Default Fujitsubo Legalis R Installed

Well, I finally got my Fujitsubo exhaust installed and I can say that I am very pleased with not only the quality of product, but the exhaust note is just pleasant. This setup consist of 3 inch piping and a massive 4 inch tip. The total exhaust it self weighs in at 50lbs. I have taken it through its paces today and I sounds perfect and I am glad I got this over the tanabe.

Nice dude. This is the exhaust I want to get for my 300 as well. I got to hear a sample on a swapped GS last week and it sounds pretty quite inside the cabin, a good thing for me. Did you have any problems bolting it up to the factory pipes?

Why do you need a 3inch exhaust on a non turbo car.

No issues at all bolting it up as the old system came out with great ease as well. I purchased it through driveline motoring. As for the exhaust, if you look on the Japanese website. They have these fitted to the 2JZ-GE and 2JZ-GTE and are tuned to maximize what is available. It is not a NA or Turbo specific exhaust and considering it has improved the power band I have no complaints.

I had a local dealer provide it for me. A lot of Japanese companies have pulled out of the United States due to lack of interest, economic situation and natural disasters in a effort to consolidate assets.

I would imagine you will now have to get it directly from Japan, or find a dealer in the US.

Eric Vogel at Driveline is the man. He can get some very hard to find parts. He helped me build my last car.

Beat me to the posting.. That is where I got my exhaust from and a wickedly good deal. Eric Vogel is a great person to deal with and I will deal with him down the road again.

Just got off the phone with eric.....the exhaust you purchased and the one he has is the Legalis R. This exhaust is the 60mm pipes into the big tips. This is NOT the 3" exhaust. The 3" exhaust is the Legalis Super R. Eric does not have that one. I wish he did........regardless.....I will probably still get the same one you have. It's just not as good and the Super R due to me pending swap. Nice stuff none the less!

It isn't' loud in the car at all. If you roll down all your windows you will hear more of the exhaust note which is still subtle. Then again anything now is to me since I had a pretty loud near race prepped NA car prior to this.

Vanquish, thanks for the clarity.. Sorry for any confusion

Would this exhaust fit on 2001 GS430?
