I'm assuming it's a 5Zigen Fireball imitation instead of the real one. I ask b/c the price's so tempting but yet I don't know anything about it. Any help would be appreciated, thx!

Looks promising! You can definately pay waaay more for something else. Post pics and a sound clip when you get it.

Ok I emailed the seller asking a couple questions & he responded back very quickly...It's not an actual 5Zigen Fireball (Too good to be true for that price, lol). So my dilemma...Buy this for $170 & take a chance on the fit/finish/sound or spend an extra $80 to get the real deal. If I buy it then I'll mos def take pics. Hmm....

fit and finish should be good , sound slightly loud with the silencer removed but low and nice(should be)

Thx for the info! Do you have this exhaust or have u heard it in person? I'm trying to figure out what it sounds like compared to the authentic 5Zigen Fireball version.

I'm just judging it againt 90% of all canister type exhausts on xB's

I ask b/c I had a 5Zigen Fireball exhaust on my old Civic & it was really quiet (Which I really liked). My friend bought an imitation that looked similiar to it for his Civic & it was insanely rice loud. Thus, I just wanted to know if anyone has heard of this specific exhaust to see if it's insanely loud or quiet like the 5Zigen Fireball I had, that's all.

It looks like the JIC exhaust I purchased.
The JIC is deep toned but can be loud at certain rpms.

Have you heard & seen this particular product in person? If yes on both accounts then don't read the rest of this post...It's stupid & wasted comments like yours I'm trying to avoid since you have no experience w/it. I'll "spend a little more" when I feel I need to. After all, I didn't spend $2600 on a full cat-back exhaust for the M3 for no reason. :P

On a brighter note...Does anyone have the authentic 5Zigen Fireball exhaust for an xB? If yes, then how's it sound like, fit/finish? Thx!

look bottom line is, its 170 bucks and its from ebay. spend 100 more dollars and get it done right the first time. strup makes a nice one for under 300 and precision muffler makes a nice one too for about 250

no offense to you xmetalx... but what makes it not done right the first time? since its from ebay its not quality? the way i look at it, if you save even $60 by buying this over stylis' set up, then why not?

dude its the same friggen deal as those projector tail lights that sell for 200 bucks, its trashy half fast garbage, i bet the welds are crappy, its probably very low grade steel, and last but not least its a canister with a silencer lol RICE RICE BABY

eh your opinion i suppose. ill probably end up going with it eventually. maybe your right xmetalx. i apologize if i am wrong. i was just hoping someone else could be the guinea pig instead of me :P im not wanting to start anything, but you realize by making fun of silencers, you just slammed on every xB RS 2.0 owner :nails: thats exactly what their mufflers have, silencers :lalala:

Buy it, it could end up being a good product. Like the saying goes, " Live and learn..."

the rs2.0 is probably worse looking than the rs1.0, so since it looks rice yellow it can sound like rice yellow.
