I can just slide it over but not all the way back so they stick out a bit more. With doing this, I dont have to take it to the exhaust shop to reweld and extend tips to fix the sunken in look aftermarket bumpers give.

Ill let you guys know after I have it installed how it sounds.

When doing my research about this exhaust company I found a $300 header system by OBX. It seems to come with header and downpipe if im correct. Its on ebay right now. Anyone here of this? Is it worth it?

Cause with saving money on this exhaust I may get the header system also.
awesome bro, i hope it works out ok quality and sound wise, def gonna need some reviews once installed

I guess its better than paying 600 for the actual tanabe one. Then again I went straight pipe + muffler and spent about 130 bucks... sounds dirty tho

Dang. those are deals. The cheapest I found was amazon for $144 shipped each.

Your making me think I should out went the magnaflow route after seeing these prices.

I have a magnaflow on my daily driver, so maybe its better for something new.

Also magnaflow will be $220 plus about $100 (50 per muffler at least for straight weld no flanges) for installation. $320 total. I email him and since Im gonna give him videos and sound clips. He gave me the tinanium tip set for $350 and I install myself.

i do like those burn tip ones , but an extra 100.00 for that ? I can't agree with that jus because its titanium. someone buy these and test em out.

I have had fujitsubo legalis R on my car for 3 years. It looks stock and is very quiet. The 3 month wait was worth it

I noticed the prices dropped even more. Its $269 shipped for regular system. $360 for titanium.

WOW. If I knew this I would of waited and got the regular one for $269, rather then getting the titanium tips.

$300 is nothing to what I paid for my Borlas, even used they sell for above $300
