I know that Fujitusbo makes the NISMO exhaust, and you have to extend the tips of the NISMO to make it fight on a G35, but....

ARE THERE ANY DIFFERENCES IN THE SOUND??? or are they basically the same. I'd greatly appriaicte your help. Thanks.

 

i heard they sound the same..its just that nismo is more well known ..then fujitusbo

 

the tips are larger and more oval on the fuji (by an inch I believe), but the sound is not all that different given the two are near identical single path style exhausts.

I'd go with the fuji personally, as you wouldn't have to deal with the rewelding of the tips.

 

or get the nismo and just get these ..................... http://www.thenismoshop.com/ikorb.ph...oduct_id=12663

 

This only allows a Z b pipe to bolt up to a G. Even w/ the extension, the tips would come up short on the muffler piece and would char the bumper, unless they are extended and rewelded.

 

I have actually owned and installed both exhausts on my G35 Coupe. Despite what lots and lots of people on this forum say, they are VERY different exhausts. Both exhausts that I've had have been used (completely broken in). And I've had Crawford cats and intake mods with both exhausts.

Nismo with extension piece, stock y-pipe: I really liked the way the tips looked. Yes, they were "tucked under" the bumper a little bit, but they are slightly angled upwards which is cool, and I didn't think it was worth it to have a shop custom-cut-and-weld the tips. My problem with the Nismo, which is why I eventually got rid of it, is that it was INSANELY loud inside the cabin. The thing droned like crazy. I posted a review here:

Fujitsubo: Like everyone says, the tips are thin and huge. Sometimes I love them, because on a side view of the car, you can see them slightly sticking out and it looks awesome. Sometimes I don't like them as much, like when I'm looking directly at the back of the car. But in this case, what everyone else says IS correct - you DO get used to them. As far as the sound goes, WAY quieter than the Nismo. Also, way less sweet sounding and aggressive when you're really getting on it. So when I'm on the highway going about 70-75 mph, there is a little bit of drone that I wish wasn't there. But I'd say that if the level of drone in the Nismo exhaust was 9/10, the Fuji exhaust is 5/10. It's a big difference. It is unquestionable quieter than stock at idle, it sounds the best at about 3000 RPMs, and it seems to add power only in the extreme upper RPM band. Finally, after I had it installed I wanted it to be a little more aggressive sounding, so I went out and bought the y-pipe to go along with it. I'm 50/50 on the y-pipe, because it sounds like I have an exhaust leak, so I need to get it checked out.

Bottom line: If you're only interested in performance and how badass the exhaust sounds, get the Nismo. If you have passengers in your car all the time, like coworkers, girlfriends, or parents, get the Fuji. Both can be had for about the same price.

Thanks A Lot Guys. I Really Appreciate It

 

Fuji FTW

 

fuji makes nismo

 

Pra11 hit the nail on the head, the Fuji is MUCH quiter than the nismo. I like that about it though.

 

Everyone does realize that there IS a Nismo specifically made for the G35, which is a Japan only item. The majority of the G35 folks getting Nismo exhaust are buying the 350Z application, adding an 8" extension, and possibly extending the tips. The actual G35 application though is like $1800, whereas the 350Z application is under $1k. Forum member "Melissa" has the actual G35 application, and she's local in the Dallas area here.

 

Oh and I have the Fuji exhaust which is quieter than the Nismo. It is louder now though with my Vortech, Y-pipe, and high flow cats.

So far I've had stock, Pro-1, GReddy SP2, and now Fujitsubo.

 

I like the Fuji. I think it sounds a lot better. It sounds really deep too.

The resonator is bigger and overall, the system is quieter. But it still gets loud at WOT.

I heard from a few different sources they have some kind of valve inside the muffler that opens up as you get on it. So its quiet at curise and a lot louder at WOT.
