FUJITSUBO AUTHORIZE R CATBACK

Is anyone running the FUJITSUBO AUTHORIZE R CATBACK? How do you like it compared to stock? How is the quality? Any other feed back would help.

Thank you

It's very quiet and you would feel better if you spent $1600 on coke and blow, because the lack of noise makes you feel like you wasted a bunch of money on something you can't hear...

Fit and finish is second to none. Sound is halfway between stock and TRD (but closer to stock).

Tips are sorta normal looking and nothing fancy. Resonators and muffler aren't excessively large but very effective at sound suppression, it's clear Fujitsubo's expertise is in precision manufacturing and achieving quality results.

I hope to visit their factory in Japan in October, time-permitting.

If you do please send me pics I would love to see it.

Did you see a gain in performance as well ?

I am planning on doing headers as well down the road. When doing the headers do you have to replace the over pipe as well ?

is it les weight than stock ?

That would be perfect for me as I'm getting older and I enjoy reving this car to redline. That and crushing on the highway I don't want to not enjoy my commute. I had an espelir jgt500 cat back on my wrx it was not as loud as some but omg did it get annoying and gave my wife a headache lol. Compared to her s2k that was all wind and engine noise at 8k red line I miss that car.

I reviewed it before. I don't really have any decent sound clips, but this exhaust in the car feels/sounds like stock.

You can find plenty of sound clips: https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...=fujitsubo+brz

I had a Legalis R on my last car, as above I am very impressed with Fujitsubo. Too much £££ for me to spend on this car but would be one of my money no object choices.
