Review of Fujitsubo RM-01A exhaust!
I just got my Fujitsubo RM-01A EK9 exhaust on today and just wanted to show some pics and give my $.02. I got the exhaust from SKR Performance in Delran, NJ (the shop with the yellow Top Secret Supra). They seem to be one of the few shops on the east coast with some good JDM accounts. Just to let everyone know they have one RM-01A in stock for the EG hatch.
The exhaust is TOP quality, stainless steel 60.5mm piping. Sound is very good, deeper and quieter then my 5Zigen Fireball. Fitment was excellent but due to my B16a2 with JDM ITR header, my test pipe needed about 6 inches cut off to fit. It may even need another inch or so to get the fit perfect.
Well here is a link and some photos. enjoy!

Damn man that really looks nice. Looks like the tip hits the bumper though, hope it doesn't melt it. I have an EG currently running the N1 catback, looking for something different. Do you know if the piping runs over or under the Rear LCAs on the eg model and how much is it?

Exhaust is tight, your car is sick. My friend just got a set of bronze 5zigen Beckets for his EG, very nice. The piping looks like it's pretty big, 60.5 is how many inches?

Jesus Christ that is a beautiful car. Certainly a unique exhaust you have there--big exclusivity points. Wheels are as well.

Very very nice; I saw that exhaust in Japan - the B-pipe is beautifully finished, plus it is super lightweight
BTW, you should get one of these adjustable rubber hangers; I had the same problem with my Mugen twinloop after bolting on a test pipe.

That adjustable exhaust hanger will allow you to reposition that tip a little lower

WOW that EK looks super-nice
ultra-rare-monsta-points-oooooOOOO-yah!!! and the quality and fit looks excellent!
Yes you better get the tip off of that bumper paint asap, otherwise it will burn the paint, and melt it onto your tip, that sucks, ask me how I know
-->to all who asked, 60.5mm = 2.38 inches
(if you are given mm, then divide that by 25.4 to get inches)

Yeah, I'll try to lower the muffler tomorrow. The exhaust cost me $650 installed. Thanks for all the feedback!
