Thanks!

 

The Fuji stainless is known as a more quiet exhaust. Is this the case for the Ti as well?

 

I believe it's the exact same design, so they should sound identical. The only difference is that the titanium system is alot lighter.

 

Beautiful exhaust! I wish that model would've been available for me... Thanks for the clarification.... I did consider the "Y" after Wired24/7 mentioned it and I discussed it with a friend of mine. What I'd be concerned about is passing emissions. Another concern I'd have is an increase in cabin resonnance and overall output. I'm kinda on the quiet side, so I'd like to keep my performance exhaust as quiet as possible but at the same time not restrict it too much. What is your take on this?

 

Thanx bro Yes, they cost a pretty penny. It was actually a few hundred dollars more, but I happened to find a vendor that took a loss on it and had it in inventory for over a year. I believe he just wanted to get it off his shelf so he sold it to me at cost....It was a vendor classified add where I found it.

 

Even with high flow cats and y pipe the exhaust is still very very tame. Much quieter than the a stock car with the nismo. Full throttle bursts do sound awesome tho, so dont think it cant bite. There are no emissions issues with any y-pipe. The only place you will run into issues with emissions is on the cat level depending on how strict they enforce those things where you live.

BTY, the SS version and Ti version do have a distinctly different sound. The resonance on the Ti sounds more exotic and unique. The SS however does sound quite good as well.

 

thank you. I appreciate the good info...

 

I <3 the Fuji TI. Congrats on the purchase!

 

is it me or do all the pics looks liek the right is higher than the left?

but anyways nice exhaust.. i am poor so i picked up the stainless steel one.. still looks great.. for some reason some co=workers of mine thinks that it destroyed the looks of the car because of the tips being so damn big.

i think it fits the car pretty good.. a little big? yes i would say but still fits the bulky car.

your rear bumper looks sharp.. my rear looks all hazy some paint shop guy told me that the dealer probably repainted the rear and of course did'nt do a very good job with it.. =(

 

Yes the right is higher . . .I can for sure tell when I am cleaning the tips as my hand doent fit between the right but it does the left. Its off by a small margin. I could fix it by heating the right hanger and bending it, but never have.

You are right the tips are huge when the exhaust is off the car, once you put it on, it really fits with the car and the bumper. And about the bumper . . .that one was new with a fresh coat of paint. I had been nudged 3 or 4 times and the old one needed to be replaced.

 

Now that you mention it, you are correct. The Ti does have a distinctively different sound. I listed to two sound clips over and over. The Ti has a rumbling/crackling sound once you let off the accelerator at the end of a high rev. It sounds similar, but not as throaty, to a mustang with an aftermarket exhaust.

 

that is why sound clips are largely a waste of time. I've had both the stainless and ti ones on my own car - they sounded not distinctively different at all. The stainless was a tad deeper, the ti a tad more "exotic" if you will, but both were nearly the same overall. Both were mated to the same Ultimate Racing Y pipe and Ultimate Racing cats.

My car has no crackling, no rumbling or any sort - just very mellow

 

Well all I know is that on another car with the same exact exhaust mods I have there was a distinct difference as we did several in and out of car comparisons, but every car is a little differnet too. The popping and crackling is not the exhaust but more the cats in any of my videos. I had gutted cats for a while and the off throttle popping was more pronounced and not a well formed sound IMO, thus I went back to normal high flow.

I still say the Ti has a different sound, but I guess it doent really matter.

 

Sound clips are worthless unless the car is under load (driving around).... stand-still revving never sounds correct, or as good.

Also you get that popping sound a lot, with any exhaust (Even stock) if you rev while standing still.

I think it's unburned hydrocarbons burning off in the exhaust pipe or something?

 

Funny that you mention this. We have a heavily modded STI on my team. When she's driving, from time to time her exhaust will let out a cool little flame. It looks cool at night

 

HOLY HELL VAL!!!! Congrats!

That thing cost more than my 3" exhaust! Hope it fits better!

 

That flame is FAR from little coming out of the Scoob. LOL!

 

VandyZ, on a side note, the Z you have on your hatch in place of the Nissan burger... where did you get it?

 

I was being modest..Hehehe

Thanks George! I found it on a year old vendor classified @ Injected. It's gonna be sweet! Should come in Monday/Tuesday. I'll probably install it at my uncle's house. He has a lift. That-a-way we can stand under the car. The car will be down for about a week after that though. Jason from Prestige Motorsports is painting my engine cover & battery covers. Atlas plating is going to polish my plenum while I have everything disassembled. Hey, are you making out to HIN?

 

No HIN for me. The car is going under the knife once again. It won't be ready in time.
