Fujitsubo Legalis R Installed
Well I got the Fujitsubo Legalis R installed today along with the Nismo swaybars. First the swaybars, although I just drove around town it feels a lot tighter taking turns, we'll see at the end of the month at Sebring.
Now to the exhaust, below is a picture of the two exhausts side by side. First the Fujitsubo has bigger tips aboth 1 inch wider and looks meaner, the sound at idle is pretty much like stock maybe a lower pitch rumble, but get on the gas and it comes to life the sound is similar to stock in pitch just a little lower but louder, not annoying loud but you know it is there. I like it because I like the stock sound to begin with and this just lowers it a bit and turns the volume up a bit, I would put sound clips but I didn't record the stock so no comparison. The but dyno says there is a difference it spools up quicker and nice pull at top end, no loss of low end torque that I could tell. Fujitsubo claims 7HP increase. Next piece is Y-pipe.

Very nice, Gus! This looks like another quality mod.
BTW, I sure it's just the angle, but those tips don't touch the plastic at all do they? How's the overall fit? Perfect?

It cost 850 from Gruppe-s, great service.
I didn't weigh it but the weight loss claimed is true it is very light compared to stock, even though it is SS and not Ti, I am very happy with it well worth it.

Hmmm...from your photos the exhaust looks more like a brushed alluminum finish than stainless. Do the tips polish up nicely?

Do you know how much thicker the nismo sway bars are compared to the oem swaybars? Cause i was looking at the oem ones on my car and they are huge already, especially the front one.

I love the track wheels, I am not into the aftermarket wheels, but the track wheels I thought were very nice and still kept the Z motif (sp?) going.
