i also installed the Y-pipe.

attached are side by side comparisons of the two. Notice the Fujitsubo has a slightly larger collector and piping

Re: DIY Fujitsubo Exhuast Install with Pics

it took me about 3 hours with a friend to get the exhaust and y-pipe installed.

compared to my Eibach install, this was a piece of cake.

only needed to jack up the rear end of the car.

Nice silver tips. They won't last long. My Fujitsubo tips turned gold from the exhaust heat after a few days. That's one of the problems with single wall tips. I will probably change my tips out because I really wasn't looking for exhaust tips that match my Brembos. Other than that, the build quality and sound is top notch. Enjoy.

Re: DIY Fujitsubo Exhuast Install with Pics

Couple of questions...

Where did you order the exhaust from and how much did it cost you?
Was it in stock or did you have to wait for several months to get it?

Also, has anyone experienced any negative experiences with the Fujisubo set-up? Do the tips get too hot and melt or discolor the rear diffuser? TIA...

Re: DIY Fujitsubo Exhuast Install with Pics

I saw the group buy a while back, but decided against it at the time. If I'm correct, the price did NOT include the Y-Pipe, am I right?
