Recently I purchased 5zigen Fireball Megas. They are absolutely baller but my issue is that they are a direct bolt on for my SC which means I'd have to alter them for custom piping. Now I would like to get some custom piping on my exhaust to make a custom catback system with 2.5''-3.0'' piping. I am seriously considering purchasing dasc4's setup however it is 2.25'' piping and the tips I believe are just N1 style knockoffs.

I just want to get everyones opinions. Should I keep my 5zigens, cut of the inlet pipes and get some custom piping installed on em? Or should I just get the catback system from dasc4, or should I just get a completely new system with 2.5''-3.0'' piping with some tips. I know for sure I want 4'' tips. If the third choice, which tips are recommended? Please let me know what you guys think.

Thanks

 

First off, trash the 2.5"/3" piping idea. WAY to large a diameter for a stock 1UZ. You'll see a noticible decrease in performance. 2.25" is ideal.

 

i remember my honda days i had 2.25 piping and my car rean really strong ,this guy with a h22 accord was constantly getting embarras from my civic ,he also had 2.25 piping .one day he came out to the races talking trash saying he have 3 inch pipes now that he want to race for titles .i said ok,we raced and i embarrased him more than ever .the car did not only get slower but it got louder .i felt bad for buddy .i left him with his accord

 

oo thanks guys. guess i had the wrong idea.

so what do you guys think though? should i keep my 5zigens, or if i do get a custom catback, what kind of tips should i get?

thanks

 

the 5zigens are a three inch tip. Are those the ones that were for sale in the classifieds section?

 

umm well i have them on my car right now.. im pretty sure they're 4''... and yes same ones in the classified.

 

go for the TRUE DUAL exhaust set up from the cats 2.25 in piping into and xpipe and then straight to the mufflers. I'm gonna go get mine done soon, and i wanna make it a complete bolt on.

 

does this setup eliminate the center cat? and would that be legal in socal..let me know how urs goes

 

yea, but i heard it was either a center resonator or center cat. Either way, im gonna do it.

 

I second that or is it third by now??
