The Fujitsubo exhaust is selling for $925 and Y pipe for $508
I bought my full set up from Intense Motorsports
I cannot make a comparison, but I will say that the I am happy with my purchase. Also, the Fuji sounds really nice and is lighter in weight to the stock system. More important, retains the nice stock exhaust note but with a slighter louder and deeper tone at idle. It is definitely louder (more aggressive) than stock when you get on the throttle. Craftmanship is superb. I literally have people pull up behind me and turn their heads side ways to get a better look at my nicely polished exhaust system. One more thing, the exhaust tip openings are large, (I was first worried that this would negatively distract from a nicely put together rear end) but it flows nicely with the overall setup on an already nice looking car.
**Keep in mind, the reasonator is a pretty good size that will sit below the point of the former OEM system. This will be a factor when it come to determining how low to drop the G (or if you already have yours dropped). I want to drop her, but will have to do my homework to figure out the best suspension setup without the chance of tearing up my underside. I do not want to worry about the resonator getting banged up.

wow, thanks for the review on it as well.......im porlly gonna look into getting it.
Could you notice any difference in performance when you installed it, and when you did the install did you put anything else on with it, like an intake or headers or anything? im trying to figure out what to expect, from nothing at all, to very minimal, to oh yeah i can definately tell a difference in acceleration
I am not saying the Fujitsubo will provide the greatest gains compared to other systems, but overall performance based on sound quality (free of rasp, backfire, or street annoyance), keeping low end loss in check (when going to a more free flowing larger diameter system), noticeable mid range pull, and exhaust craftsmanship (durability) cannot be overlooked.
-I have had the Fujitsubo full setup installed since last summer (no cracks, discoloration, leaks, rasp, or any other problems)
-I do feel noticeable mid range pull (it is noticeable, but for the price of an exhaust system, as with any aftermarket legal catback system (not a significant good bang for the buck option, at least not on the VQ35 revup), more significant power gains would be welcome. Keep in mind, the pipe diameter is larger than stock and there may be some immediate initial loss at the low end. But this, in my opinion, is safer than going to a true duel system on a NA platform (when trying to negotiate a loss of back pressure (low end loss) and optimum maximum output). The good thing about the Fujitsubo is that the system will easily accommodate the choice for going FI (the single pipe diameter is significantly larger than OEM).
-I had originally installed a Pop Charger but have since gone back to stock air box with the z-tube. I felt that my low end may have suffered a little during the summer months with the Pop Charger. I also love the sound of my Fuji with the stock air box and z-tube. I do not know how to describe it, but I love that the Fuji has retained the VQ35 engine note, but in a more deeper and aggressive manner (at WOT).
-I will purchase and install the MotorDyne MREV2 with a 5/16 spacer (best bang for the buck) at the beginning of summer. This is where I will end my engine mods, unless I decide to purchase the UpRev engine management system to optimize my mods (is pricey, but will optimize the ability for all of the mods to work more effectively toward providing overall maximum gains).

+1 on his Fujitsubo comments. I have one too and I do love it. Let me also add that no catback exhaust + Z-tube/Pop charger will give you significant gains. You may feel a slight gain, but for the money, you may be getting 10 more rwhp at most. The MREV will give you better gains than that.
Still, it sounds sooooo much better than stock without being obnoxiously loud. At idle, she's innocuous, open her up and she growls nicely!

I thought the mrev2 was mainly for the revup motors............correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought gains were minimal on the 03' 04' motors..

By the way, I mentioned the MotorDyne MREV2 with a 5/16 spacer in my previous post due to the fact that I own a 2007 6MT G Coupe. It seems that this is the recommended setup for coupes (2005+ 6MT G35 Coupes) with the revup engines.
yeah, my bad....i have an 04' 6mt. is an mrev2 worth it then?
i also have an 04 6mt and to me it's not worth spending 400 for 2-3 hps at most. basically we have the lower collector used in the mrev...but motordyne smoothed out the inside which resulted in slightly better flow.
just ordered the exhaust.......the fujitsubo legalis R for the g35 coupe.....cant wait to get her shipped to me and installed!!!
thanks for everyones help
-I went to a reputable shop and they installed mine for $45 (both Y-Pipe and exhaust).
-Inspect your system to ensure it is not damaged from shipment. I had a bent hanger that had to be readjusted by the shop that installed my system.
-After your kit is installed, look at your tips from behind the vehicle and ensure that they are lined up and centered correctly under the cutouts. Stand over your bumper and look down to ensure that each tip is coming out evenly (if one tip comes out more, which will be obvious, than the other, this may be an indicator of a bent hanger). This is how I initially knew mine was bent before returning to the shop that installed it.
-I keep my rear exhaust cannister and exhaust tips clean. Wipe these portions dry after having washed the car. This will keep the SS looking good. I also use regular car wax to polish my exhaust (rear portion and tips) to enhance the overall look (do this only on a cool system, preferrably after the car has been shut down over night).
-If you car is lowered, be aware of the resonator. Look underneath your car and visually locate the resonator which will be sitting lower than the rest of the system (past the point of the former OEM system).
-You will enjoy the look, performance, and sound. Keep us posted.
