Default 5Zigen Fireball Mega or Blitz Nur Spec?

Hello everyone,
I have a SC300 and out of curiousity, I wanna know your opinion on both exhausts. I had the blitz exhaust on my car and love the sound of it but had to return it back to my friend. But he got a ticket for it cause it was too loud. So i was wondering whether or not the Fireball exhaust would be the next best choice. If there are any other better choices out there let me know. The fireball sounds good on the SC400 that i saw on youtube but how does it sound on the SC300. help me out. Fireball or blitz or any other exhaust?

I've only had the one, the Blitz, and I'm not talking about the muffler, I'm talking full pipe from engine to tip. The silencer burnt out on me so I had to take it out, but I love it.

I got 300 and the fireball is pretty loud. It will give you a ticket as well. My friend has it on 400 and it really quiet. Dunno why...

I have Fireballs and my friend as Blitz. Both in my head is a good choice to go with. I don't have a video camera to make a video for you on the fireballs so hopefully someone will have it on stock 300. If you want the more quiet one between them then fireballs is the choice.

I had the Blitz on my 300, it had a nice sound to it, and luckily i never got pulled over. Like DWP said, both are good choices.

I have Fireballs in my garage waiting for installation. I originally liked the Blitz, but Fireball has the same huge look without looking quite so aftermarket.
