Ok, I am faced with something of a dillemma here.

I like very quiet, oval canister, single-tip exhausts.

I do NOT have $1600 to blow on the Mine's Silence VX (which is what I REALLY want).

Thus, my two options are the Blitz Realize TT and the 5Zigen Border III (and the Fujitsubo Legalis R if I want to spend a bit more).

They both have similar specs, Blitz is a tad pricier, but what's really throwing me off are pictures of the 5Zigen's tip.

Some images of it have the tip pointing upwards, and some do not. I do NOT want it to point upwards, I think it looks goofball. Does anyone here own one?

Check it out:

Not point up:

Pointing up:

There's got to be someone here who owns one... Can you please tell me what it really looks like, and whether it points up like that or not?

Thanks.

I'm not terribly worried about that. I am buying a 3"/70mm exhaust regardless, and not ALL of them are necessarily ear-splittingly loud on a KA, and insomuch as I am aware, the Border III is one of these.

what im saying is the border III used to be available in a NA 60mm size, and it was very nice...i looked into it but then they stopped production

you can get a RS*R exmag for a quiet 3", only thing is its not full stainless
