Default Which intakes are best with the Fujitsubo Legalis R?

Now that I've decided to go with the Fujitsubo Legalis R exhausts after falling in love with the sound it makes... deep, full, aggressive -

the one in the first video is a Super Ti, not the legalis R, big difference in price and sound (that one sounds way better)


but as for your question, any intake would work with it since they are all pretty much the same

I had an Injen intake then switched to a JWT pop charger. This combo sounds the best IMO. GL!

Yeah, you're right. I misread his post.
Do you know if there is a source I can refer to to compare the stainless steel one (Legalis R) with the Ti one?

Not sure if this helps at all, but my car is the black Z you linked above taking off from rest. At the time of that video I had the stock intake, now I have the popcharger installed. I also had the JIC y-pipe then and still have it (instead of the fujitsubo y-pipe). Here is a video I did recently from inside the car, fujitsubo legalis-R stainless w/ JIC y-pipe and JWT popcharger - sound is kinda washed out but maybe it gives you an idea of the type of sound to expect ?

http://media.putfile.com/Fujitsubo--Popcharger


EDIT - For a while I had the stock airbox with K&N drop-in filter and that might have been my favorite combination yet. To me, the popcharger makes more sound at the front of the car and detracts a bit from the nice sound of the fujitsubo, but the K&N filter did seem to growl just a bit more than the OEM paper filter so I liked that aspect, but it didn't steal the exhaust's thunder.

Next week I will have the MREV2 manifold and 5/16" spacer installed so if I think to I will post back and let you know if that changes the sound any further.

I have the Fujitusbo Y-pipe and Legalis-R exhaust with an HKS RS intake. I like this combination.

Yeah don't get the Fujitsubo Titanium mixed up with the Legalis R.

Two different exhausts based on price AND sound. (ZO4 is right the Titanium one sounds wicked but it's pricey)

The regular Legalis R sounds just like the Nismo, from what I heard. On top of that, it does not include a y-pipe (the Nismo does).

FYI, the guy at Z1auto I forget his name but he has the 300whp NA engine and he has the titanium one and it sounds really nice.

Correct the fujitsubo y-pipe costs something like $400 on top of the already steep ~$900 for the midpipe and rear muffler.

The Fujitsubo is slightly different and has better looking tips.

Ugh, that is completely subjective.

IMO, the Nismo has way better exhaust tips.

I have heard both, side by side..
The nismo has more of a "tuned" exhaust note, while the fujitsubo is more "raw".

Yeah, I am considering the K&N drop-in filters.
What is stopping me, however, is that they cost about $120 for 2 of them, and on top of that, I would have to get the cleaner as well!

Anyone found the best place to get them?
