So far so good although I haven't left PC with it. I did do a 2 exit I-4 run last night to see if there was any drone and............ none! This was all top down of course.

The smell is obnixous right now but it is new and needs to be burned in. It give a lower bass tone grumble at idle and thru about 3K RPM then at v-tec she screams but not as loud as the other Invidia models. Actually the tip design is one of the things I really like about the Invidia vs. the Fujitsubo.

I will have to wait until the weekend to run it some more, taking the Sedan on the SC run.

Have you heard the Fujitsubo in person? How does the Invidia compare?

Yes I have, a few locals have them and honestly I almost went that route until I saw this new Invidia on Radiozeros car.

The Invidia has a lower rumble at idle and thru about 3K beyond that they are about the same, at least to my untrained ear. I liked the Invidia tips a little better than the Fujitsubo also.

Blacknot & Zacksdad2 have Fujitsubo they may be able to chime in. Although Blacknot is jealous and his review will be biased.

Congrats to you Barry and Timdonna on your new purchases. They do look nicer than the old invidia tip style IMO too. Enjoy.

It looks great and i'm glad you are happy with it. The one thing i prefer with the fujitsubo os the cans are high polished. I'm a flashy guy what can i say The Invida sounds great and also sells for an excellent price. It's all a matter of preference. I didnt want Barry enjoying an exhaust like i have anyways.

Actually we had to do some minor adjusting to get them centered and level so they matched. If someone rushed thru the install you could get it out of whack. Also if you didn't have the benefit of a lift to make it easier to do. You have to leave the whole area from the Y back loose to make it level and centered then hold each piece in place while tightening down.

I hired it done at a local shop Huff Muffler ($70.00 to remove the OEM, and install the new one.) They took their time (1- 1/2 hours) and did it right, even polished the entire exhaust with a towel before we started it to remove the oil from hand and finger prints. Highly recommend them if anyone is interested.
ahh i see, b/c the pipes slide into one another makes sense that someone could screw that up pretty badly lol.
