Just installed 5Zigen Border III exhaust. My old Tanabe crapped out. Too many hits to the resonator = cracks.

This is what my car started with:

Overall, good fit and finish. Happy with the exhaust. Was looking for something quiet. This fits the bill perfectly. From the back of the car, you can actually hear the whine of the walbro FP over the exhaust. Piping is 70mm. Car feels a little torquier but seems to run out of breath a little bit earlier. Boost gauge shows a tick under .5 bar (with the 80mm Tanabe, it was a solid .5). Overall, I am pretty happy with the exhaust as I am not looking for a super high power setup anyways. If you want to run stock or close to stock boost and not get hassled by cops, this is the exhaust for you.

BTW, my crapped out Tanabe is for sale. You may be able to weld in a new resonator or just have an exhaust shop cut that piece out and weld in a piece of pipe. Or just use the muffler section. besides the resonator, everything else looks good. $50 bucks. Local pick up please.
