Go for it Sojah! My homies have them and they look just as dope in person as they do in these pictures! The cut outs in my rear bumper were too wide for that setup or I would have a pair too!

So what, the stock muffler cutouts need to be widened a little to fit? Are these the fireball ones I keep hearing about? Any one wanna hook a brotha up with a link to a very discounted place to get em' (PM). Do u all recommed a rear lip kit piece then if wider muffler cutouts are required?

I'm down here in FL for another week+ (Cisco training class) but I may just have to have these waiting on me when I get home

Thanks guys I think you have convinced me this time

Sojah, there isn't a need of a rear lip. I believe the bumper itself is perfectly cutout for the fireball megas. I can check with my buddy here in California, since he works at 5zigen. Actually i am not sure if he still does, but I can double check.

The fireball megas has an option for the LS430. But I went ahead and picked up the SC300 version and just had an exhaust shop cut and weld them on. Reason why i went with this route was because it would take a longer lead time in getting the LS version, and the cost was a bit more.

Here is a shot of my rear without the lip.

If I go with the sc's can u have it cut less so they actually stick out of the rear a little more? I'm thinking like 2" more than how vin's look in that pic above, what do u guys think

Sort of bringing back a little of the bossozoku style. Please tell me these aren't annoyingly loud inside the car like my tanabe's were on my old gs400?

Oh yeah and what's the price range on these bad boys? U know this is like the final step in my purchasing decision factor process
