bump for more info... this is definitely different... what are the benefits/negatives of splitting the exhaust flow then combining it?

Thumbs up

well you can go here and read more about it. You aint gonna find much on this exhaust in english.

I will take some more pics tomorrow with a real camera, and also some install pics, and then of course some video for sound.

The tip looks crazy, and those dual pipes are even nuttier! I love it

Works well on V8s. But I dont really see much advantage since it starts out as one. Maybe its backpressure they are after, and not hp....???

Im taking it to Road Race Engineering on Thursday to get it put on... and get some other stuff done. Installing a Buschur DP at the same time. From what i have read its supposed to minimize the torque loss that you get from a 3"pipe and its gonna be loud.

Interesting, I just read on the 5zigen's Australia site:

"FEATURES: Pipe layout for overall performance gain with a pleasing pitch tone. Great for street use with a decibal reading averaging under 90dB. This series muffler is JASMA certified in Japan."

Under 90db... i wonder if it could be true.

Somebody really needs to a back to back dyno test with this thing to see what it really does...

also, dB rating at 1 meter on and 30* off axis would be cool, too.

To bzzbee2: where did you pick it up that it was too good to not get???

I will see if i can get dyno'd tomorrow at RRE. I doubt they will have time though. If someones got the decible meter thingy im more than willing to test it out.

I wouldnt suspect that you would get great gains from something like this. JDM ****** Delight to me.



But on a side note
Sooo...... Your pretty hairy.....
