Good. It does not look too angled which is what I like it. I think I am going to get this one. By the way the exhaust is a 5ZIGEN FIRE5ZIGEN axleback.

I do have on question. Right now I have a Greddy EVO like pictured above and I was just wondering if the 5zigen axle-back will be a direct bolt on?

Here's the exhaust that was on my car when i bought it. It's a Tanabe muffler with custom piping. Way too loud! I need to replace it quick. My car is dropped pretty low on ground control coilovers and I've never had a problem with scraping. My next exhaust will probably be the Greddy EVO though. I've had it in the past and loved the sound and the look.

That looks pretty nice, I would want it angled up a little bit more.

I got the Invidia on my CRX which has a B16 in it. I can't really tell you how it is in comparison to the other exhausts since it is the only aftermarket exhaust I have ever owned. However, I love how it sounds. It's not obnoxiously loud in the lower-mid RPM's and has that nice deep sound. I was afraid it was going to sound high pitched and ricey, but the only time it really gets loud is 5000+ RPM and I only hit that on the highway. As for performance, as long as you have a perforated core type muffler (meaning, without the baffles) you're going to get about the same improvements in exhaust flow on any given brand of exhaust (assuming they are all the same diameter). Basically all you're doing is reducing the psi in backpressure. Stock pipes usually generate about 12-15 psi whereas an aftermarket system can reduce it to about 6-8 psi. Just to give you a better idea, rally cars using test pipes (straight back, no cat or muffler) generate about 1 psi.

Is it the Invidia N-1? Is it angled?
