I know almost everyone i talk to like the hks, but does someone have the 5zigen. If you do, is it good quality? sound deep? etc........

Both are excellent companies. I would go with the catback though unless you are getting custom piping done along with the HKS. But the axleback by itself will save you money.

I would get the HKS axleback just cause of its looks. But for a $150 more, just get the 5zigen catback. Better way to spend your money.

if you don't have any heavy duty work done to your car, then buying an exhaust is basically for sound, so i would suggest go for the cheaper one.
i have the tanabe and i actually want to switch to a smaller outlet diameter exhaust.

thanx for the info guys....i made my choice, and im going with the 5zigen. My reasons, first, i love the way the tip looks on the 5zigen; the hks tip to me is too long. Second, i actually like the sound of the 5zigen; its not like one of those fartcans i hear from the other side of my city

Its a deep sound. everytime i drive by myself, i turn off the radio, put the windows all the way down, and just listen to the catback serande me to a better place........lol
