Default fujitsubo power getter

Is the fujitsubo power getter very quiet? Can you tell it isn't a stock exhaust? Because i want something where you can definately tell from the sound of it that it isn't stock.

umm it'd be pretty obvious it's not stock. it's got a 4" tip and it's chrome.

Fujitsubo exhausts are usually known to be pretty quiet.
It is not the greatest in the power department though, since it is only 60mm OD.
I'd probably recommend you to check out the T1R Power 63 system, it will give more horsies and still not overly loud.

Or if noise is really a concern, T1R has just recently came out with a SPL muffler which is super quiet (even quieter than the Power Getter)!

By no means do i want this to turn into a giant beef over some stupid crap.

But where the hell did u hear that the PG is not one of the greatest in the power department?
Just asking...

yep! I'm getting the T1R SPL muffler with the b-pipe this week. We'll see if it's really this quiet.

We compared two exact same setups. Two DC5's, one with the Fujitsubo Power Getter, one with T1R B-pipe with DC5-R factory muffler.

Setup #1: DC5 Type S
-Type R cams
-Spoon Header (4-2 exhaust manifold, and 2-1 downpipe)
-Fujitsubo Power Getter catback exhaust
-Hondata ECU reflash
-AEM CAI

Setup #2:
-Bone stock Type S engine
-Spoon Race Header (4-2 exhaust manifold, and 2-1 downpipe)
-T1R 63mm B-pipe, with JDM DC5 ITR muffler
-Hondata ECU reflash (exact same reflash as setup#1)
-Factory Air Box

Dyno #2 setup ended up dynoing with 5 more WHP than setup #1. With 2 exact same setups, shouldn't the one with bigger cams be making more power? The only other difference is in the exhaust setup. 60mm vs 63mm.


We've tested out just about all better known setups in the market, just to compare the differences.

Here is a dyno plot comparing the factory Type-S exhaust to the Full T1R System.

Well, i'm looking for something that will give me more hp and an exhaust with a low sound where you can tell its definately not stock. I want it kind of loud too, but not too loud where i'll get pulled over. Is the fujitsubo pg a good choice you think?

The answer is clear and right in front of you; NO the powergetter is not the better choice.

if i remember correctly the inlet to the dc5 jdm muffler is only 54mm od, so for me its surprising that this combo made more power than the power getter. that said i like the dc5 muffler myself because of the trick bypass valve inside

I tried to email them and they did not email me back. I have emailed them a few times regarding a few items and each time I was blown off. I got nothing back. So if possible I'd like to deal with another company.

Are you sure you've sent it to the correct email address?
Because I am sure I check my email and reply all of them the very same day that they appear in my inbox.

That was the point of the comparison, shouldn't be the setup with the R cams make more power? All the power appears to be lost at where the exhaust is (since that is the only other difference between the setups)

The DC5-R muffler was used with a 63mm b-pipe though, the b-pipe can make quite a difference on it's own.

One has R cams and CAI with Power Getter, and it made 5 whp less than car with stock cams and stock intake with T1R b-pipe and stock muffler?

I thought CAI and R cams alone should make around 10whp over stock cams and stock intake. And I have seen dyno of Power Getter make 5-7whp over stock exhaust.

So in order for the 63 mm T1R b-pipe with JDM Type R muffler (set up #2) to make 5 whp more than set up #1 with R cams and CAI, the 63mm T1R b-pipe with JDM Type R muffler need to make 15 whp more than Power Getter. And 20 whp more than stock Type S exhuast???

I am not saying your dyno is not true, but I DON'T THINK by changing to 63mm b-pipe with R muffler will give a 20 whp gain over stock set up, and 15 whp over an aftermarket catback exhaust. I wish it is that easy to make power on a NA car.

May be it has something to do with the ECU reflash?? Since both car are using the same reflash, but one has R cams with CAI, so may be that car need a different ECU reflash?
