I've thought about the fujistubo, I like the looks and sound of it, and it matches the 63 mm piping...
I'm pretty sure the fuji exhaust is 60mm. You will at least want a 63mm exhaust so you don't hurt performance, for 63mm I would recommend the T1R 63mm Sparrow but it's no longer made. I really want one myself and see them in the classifieds on here often, but never have the money when they pop up.

If you don't want anything to loud and a dual, you can get the Invidia q300. It's a 70mm so it will flow really well, and it will still flow great with a 63mm collector and test pipe so you will still get most of the performance out of it. If looking for a single I would recommend the HKS 3" hi-power. It is actually a decently quiet exhuast for what it is, and it will give you the best performance for a good price.
That stinks, the fuji sounds nice/looks nice... I think I may be ok with the t1r 70mm, although the 63 would be nice, I'll just see what comes up fs.

I actually had a q300 on my old S and could never get it fitting right. The cannisters were also really unsightly:/ I loved the sound though. HKS is still in the running, I do like singles so they aren't out of the picture..

I have owned a few exhausts. My rankings would be as follows (first being the best sounding, last being the worst)

Greddy SE Dual + HFC
ASM 60mm Single + Test Pipe (too quiet below 5k RPM)
HKS Hi-Power Dual (lots of drone)
Stock

I have a Greddy SE Single on the way. I miss the sound of it.

Ahh I see. Yeah if you don't mind a single look into the HKS 3" and the new Berk 3", both of them are reasonably priced for what they are, and look decent. I actually like the look of the Berk more but not sure about drone and such. Their thread on it is in this section so maybe you should look into that more. Plus those will give you the absolute best gains.

I do really like the Greddy SE but I just don't want to spend to much on an exhaust that is under my car you know, but it is a really nice exhaust and is a 70mm, so if you have the money the SE would be a great exhaust also. It's also cool since you can get a dual or single in it.

With a test pipe the HKS dual has absolutly no drone. I'm picky with my exhausts since I daily my S and drive on the highway a lot, and on the highway at 65 I couldnt even tell I had an aftermarket exhaust at those speeds. I sold mine since I didn't like the look of it with my ap2 rear and it's a 60mm, but it sounded great.

I agree. HKS must be matched with a testpipe, it comes alive with one. Night and day difference.

I agree on the Berk 3 inch, its a great exhaust, i am planning to get one down the road. At the moment, i have a skunk2 and its 70mm, and its an amazing exhaust, i run it with silencers, its pretty quiet around town. any time you decide that WOT is necessary, its got the sound to back it up. but most any exhaust once you get up into the larger diameters will be fine for you, really comes down to how you want it to look and sound

Going from a J's 70rs to a Toda dual. Something alittle different.

Another vote for HKS+testpipe. I switched to an Invidia Q300 because I didn't like how the HKS looked, but the Q300's sound really doesn't compare.

right now, my favorites seem to be Berk 3" single or HKS single... Based partially because the price point for those is very good, and it seems they don't drone or are too loud, without sacrificing flow.
