Question Exhaust

Hey guys,

I am tossing up between a NAMELESS axle-back exhaust and a FUJITSUBO cat-back exhaust. Which of the two do you think is better value for money? The NAMELESS exhaust is only $550, while the FUJITSUBO is $1850. I know the FUJITSUBO is made in Japan, but is it really worth 3x the price? Also, I know the FUJITSUBO will give a small power gain, whereas the NAMELESS won't.

Also, I know you can generally get away with a cat-back exhaust, but will an axle-back exhaust run into issues with warranty?

Hey man,

On the Nameless Peformance website in the US. Obviously there will be import tax and shipping on that, but still $1000 or whatever is still pretty good.

Ther shouldn't be import tax if it's under 1000 shipped (unless something changed recently)
Also wrt warranty, if a cat back won't affect it, a axle back shouldn't at all then.
How are you sure that the NAMELESS won't give any improvements? If not, is it at least lighter than stock? If not then what is the point? Sound?

Edit
Just had a look at their site and the exhaust in question
Seems awesome an a VERY good deal!

under $1000 should be no duty so just item + shipping.

another option Perrin catback is $1000 from Car Mods Australia locally.

Cheers man! How much did you pay for a cat-back?

Do you think headers and a high-flow cat will help deepen the tone?

$999.95. same price for with/without resonator. their shipping cost is pretty good too.

they don't have stock yet. it's being sea freight at the moment.

i am planning to get their over pipe and front pipe when they are available. maybe their intake and tune too if i decide to stick to NA.
