I used to have the Titanium version, which is one of the rarest exhausts around. Literally the best sounding exhaust I've heard, and I've been around for quite a long time. I miss it everyday.

 

Fujitsubo is one of my favorite exhaust despite no Y pipe included with the purchase.
Look stock and the sound isn't too loud. From inside it sounds good at WOT, just perfect imo.

8 post in 3 years and I was stupid enough to expect a reply. Lesson learned.

 

From what i'm reading, this exhaust is quieter than stock.

 

It isn't.

 

I've not seen anything stating otherwise

 

I've heard the ti version. Such a clean and exotic sound. I really want one but with these being blown out for so cheap I may just grab the ss version.

 

I've had one... now I have:

Greddy Spectrum Elite
XYZ Resonated Y-pipe
ART Pipes

No rasp and pretty docile until you gun it... then the heavens open and babies are born.

Fuji Set up: Disclaimer... new neighborhood and no one lived there at the time.

So was that Fuji setup with the ART and XYZ (straight pipe i assume?)

Any other vids of it?

 

Yeah, the tone is definitely a clean and crisp one. The one that I had was a first edition (has the 3 dots on either side of the Z on the muffler, whereas the later versions had a rolled tip and no etching on the muffler), too.

For the price of the SS nowadays, it's definitely a smarter choice financially to go with the SS.

 

Hmm, i know listening to some stock 350 vids that they have a good tone, it's just quiet.

You seem to have a nice sound recording ability there, i don't suppose you have any before vids?

I'm just wondering how much more it sounds like that without the ART and XYZ?

 

That's just the Fuji set up to include the Y-pipe. I never ran the Fuji with the ART pipes... it sounds nice, no drone but it does rasp sometimes. My new set up has NO rasp and just sounds retarded awesome at full throttle.

 

You still running an OEM mid-pipe Flo?

 

For the time being yes.

 

So, the video shows all stock except for Fujitsubo Y pipe, mid pipe and rear muffler?

Why are you running oem mid pipe now with the ART and new muffler?

I'm trying to get an idea of the volume, if you were running all stock, so cats, and just the Fuji back, then that's not bad, ARTs, high flow cat on an XYZ and the fuji mid and muffler would sound louder i assume.

 

Ok to be clear... The Fuji set up did NOT have the XYZ or Art pipes, the Fuji set up was only the Fuji Y-Pipe and cat back exhaust. The vid I posted are ONLY the Fuji set up.


The Greddy is an axle back exhaust so it's just the muffler... I have a Nismo Mid-pipe in my storage that I'm thinking I might put on. Your assumption is correct... The volume will go up with the ART pipes and the XYZ Y-pipe, keep in mind I picked up resonator instead of a cat or straight pipe so my build was a comprise(obviously the cat will be quieter... MD uses a V-Band attachment so they are interchangeable) and not a ***** out racecar. I have a dyno vid and there's absolutely no rasp at WOT or anywhere in between.

 

Great, thanks.

Any vid of the Greddy?

I'm also assuming the Fuji mid pipe wouldn't connect to the greddy muffler? hence the stock mid pipe being used?

Also, FYI, the HFC doesn't cut out as much sound as the resonator for the XYZ pipe attachments. But the resonator can help cut out any remaining rasp that might/may be present.

I really want the MD y-back, but seriously can't afford it, i technically can't afford the Fuji either, but if they accept a low offer, i might, so long as it's worth it. Worth it will be better breathing and an increased exhaust note/volume.

 

I used to have a *full* Fujitsubo system on my Prelude, and i keep forgetting that if you "hack the gibson" on their Japanese site, they have some more interesting details on the exhausts.

So, for the Legalis R on the 350Z:

I had this exhaust on my Nismo with Motordyne's resonated Y-Pipe and ART pipes. With that combo, it was definitely quieter than stock. I removed the resonator from the y-pipe and used a straight pipe, which made it sound about as loud as stock, but there was noticable rasp. Paid $1,100 for the Fuji, without the Y-Pipe.

Please see my thread for pics/vids of this exhaust

EDIT: Also, note that the Fujitsubo Legalis-R came in two models, one for the 03-06 and one for the 07-08. They both fit all years, but the 07-08 is said to be louder. I had the 07-08 model and it was still very quiet.

 

I think the stats i found/posted are for the 07 version.

Interesting you had the exhaust only as loud as stock with the straight pipe, i was going to run this with the HFC (which would be louder than the resonator) but hoping more than stock at least.

I saw your oregon plate, where abouts are you? Doesn't sound like this is a good exhaust for me as i want it a bit louder than stock.
