I'm very happy with my fuji. It's extremely quiet. Esp with my turbonetics kit. It's the perfect balance between performance and not needing a loud exhaust to attract unwanted attention.

I second that. Sooo many ppl on here sport half@ssed replicas that have horrible fitting, etc.... so none of those ppl have room to talk about fake


I say if the glove fits....

My reverse y-pipe only cost $75 to fabricate up to the HKS... a lot cheaper than I was expecting.

The fake one looks decent but more importantly, what about the internal parts and honeycomb construction - does it really performed as well or better (I doubt it) or worse than authentic? How's the sounds compare? Like everything else, you get what you paid for. Just my 2 cents.
