guessing it's on the quiet side?

Check that link out. I think that's a nice looking exhaust. Not sure how it sounds... Taking a risk buying this, but I'm sure it's gonna sound good.

I think I've seen a video and if I remember correctly, it's on the louder side?

Got the link??

They do make one for the Acura RL. It sounds pretty sick. Here's the link.

edit: Sorry don't know how to embed youtube videos. here is the physical link:

It doesn't seem loud for the RL, even in a parking garage. May be different for the IS...

Looks pretty damn good. Still a lot of money to spend with no sound clips. The RL sounds good, but it says he has more done than just the exhaust.

I just saw some on youtube with the Lexus SC and it was pretty damn loud....may be the SC motor though.

Just got these installed. This exhaust sounds deeper and louder than F-sport exhaust.... May be a good thing for some people, but for me it's a little bit too loud.

Anyone know the break in period of exhausts? I am hoping that the exhaust will get more quiet over time.
