Haha, you mainland guys are so lucky.......paying $615 for this exhaust shipped to you folks. I guess maybe the one and only advantage of being across the ocean from Tein CA is that this stuff needs to hop on a plane to get here to Hawaii. Well, it's usually faster to fly than drive which is why I guess I got mine so quick. I ordered mine yesterday morning and look what showed up on my work place 5 minutes ago. Just awesome! Granted, I paid significantly more to ship since I'm in Hawaii, but oh wells. I'm at work right now, but I'll open up the box in a little bit and post up some pics.

Couple pics out of the box. I'd love to say that I would post installed pics for you, but the way my build is progressing, I'm sure somebody else will have theirs installed long before mine. Car is painted and buffed, just awaiting reassembly. Painted LS brakes, rotors/pads, new roof spoiler, visors, TTE lip, and now Fujitsubo Legalis-R exhaust, all on stand by. Hopefully next week will be the week

Until it is gone.. The reason why this formally over 1k exhausts are going for so cheap is due to a lot of factors.
- US market isn't as strong for aftermarket parts from JDM suppliers
- JDM companies are pulling out of North America as in the case with Fujitsubo and have thus asked all partners to liquidate stock
- Japan had its fair share of economic upsets i.e. earthquake, nuclear disaster
My suggestions is to purchase one if you want it, otherwise you'll end up having to have it imported into the US at a much higher price.

my shop charged me $85 bucks to put it on, he said it was one of the easiest and best fitting exhausts hes ever worked on...he almost crapped his pants when I told him how much I paid for it. As for the sound, I couldnt really ask for anything better, makes a nice purr at start up, quite inside the car, quiet driving, and makes a little noise when you step on it...shines like crazy!! If youre not looking for horsepower or loud, just clean look and sound..its definately recommended!!

Are you saying the same kt will fit my '01 GS430?
I looked at their website and is doesn't specify a 430
is this the correct part number? FJ 160-26322
as I'd love to hear this 430 sing.
