Hi, I'm currently trying to decide which exhaust system is better for my '01 GS300, my options are between HKS exhaust system, Tanabe hyper medallion or A'PEXi World Sport cat back exhaust.
what do you think about the sound? the ground clearance, and the increased performance among the 3 ?? can you give me some explanations on those 3 ? or if you have any other better brand in mind ?.... i'm having a real hard time to decide .... by the way I'm looking for one with a loud, deep tone throaty sound...

Thanks a lot
Kevin

Have you considered the Fujitsubo Legalis R? I just dyno'd one on a 350Z and it was very impressive and very quiet which is nice. Quality was superb. I think I'm ordering one for myself soon.

RAristo

I would be interested if somebody could import the Fujitsubo. That is my dream setup.

racdyn

I like the Legalis R, but i have never seen any fujitsubo in US, so I'm not sure if I can find it here,
so at the moment my options are still those 3, aniway thanks for the suggestion

HKS all the way. I have that set up on my GS300 for 2 months now and it's the best I have so far. Better then Blitz NA and Borla. Sound level is about the same level as the Borla.

racdyn

really ?? that's cool thanks i'm thinking about HKS as well, what about the ground clearance ?? it doesn't drag the road right ?? that's my final concern, after this i'm gonna make up my mind ..... =)

cong28

There is no concern for dragging. Sits way up there. A lot lighter then the stock ones and it's very easy to install. Took me 45 minutes to lift up the car, removed both exhaust and replace them with the new the HKS system. My car is pretty low and I haven't scratch anything on my rear end, just my front bumper.

I had the APEXi recently installed and I love it.



You can see from the picture I have the OEM 17s (FTTB), and am lowered by LTuned. I don't scrape. The profile reminds me of a GReddy setup, being ablke to see the canisters slightly; perhaps like the new EVO.

Sound, I can't help you - I have a 4.

racdyn

thank you very much i'm getting the HKS finally ..... i'll be sure to post the picture when everything's done ... =)

RAristo

cong28,

Thought you were getting Greddy PE?

cong28

I was but they stop making those so I went with the HKS. Thank goodness I went with the HKS because the sound level was exactly how I wanted.

RAristo

I am glad you like your HKS. Does it mean you don't mind me dropping by to check it out?

cong28

I don't mind at all, just give me a holla!!!

Guru

I can order in the Fujitsubo no problem. In fact I may order one in for myself soon. That 350Z unit really impressed me a great deal. Beautiful exhaust.

Kevin...between those three, i would say the HKS or the tanabe....

or like guru said, the Fujitsubo New..Legalis R..

Guru, few months ago i send a legalis R for my buddy's GS who live down under. that exhaust is great(only drawback for my taste is the tips are tad small at 101.6mm), everyone of the fujis is hand made, and the weld line/point are sooo minimal.... the 350Z one that is from their titanium line is top notch...btw, have you seen the new Blitz Realize TT or TT-R spec?.very quiet too
