Default Good sound after market mufflers for first gen gs?!

Hey guys, just wondering where I could get some 3" inlet mufflers for my gs. I custom fitted a top speed pro gs3/gs400 3" cat back exhaust on my car last summer and it sounds nice and everything but the mufflers are way too big and it only looks nice from a certain angle. I've looked on eBay but I don't wanna buy something that I wouldnt like. Any inputs?

I like 5zigen fireball megas, but they're really expensive. I have an Apexi muffler, and I love the way it sounds.

I'm gonna check in a bit, but does eBay have those 5zigen fire ball megas? And how tall are those if you knew?

5Zigen closed down there US plant so now they have to come from Japan and are about 300$ more then they used to be (axel back setup). VIPdaily has them https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...int-are-on.htm

You can contact L-tunedparts or Luxurymods and they can order it but I think its 1000-1200 with a 8-12 week wait for them. Probably wont find it on ebay

If your just looking for universal mufflers I would suggest apexi world sport. They sound great and have a slightly more conservative look to them

Where can I get those, and my best option right now would be getting a set of mufflers so that I don't have to redo my entire exhaust since I've already spent a lot of $$ custom fitting the top speed pro. All I wanna do or get rid of the mufflers I have in there an get something that fits better, and sounds great.

I'm rocking Megans 2.5/3" with the silencers. See my profile pic. Never regretted getting them. Factory sound with better flow. Kept the resignators.
