Talking Yet another exhaust for us and a dyno sheet~!

So here is another KB1 exhaust that we can get for you guys - The new fujitsubo legalis elegant.

What's really nice about this piece is it is actually quieter than stock (a full 2db!). So for those of you who like silence this is for you (eg Mike ). Even the tips are like stock - oval shaped.

What's even more amazing is that despite being quieter it produces a nice gain in power. Fujitsubo is a very high end Japanese company and there attention to detail really shows.



This exhaust is only available in Japan, so s/h will be a bit high if you ask me for a quote .


They provide us with a dyno sheet, shown below -



Once we do the conversion, it shows a peak gain of 5.4hp (I converted kw to hp to make it easier for us). What's also nice to see is that torque is up all across the board.

Awesome info Touge. Thanks. I've learned a lot about Mods from reading your posts.

Sounds too good to be true, but I guess the numbers don't lie. Now that peaks my interest, more power while remaining "stealthy"!

This is good to hear. My wife is not too crazy about the exhaust and CAI mods, since we drive the car about equally. She takes far more long trips in it than I do preferring the RL to her Sienna (imagine that!) It sounds like there may be a chance to do something now.

It's definitely good to have options. That's a nice looking exhaust too. Silent but deadly...

I'll think about this one when my ears are tired of the 5zigen. I'm still grinning ear to ear when I hear that roar.

Heck, I'd even be interested in it... no fart cans, and a HP gain?

Yep if I didn't know better from a distance I'd think it was oem. If you guys need a price pm me, I have the lowest price

Here is a pic of the actual exhaust -

Sam, this is the exhaust for me. I've PM'd you about the 5Zigen, but after really studying the pics and vids it's just not for me.

PM sent....hopefully, it's not too awfully expensive!

It's priced like the mugen exhaust (~2k), so not the most expensive (ie amuse, ~4k), but not on the same level as 5zigen or Tanabe. They sent me a angle pic, I really like the stealth factor myself.
