5Zigen Exhaust

5Zigen is one of the premium quality manufacturers who specialise in exahust systems for all performance cars, even the DE3A FTO.

Two of the most well known brands to offer for jap cars is HKS and 5Zigen. Very Rare and expensive too. Although well worth it when you hear it roar, its like no other.

I was lucky to get my hands on a 5Zigen Pro Racer A-Spec straight through exhaust for my FTO. Will never be changing it, unless its for another Zigen ^_^


"The 5zigen Pro Race A-Spec cat back exhaust system is perfect for the street with an average of only 90db but still offering the performance benefits. The tail muffler has been constructed with Iconel 600 which offers superior heat resistance and antirust." 

Advantages:

• Stainless Steel Piping at 1.2mm thick
• Straight through design, for maximum free flow
• Mid-torque emphasis on pipe layout
• Nice exhaust tone and JASMA certified in Japan (meaning 90db street legal)
• Light Weight

Disadvantages:

• Rare hard to get a hold of, unless buying new from Japan
• The exhaust itself is not expensive, quite reasonably priced but to get it imported over is expensive. So overall cost is high. 
• Db Fairly loud at night, can definitely hear it coming. Not always nice. Also when parked next to a car, the exhaust can tend to set the persons alarm off behind u lol.

Brand: 5-Dimensional Pro Racer A-Spec

Diameter of pipe: 60.5 phi
