Default 5zigen Mega Fireballs on a 3GS

Correct me if I am wrong, I think 5zigen discontinue making Mega Fireballs and even though they did continued it, they only make it for 1SC and 2GS. Due to custom fit, the exhaust fitment is slightly off but overall i am really loving it.

"Mikes Mufflers" @ 626 area, did the most they can to make those fit on my 07 3GS, overall besides my exhaust, they really have good ratings and recommendation from this forums and others.

I only have 1 picture and a short clip of how it sounds. it's not as clear, so hopefully later i will get the chance to do a shoot on it and a better video.

youtube link for video:

Is that your car in the Royal Flush Crew video before you had the exhaust and body kit?. Man your car sits nicely. What are the offsets of the rims love the fitment. You need to start spamming pictures of that car on club Lexus lol.

Anyhow, tone of exhaust sounds great and would love to hear it while the car is in motion. Actually looks darnn good from behind but if that's your driving height be prepared for it to get banged up a bit.

Looks ready to get ripped off at the first speed bump or mega pothole.

sounds nice and sporty.. the exhaust is available for 3gs as well, but it doesn't give u that vip look from the rear like 2gs. exhausts are hanging so low though, prob u r on the air?

^don't think they make it for the 3gs'. and yeah, the exhausts hang pretty darn low, but that's the design of the exhaust and given that he is slammed, there's no way of avoiding it as we both witnessed firsthand. D:

yeah, i recently joined the royal flush crew not to long ago, and which video are you preferring to?

wheel size fitment on my car isnt that aggressive, since i didnt want to pull fender until later on. its 19x9.5 +25 & 19x10 +17. i dont really give out my wheel set up, but since its not that aggressive why not haha.

the exhaust is kind of loud... lol well not as loud as the other performance car of course, but yeah thanks for the compliment

are you by any chance in socal?

after you said it, i think they do make fireballs for 3gs, but i dont like the newer model of it for the 3gs, the older gen for 2gs looks alot nicer thats why i got it.

and nope, im running coilovers. =D

not much really, they just put brackets near the tips so it wont wobble and they just weld the pipes together.

your car looks awesome. I watch your youtube videos pretty often. love the way your car sounds. do you get any drone? i was planning to get the mega's but L-Tuned said they're discontiued. 5Zigen can make one for me but it will take a couple of months and it will be double the price. Im surprised not alot of members here have that set up. I myself made a custom exhaust. Got myself a top speed axleback. since its cheaper and the tone sounds pretty good. chopped the tips off and welded 12" tips on. sorta like the Mega's and JP look, sounds awesome!!

heres a clip of a start up:
