Default Question RE 5Zigen Fireball mufflers on SC300

I was wondering how much louder, over stock, these mufflers are if installed on an NA 2JZ with no modifications to exhaust piping or resonator removal? If anyone would happen to have a soundclip, that would be great.

I have only been able to find info/soundclips/references for these mufflers on SC400s, 1JZs, NA-T 2JZs or people that have modified exhaust piping.

Thanx!

on stock piping for a stock 300 the Fireball megas aren't really that much louder then having the stock mufflers. When I had stock piping with my Fireballs they just gave the car a deeper tone on the low RPM range but once you pass like 4000 rpm it sounds really close to stock. I should have made a video but i don't have time plus now i have a midpipe so its different. haha It's not really different then stock though. It's enough to notice it but not too much louder then stock

well i dont know about a 2j but my sc400 was quiet even with no mufflers, i couldnt here it a idle unless i stuck my head out of the window, if you want something thats loud when you step on it but quiet at idle i recommend replacing the resonators with high flow ones then put on your choice of mufflers.

Thanks for the info, everyone. I am pretty much looking for something as close to stock as possible. They will be more for a visual cosmetic purpose than anything else.

Right now I think MVP is having a deal on them on the vendor section if not then its usually Luxurymods that sells them.

Yeah the 5zigens are pretty close to stock sounding, you can also go with tanabes if you want it close to stock also.
