Default Fujitsubo RM-01

Curious to who is currently running this exhaust... ive heard a few things of this nice piece before, but search is down. Because of a few gripes with the new T1R exhaust, and possibly being a bit too loud for my tastes, im wondering how the Fujitsubo compares? I do a lot of highway driving so im hoping the RM-01 isnt as loud as the T1R for cruising. I also dont see many retailers carrying this exhaust, so is it pretty hard to get in the U.S.? Anyone with comments or opinions, especially pics or sound clips, would be great. Thanks.

Quality is Awesome

Sound is supposed to be Very quite similar to Twin loop (mugen)

If i did not have my setup, I would choose the RM-01

Flux is currently running one. I saw it and heard it at a local meet and it isn't loud at all. If the search didnt suck *** right now you could search under his SN for his review. I guess you could just IM him though.

It's louder than the Twinloop,
but around town it is not loud, nor is it loud on the highway.
It is only loud when you are at WOT, and it sounds awesome upwards of 5800rpm.

It is loud in the cabin, at least to me it is,
and everyone else who drives it says 'it is loud in the cabin'.

Sounds amazing outside the car.
Looks great, welds are perfect, super lightweight.
You can pick up the bpipe and axleback (bolted together) with one hand and spin around without any real strain, except maybe your face muscles from laughing at yourself for doing dumb things like spinning around with an exhaust.

I wouldn't buy another exhaust if I had to. I love it. Made good power too. I think Flux will agree with what I just posted, except for maybe the spinning around part.

No, Fujitsubo is not that hard to get in the US anymore. At least I can help you get one easily.
BTW, I have one RM01A on special now. IM me for more detail.

If you frequently drive witha hangover, this is not the exhaust for you.

I agree

The 'drone' in the cabin is nothing that a little music can't fix.

How did you know about my twirling days, Mike?
Oh that's right, I used to see you at the regional competitions.

I'll be at the expo. You can check mine out then, hear me blast down around the track, drive it around the local streets, but you can't twirl it over your head!!!

How does this exhaust compare in terms of performance to the bottleneck free T1R that just came out?

Well it looks like I will be getting one of these in about 2 weeks.

I will be taking plenty of pics and sound clips for mafay2 as part of the deal. I will post then or direct to his website.

There's no restrictions or bottlenecks.

No fitment problems, no problems whatsoever.

Fits PERFECTLY, sounds perfect, looks perfect, performs very well.
