Definitely looks legit. I personally think the 5Zigen tip looks ridiculous, but either way your replica looks pretty spot on. Nice work.

While I'm sure the end product won't look as clean, it definitely beats wasting $900 in end mufflers.
Wow that looks nice...what tip size and muffler did you use and also what angle cut did you do for the tips it looks dead on...im just ordered the fireballs and im about to delete my order so i can do this thanks

Here's my attempt at some Fauxballs with my Top Speed Pro-1's. They stick out a little more but I like it.

Nice job! I did something similar but used Vibrant mufflers and 15 degree 3.5" tips. The Fireballs are a little big for me.

I think it looks pretty good. There is one local guy here with the Megas and I'm hoping he will let them go lol.

I don't think I'm allowed to post the eBay link but just search the measurements in the first post. The ones I bought were $18.95 a piece.
