Fujitsubo For Cheap?

Anyone know where to get this exhaust for an amazing deal?

I decided to go with this exhaust. I have heard it with the test pipes and is awesome.

Anyone thanks

With your current setup, high-flow cats would be better than test pipes.....just an FYI.

Yes, the FUJI system sounds awesome. I'm either going with it or the Borla.

I bought it from streetimage. Ask for Jimmy, he will help you out. I bought it for a pretty good deal. I forgot how much exactly, but I thik it was around $930 Shipped.
The exhaust is totally awesome. I'd say GET THE FUJI....
My shop dynoed a bone stock 350z with only FUJI exhaust, and it showed an increase of 8.4 whp just from the exhaust. Thats is a pretty impressive power increase.
I've heard from some people that with Borla, you can actually lose low end power. And I don't feel any power lost with the Fujitsubo

Is Fujitsubo the most recommended exhaust or it there others recommended over it? Other than double the cost how about the HKS?

Why would high flows be better? Performance way or sound? i have heard both and driving both, the test pipes are a better combo with the exhaust that high flows.

No offense to you but i have seen it cheaper with the y pipe shipped to my door. I found it on some yahoo stores for 900 shipped to my door along with the Y pipe. Ok i just wanted to see.

Next to impossible to get a steal on this exhaust. It's one of the best you can get for these cars (I know I have it =) and people are willing to wait weeks for them to ship from Japan. If you can find one in stock for under $900 I would ****** it up!

IMO highflows cats are the way to go cause test pipes can get a lil raspy, but performance should be bout the same.

Where did you see it at that price??? Most places sell it for $875 for exhaust and $450 for the y-pipe. Never seen it for lower than this, unless some1 was selling a used one

Test pipes are only good if you are using a turbo or have a supercharger.

Test pipes eliminate a lot of back pressure. On a non-FI car, it's bad news because you will lose torque. Your gains will only be on the top end while losing your low end power.

Because of this, high-flows are a much better option.

Sorry dude but that price if bogus. Maybe you were looking at the sedan version. You won't find this exhaust AND a ypipe shipped for 900 ANYWHERE, that is surely below wholesale.

Nope seriously found it for 900. It i got it from a shop very local to me. But as for the test pipes, they were resonated, and i dont have to worry about the CEL light because i have an 03. I have gone over 300 miles and no CEL has turned on.


But one question does the Y-pipe from UTR differ from the fuji one? They look identical in pictures. Reason asking i might want to get that one because i can save a lil bit more.


And again guys thanks for your input. i appreciate it like always

Ok then please post contact information on where to get that price for BOTH fuji ypipe and exhaust, I know two guys with cash in hand today.

First you say Yahoo store (shipped) then you say somewhere very local to you, I'm confused...

NO BS trust me.

Well it happenens to be the guy was a local store that has a yahoo store.

I also have the cash ready in my hand, i feel like he is pulling my tail as well, i know for a FACT people have bought them for over 900+ without the y-pipe. I saw it was an amazing deal so i decided to call. Turns out the person who owns the shop was a dear friend from school.

But i remember him being kind of a liar. I will let you know the details, but like i said before i wanted to see where was the cheapest place.

Ill pm you the info when i find out it is legit.

I agree with you. That is completely below wholesale. Its impossible to get the exhaust and y pipe for that price. The exhaust yes, but the y pipe is another 400 bucks. I'm sure a whole bunch of people would buy it if it was only 900 bucks for both.
