Not sure where to post this - 5Zigen - Honda Prelude Forum

Well it's not Prelude specific, but doesn't quite fit in offtopic so I'll post here because I have a 5th Gen.

What do you guys think about 5Zigen products? Wheels, Exhaust etc... I was looking over the product line and like what I see and was just wondering how good they really are as the name has been around for a long time.

I would say try product review section

wheels, fine
exhaust: too loud and kinda cheap feeling

now are you saying cheap feeling just because it's coated aluminized steel in the piping or is the exhaust literally crap? I like the design of the 5Zigen Fire catback, which the new Tanage Concept G is a close replica of except the Tanabe has full stainless. But if it's only bling factor I'm not overly concerned. Also as far as loudness goes, I'm not concerned once again, unless it sounds like gross fartcan.

Oh and I did a search, 0 reviews found for 5Zigen products.

I was saying post this thread in the product review section. so when people give you answers, it is then reviewing the product

but yeah, i am not a fan beacuase its got crappy looking welds, old muffler technology, and i think it sounds literally BAD. But then again I have Apex'i WS and want a quiter exhaust, so i may not be the best person to help you out.

But it is not the highest quality. Its better than Weapon R but worse than Skunk2. Make sense?

Yep it does. Crazy because their catbacks are mad expensive too even for just the 5Zigen Fire.

I think I'll definitely still be looking at the FN01R-C's though.. light wheel, and not oo many quality wheels are available in that nice black finish. Still debating between them and Racing Sparco NT-R's

Anyways, thanks!

Rich A_ the FN01R-Cs are the shiznitt! yeah i got em in flat black... they also make em in a gloss black with polished lip... theyre light as hell 17x7..os48... but i have the pearl white lude and you dont like the panda theme remember??? haha lol no hard feelings yeah im definitely happy with these wheels... what color is your car?

Rich_A · 01-27-2006, 05:21 AM

my lude is NHB. those wheels needsome sort of small center cap or somethin. do you have a full pic of them on your car?

black'n'white · 02-03-2006, 02:59 AM

they have a centercap but theyre pretty nasty in my opinion... i just painted the hub and the bolts to the axle shafts flat black. trust me it looks much better in person. and the paint matches very well.. and youve seen the pictures before.. its hard to get a real good idea though cuz the photos were taken on my cell phone... if you still wanna see them lemme know i dont feel like opening up my photobucket sh!t right now im goin to bed. lata

Rich_A · 02-05-2006, 02:09 PM

could you show me some pics? I'd like to see the center caps too.
