Fujitsubo is very similar in design to the JIC - slightly thicker gauge stainless
Both are 2.3 inch tubes with 3 inch collectors

Fujitsubo is a "higher end" brand, and as such, has a premium price associated with it

they work exactly the same - the difference in how they are made has no effect on the actual performance they net

The Fujitsubo and NISMO y pipes are identical. The JIC and Tanabe y pipes will give you a slightly better flow due to less bends. I recently switched from a NISMO to a JIC on my NISMO exhaust and felt a slight improvement.

FWIW, the JIC is listed on the 350ztech forum with an 80mm diameter and most others show 76mm. I'm wondering if I.D. figures are getting mixed with O.D.? Z-1 stated they were the same. Can you confirm?
I thought the JIC was bigger and matched up with the JIC exhaust whish is also listed as 80mm. Any clarification would be helpful.

I have yet to a see a non-company dyno of a y-pipe. Anyone have a plot? I hear about lots of butt dyno, but I don't see the real data. The guys at G35driver say their y-pipes caused a loss of power below 5000rpms.

I would doubt you'll find much about this info - exhaust mods are cumulative on these cars, there is no magic single part. As such, people tend to do the exhaust mods as a whole, then dyno and tune

yup i was afraid of those bolt on mods that will lower your hp/trq than help it... but exhaust bolt-ons may lower your power in da low end and gives you more toward da higher rpm.. good for racing but not really daily driving especially during rush hr in the big cities... "it shoudn't bother though..'
