Default RS-R Exmag GT2 exhaust

Hi, just was wondering if anyone has one of these, and if so, what do you think of it -- sound, power, installation, problems, etc. I'm waivering between the Exmag, 5Zigen, and now possibly the Espelir. Exmag has the best sound to my ears, but I'd still like to hear some opinions. Thanks

I got the 5Zigen exhaust. I like the sound! Not too loud. I have been hearing alot bout the RSR exhaust. I would go with either the 5Zigen or RSR.

Cool, thanks for the reply. It's a real toss up between the two I'd say, at least until I car hear a clip of the Espelir. 5zigen does sound nice from the clip I heard, but the RSR is really deep and boomy in comparison -- much louder, which I like. Wife likes quieter though, so that may be the deciding factor.

Any RS-R people out there?

I believe I can help you in that dept. I have the axle backs that keep things at a deep tone and quiet at freeway speeds. :D

Maybe I might look into getting the RSR exhaust soon then. I like the 5Zigen, but I want a little more sound.

Well, for what it's worth, here're the links to the .mpgs I used to compare. They're all from the Japanese Club bB website(http://www.club-bb2000.com/clubbb/index2.htm)

5Zigen:http://www.club-bb2000.com/clubbb/cu...ustommp005.mpg
Exmag GT2:http://www.club-bb2000.com/clubbb/cu...ustommp001.mpg
HKS:http://www.club-bb2000.com/clubbb/cu...ustommp006.mpg
Kakimoto GT box:http://www.club-bb2000.com/clubbb/cu...ustommp002.mpg
Apex N1:http://www.club-bb2000.com/clubbb/cu...ustommp004.mpg
Modellista:http://www.club-bb2000.com/clubbb/cu...ustommp003.mpg

To me, the Exmag just has a BIG beefy sound, which I like. Does your 5Zigen sound like it does in the vid? Just curious. BTW, definitley check out the Club bB site, it's all Japanese, but the pics are great if you want ideas.

I got an RSR for my nissan and it came with a silencer, I believe they all do. The silencer is nice for daily driving and then I take it out on the weekends.

I have never heard of the Kakimoto GT or Exmag systems. I like the sound of those two the best. Where could one obtain such an exhaust for the xA?

Dang, another that likes the kakimoto kai GT exhaust. For that exhaust , they got them in Japan. Unless some here could get them here and sell them with a silencer. Cuz that exhaust is tight!!!!!!! I would talk to the guy who runnin vividracing.com for the exmag GT.

It comes with a silencer so you can keep it quite if you want during the week and then let it roar on the weekends. It takes 2 minutes top to switch it out.
