Default .......AND fUJITSUBO headers....[?]

WELP, im thinking of following brand loyality for the remainder of the oem portion of my exhaust, and stumbled across some FUJITSUBO headers....



reason for my desire to stay brand loyal, is the EXCELLENT FIT and finish of the Y pipe and exhaust system , the legalis -R (SS version)

i want Quality headers, that are equal length, and FIT inside the bay without incident (good luck at this point), and find the other components to be as good as stock fitment is....

here's the blurb on the headers....

Fujitsubo Super EX Manifolds

The Fujitsubo Super EX Manifolds are a beautifully crafted exhaust manifold system from world famous exhaust manufacturer Fujitsubo. Fujitsubo is one of the largest exhaust manufacturer's in Japan, and handles the development and manufacturing of many of the OEM sport exhaust, including Nismo. Constructed of stainless steel piping that tapers from 50.8mm to 42.7mm at it's smallest point. Utilizes a 3 to 1 design to maximize power. Peak horsepower gains were recorded at 253.8 whp at 6150 rpm.

I read on one website that they were for RHD cars only. I could be wrong.

The fujitsubo headers are flawless! However, make sure you have the one for the LHD US model. The one from Japan will not fit.

He meant the ones made for Japanese Z's won't fit.

Stupid Intense Motorsports sells the J-spec version to U.S. customers. Go figure.

You should be noted that the Fuji header was designed for maximum mid-end power gain. This is not to say there no gains at the top-end, however. This information is from Fujitsubo's web site in Japanese.

not to jack your post or anything, I was talking to our friends in JP shops and there is a header out there that fits both RHD and LHD Z's.

But I heard this brand is not any of the brand named ones

no.. the Fujitsubo Headers will NOT fit on your car since it is left hand drive...

If you did a right hand drive conversion you would be able to fit their headers on...

when installing the greddy evo2 exhaust on a g35 coupe for example there is a tank that needs to be moved from the left side to the right because it is not found on the JDM RHD G35s...

I was told those are suppose to be LHD only headers. They are suppose to have a warranty guarantee with no cracking from the weld points ever.
