Good video.
I also bought this exhaust based on the advice given from this forum and I think it's a great exhaust even though it's pricey. OP - what headers are you looking at? I would love something which is catless UEL which gives rumble but wouldn't be much louder than what it already is. |

I completely understand the term ‘sophisticated’ when describing this exhaust, and because it’s JASMA certified and relatively quiet my hunch is that it would pair very well with a catless header. I have an ACE 4-2-1 Type-A 350 equal length header and I’d really like to hear what it sounds like with this exhaust. If I had to guess, I’d say very good indeed!

We have a parts store here called Canadian Tire which many call "Crappy Tire" because they buy the cheap knockoff stuff they offer. If they bought the quality parts that very same store sells then they wouldn't have the same issue but they still blame the store. There are perfectly valid reasons why some parts cost more than others and this exhaust is an excellent example of that.

I would much rather pay an extra couple of hundred dollars up front for something like a Fujitsubo. OEM materials and techniques, correct fitment, handmade and checked QC, proper testing and R&D with a reputation for quality.
The alternative is saving a couple of hundred bucks for a catback manufactured in China to some measurements they've been sent, never having seen the actual car it's "designed" for, out of the cheapest "stainless" they can buy and sold by the thousands to any webstore/ebay store looking to offload them. This goes for most parts not just exhaust. Sure name brands like TOMs/Gazoo/TRD/HKS etc may have some components manufactured in China. But they are built to a standard for a reason and QC'd before shipping. |

It seems that (strangely) the only header that doesn't make the exhaust louder is the Apex'i EL combo with catted front pipe...

@AceHeader-MT, do you guys have any experience with the results of coupling your header with this exhaust system? I know it's a long shot...

True but if you still have the stock front-pipe I would not worry to much. EL Headers have a much smoother tone vs UEL headers. So I don't think you would get the rasp and harshness people get with other combo's

I would really like to hear a video with Ace A350, Fujitsubo front pipe and Blitz VS catback!

I love this catback and would be all over it if it were compatible with the STI sports muffler. I have even contemplated getting a STI sports muffler and cutting the tips and getting them welded onto this catback but of course that's overly pricey and would create quality issues for ultimately a silly personal preference. Kudos to you for not getting it for 1200. I'm curious what you paid but I'm sure you'd rather not say.
