Default 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?

Thanks, no they don't touch, they are about 1/4 to 1/2 ich from it. Nice fit went on without any surprises at all. Below is a shot more straight on, the guy in the shot is my friend, who helped me put the exhaust and swaybars on.

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.

Nice! $850 for both the exhaust and Y-pipe? That's an awesome price if so.

How much for the sways?

Sorry for misunderstanding, it was 850.oo just for exhaust.

I am waiting on y-pipe next.

Sways were 550.00 shipped also from gruppe-s.

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

They do look more like brushed aluminum and I prefer that to the chrome look on the stock tips and the black muffler, I haven't tried to clean/polish them so I don't know but it shouldn't be a problem.

Inside diameter is around 4 1/14" I love it, I thought the stock were big but these make them look small, and yet not coffee can look.

Do you have a rear angle shot? I want to see them from an angle... please!

BTW, how do you like your track wheels?

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 would be happy to but not sure what angle you are talking about.

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.
