Blitz hands down, RedPheonix's SC400 is a prime example. From what I hear from the handful of SC's with The 5'Zigen it has a less deep and more metallic rattle when throttling.

So Blitz? You see I have a Vertex Ridge on the way and I was thinking the 5Zigens would go nicely with the shape of the rear. My project is to make a sporty looking Lexus with luxury in mind first. I don't know if the Blitz would be so subtle?

+1 on 5Zigen Fireball Mega... Wish they offered some cat-backs tho or at least mid-pipes pass the first resonator.

Here is my 5Zigen DIY install

Yeah but that's a V8. Doubt it will sound that good on my 300.

5Zigen is only axle-back. I haven't seen someone did custom piping from the cat-back to the 5zigen muffler. I've been meaning to do so but lack of funds are preventing me hahahahaa...

lol, true. The Magnaflow doesn't sound too bad on a 300 since its smaller.

This guy did his whole exhaust, I think he might also be a CL member or at least someone in the Lexus community.

Anyways, it sound like its rattling probably because of the long tip with I think looks awesome though. Oh, and I know what you mean abount funds man. Brakes seized up on LS lastweek so that sucked my account dry >_>... Gotta hold off on my coilovers until next early next month.

Dual HKS Carbon TI's would be sick too!

I'd go with the Blitz over the Fireballs though.

Blitz is a lot louder on a 300 then 5zigens. 5zigens on a 300 will sound really close to stock but just a little deeper tone, unless you get them done fully cat back then the 5zigens will sound real good. Right now i have a midpipe on my 5zigen and it sounds real nice. I still need to get the rest of the piping done but I haven't had time. I have a friend that has the Blitz dual but I don't really like them because the tone is so hollow sounding (could just be his car but i dont know....) His is still slightly louder then mines and hes on stock piping. If you compare them on stock piping Blitz would take the trophy of being a lot louder. and I do mean A LOT louder lol, it's just that weird hollow tone that makes me not like them...

if you want sound and no wider-diameter mid-pipes, then blitz. if you want long-fu_k exhaust tips, 5zigens. i have 5zigens with custom 2.5" midpipes, and i love the sound. downshifts give me hard-ons.

Fireball looks great, but $800+ for just an axle back? That's a little bit much.
