Question 5zigen fireball from ls400 to ls430

Hello, I was wondering if a 5zigen fireball mega from a ls400 would fit on a ls430? I dont mind the pipe welding and stuff if i have to, but would the exhaust fit inside the bay of the stock exhaust sits inside? What would i have to do to make it fit?

not sure how different the ls400 are, but i would expect the fireball mega would just be the muffler section? I had fireball mega off an sc300 welded for my car

I would assume. Fireball mega only comes in mufflers alone. Correct me if I am wrong cause I got my fireball mega for an SC300 brand new from 5zigen.



My car with sc300 fireball mega fitted.

It will fit, the only difference between ucf30 and 31 is the cutout for exhaust, if you cut out an opening on the 01-03, it will fit.

Looks great Celsior21! Now my mind is wondering about doing this to my 01. Too bad the 04-06 bumper isn't a direct fit (new trunk needed)

Hows it sound? maybe post a video...

Hells Yes !!!! Great looking Celsior21. Looks like we have similar cars with the gold emblems unless its just the lighting in the pictures.

How much are the exhaust? Really need a sound clip.

^^ airtime i dont have gold emblems its just the colortone photo haha. The exhaust would range between 600-800 depending where you go to. I will try to get a clip together. It has a deep tone to it but the large oem resonator keeps the exhaust very quiet. I am going to do custom piping next to eliminate the resonators. So I will make a clip for each.

I'd drive around a bit first before you go and change things. I've noticed from past cars, it usually sounds super quiet at first then tends to get a bit louder. Just my 2cents.

I'd love to see some pics though!!!
