Fujitsubo EPU (Exhaust Performance Unit)
 
Looks like Fujitsubo released their complete header/overpipe/front pipe/exhaust combo... not sure if this header/OP/front pipe setup is available separately though.

Front pipe is similar in design to the Apex'i one I've tested before, I think the cost of the system is inflated by the fact that they bundled this with what looks like a stainless steel version of the Authorize RM exhaust (the original RM+c exhaust is full titanium).

4.4k usd, no thanks. That's a SC or TC kit.

If you’re shopping purely on price then this brand is not for you.

Yes the catback is a stainless steel version of the Authorize RM exhaust, but why is the cost inflated? Isn't the stainless version cheaper?

I wonder how well this performs. I basically have HKS Super Exhaust at this point so no need to swap lol.

unsure, there's no actual stainless single exit Authorize RM... so either this is an unique system exclusive for this kit, or there is a new exhaust that we don't know of yet.

Single exit Authorize RM was only available in titanium previously. I'm asking Fujitsubo-san himself, waiting for a reply.

I forgot to add:

based on previous Fujitsubo product pricing, the actual sell price for a complete system will probably be closer to $3000 landed in US.

I am getting more info about this so hopefully there's another quality product offering for users to choose from.

performance won't be much of a surprise, any EL header + front pipe with HFC and normal catback will yield the same performance.

I'm more interested because this is like the Apexi system, large resonator + large cat (almost OE sized). The large cat size will act as an effective resonator, so it may be an awesome front pipe to buy if they can sell it separately for export market.

The cat plus the muffler was the reason I liked the HKS R-spec exhaust. Yeah it's very expensive if you want just the front pipe (like I did), but it keeps the sound down. But I'm sure Fujitsubo will make a quality kit for sure. Plus that JDM-Yo factor haha

He is right, though. It's not for you.

Elitist?

I’m trying to work with Fujitsubo on making parts of this kit available for general public purchase. Thanks for the backhanded compliment, your front pipe was imported to the US because I pushed for it.

The link is a 404. Did this ever go anywhere? I tried a TRD NA exhaust and it had an awful drone. Trying to find something quiet like stock but nicer sound
