Sure my butt dyno tells me my F.I. exhaust gave me the same power, but i wanted to splurge a bit and get a nice shiny titanium exhaust. do i expect everybody else to buy it? no. but was it worth it to me?

...ooooh yeah.

ところで、ケンちゃん、そのマフラー。。。気持ち悪いよ

冗談、冗談

looked up some reference points. For the proximity it's almost the equivalent of...

"Boeing 737 or DC-9 aircraft at one nautical mile (6080 ft) before landing . . . 97 dB"

I could say a few things about the money I've tossed away.....is it worth it to everyone? Nope......do I regret spending the money? Nope! I'd do it all over again.....abet a little bit smarter.

Obviously...you haven't learned a damn thing in life!

thanks phelan.

97dB is twice louder than 94dB. 3dB = ~2x SPL.

so the fujimura is not very loud. it is quite loud vs stock but not deep so it doesnt seem as loud as most catbacks are.

I like this exhaust setup; smart way to get around state inspections just for its ease of installation.

確かになんかやばそうな名前しているよねえ。。。どっからこんな名前考え出したのか知らんけれどまあ、マフラーそのもののサウンドはいいよ～！

本当にそうですよね。。。日本人の考え方、まったく分からないですね！
できたら、アミューズとこのマフラー、どっちの方が買いたいか？

kenchan · 03-08-2011, 01:02 PM

lol

一体何だ？

そうそう、バブルはじける前の日本しかよく分からんですなあ。今の日本人わけ分からん。

今回なぜマフラーのみにしたかというと下のトルクをなくしたくなかったのと音の面であんまり深くしたくなかった。　

本心あんまりzは弄らないで乗りたくってね。　今までの車は結構弄ってきたのでそろそろ
弄り疲れたというか。　一つ何か弄るとまた何か弄らないといけなくなるでしょ。それが
面倒でねえ。　限られた時間しか無いし。　

ノーマルでg35cみたいな音してくれたら弄らないで済むんだけど。

To be fair, people can go on about value for money and how the fujimura is 'just 2 pipes' but is it? It depends what you're after. I specifically only want to alter the sound and i'm not bothered about increasing perfomormance because that would alter my insurance massively for the worse.

I want more volume and depth and I think the washer mod is a bit 'pikey'. AAM S-line short tail acts as a muffler delete and by the sounds of the reviews on here it seems like it would be too loud and is in need of a slight muffling... and this leaves you into looking at the Fujimura. How is it different in complexity to any other axle-back?? Akrapovic do an axle-back (albeit titanium) but that is outrageously more expensive.
The fujimura looks absolutely class IMO - it's larger tailpipes and slanted angle and retains the stock image to a certain degree in my opinion blue burnt thin-cut tips look strange on a car like the Z.
In my mind if changing the axle-back part alters the sound and it's the sound you want is it not ok to pay $900 dollars for it as you just don't need a catback at $1400+?. There's no point spending more if you don't need more. Also importing an exhaust that weighs less and costs less incurs less tax, import duty and less in shipping so to anyone who lives on this side of the Pond it is massively cheaper!
The only problem is from vids it's very hard to see if it is the sound you want.

Kenchan has been known to make house calls, for sound purposes, but you're across pond and he hasn't installed his water wings yet.

I agree with you on the exhaust washer trick. Plus, the exhaust will eventually coat the rear undercarriage with the same soot that the edges of the exhaust tips suffer from.

i dont now why Megan hasn't jumped on the axlebacks for our cars. i think those taiwanese folks can make a similar product for around $350-450. probably wont sound the same (most of their exhaust sounds like arospeed cheezeball mufflers) but at least it would be an alternative for someone that just wants more sound and has no money.

btw the Fujimura's exhaust tips are quite a bit bigger than stock. they look great.
