i've read all the posts about exhausts on more than 3 boards, including clubrsx.com, and my conlusion about universal and name brand(muffler) is that universal might sound more crisp and louder than name brand and would rust out faster if the material is weak. as far as performance goes, there shouldn't be any difference or at least you won't be able to notice it at all. if quality is not an issue and you don't care about name brand, get universal...it's just a muffler under that car which will not do much **** except producing noise.

 

no... when i meant universal... i meant the 5zigen universal exhaust...

 

yeah i was comparing universal fireball and zigen fireball

 

oh... it sounded like you were talkin about a generic universal(no name) vs name brand axle back...

 

the Miracle is the lightweight/thinner Fireball. there are 2 different Fireballs though, one for N/A, which is the short tip, and the Turbo one, which i'm guessing is the long tip.

 

i cancelled the order on fireball and getting the Kakimoto N1 which was made in Japan.:thumbup:

 

isnt the fireball also made in japan?

 

its a very nice looking exhaust and its not even loud.

 

how much u think it would cost to get the 2 universal fireball's and get custom piping and that y pipe? convesion to dual exhausts from the i4?

 

you should refer this question to DEEZ cuz he has done the exactly same thing as you want.
