Any pics or sound clips.

Good luck finding the elusive all aluminum exhaust for our cars.

Yeah thats where I found out about it, but there is very limited info there. I generally like to get the opinion of someone who has it and is not trying to sell me something, before I buy it. If I call they'll likely just regurgitate the info thats on their site. This is the info from their...

I can't believe no one has first hand knowledge of this exhaust.

Be sure to post pics once you get it on your car...You'll be the first to do so.

Any info of the 5Zigen would be appreciated I've searched the site but there is limited info. Type of info I'm looking for fitment, sound, performance gains, approximate weight, installed pics.

How much do these aftermarket cats effect emissions? We have testing here. Granted I won't have to have my car tested for like 2 years since its new.

My bad I was going off the pic thats on the protege5online.com site.

Typically what I've seen is the N1 style produce more power, and are basically what you see the magazine's put on their project cars (anecdotal info). N1 also refers to where the style came from N1 Racing, if that gives you any insight. I think N1 tend to be a little louder, but not always in a...

From pics I've seen. Racing Beat/Mazdaspeed, SR Motorsports, Borla/Bosal, Thermal, TeamMoon, and Greddy are more muffler/tip style. HKS, JIC, Skunk2, Ractive, 5Zigen are more N1 canister style.

f.i. is a possibility but probably not for a few years. Maybe a wet nitrous system sooner for some fun at the track.

No flame intended but 100mm is close to 4 inches, I've search all over this forum for pics of the Greddy on the car. I've found pics of the JIC and Racing Beat installed. I'd like to see whether Greddy looks truly obnoxious or not. Anybody know of a pic.

Give enough time and poor conditions virtually any metal is going to have its issues. I live in St. Louis so we get the full spectrum of weather. Anybody have Dyno results for the Greddy and JIC (both SUS and ST if you've got them). The racing beat is ~ +5 for hp and torque, which seems...

I'm trying to figure out which catback I want to buy for my P5. I'm down to Greddy Evo, Racing Beat, and JIC 505 sus. The RB Dyno specs are on their site but can't find anything "official" on the others. Also I read somewhere on here that the Racing Beat is heavy ~50lbs and the JIC is light...

Perfworks - Thanks for the insight. I'm assuming its safe to use my floor jack on the frame in front of the radiator support to lift the front end and place the stands.
