**Sold** 350Z Fujitsubo Titanium exhaust and Cobra SS Y-Pipe

Next up in the garage clearance is my rather rare exhaust system. I bought the Titanium system last year and got it repaired by a local metal shop. The exhaust works as expected, looks great, weighs nothing and will earn you cool points!!...seriously, don't bother with stripping your interior to save weight....buy this :)

 

The Fujitsubo back box and mid pipe and full titanium, the weight of these items are comical! super lightweight!! I'm struggling to find full specs online but I did find a web page some time ago that listed this item at well over $2000 USD new! The Ti Fujitsubo is the system that comes with the Z etched into the back box.

 

When I bought the exhaust one exhaust hanger mount was missing from the back box, the box itself had a dent in the top and the pipe into the back box was slightly bent. The exhaust bracket has been replaced with a stainless steel custom build to match the Ti mount on the other side, and it looks fabulous. I have had all this repaired and is now working fine, the dent is still in the box but cannot be seen when fitted to the car (even with a bumper tuck). Whilst in the shop being repaired the guy flamed the tips of the exhaust so they have a blue tint to them too :)

When I fitted the Cobra Y pipe the join to the Ti system was blowing slightly so I took it to another local shop to see what the problem was, they told me they have to slightly adjust the Cobra join to the mid pipe to get a better fit....however now it is off the car is looks just like it did the day I bought it. So I think they told me some lies and maybe just fitted a new gasket.

 

So to sum up -

- Fujitusbo full titanium back box and mid pipe

- Super light weight

- All damage repaired and not visible when fitted

- Nice sounding system, quiet on idle but livens up when you give it some loud pedal

- Cobra Y pipe way less than 12 months old

- Y pipe has some wear to one of the flexi's due to being lowered, but still works fine

- Back box and mid pipe have some scratches, again from being low.

 

I am looking for £500 collected for the whole lot. Which given the rarity of the Titanium system I feel is a good price. I am based near Bournemouth, very near to the 'Zed Shed'.

Few pictures when fitted, not the best pic but you can see the lovely etching on the back box, and see that the dent it nowhere near visible :)

you got a close up of the damage / dent to the back box?

 

Hi Steve, I was in the garage this morning so snapped these before heading to work. The pics make this looks bigger/worse than it is so I tried to add some scale with the tape measure. Originally this was just a dent in the box, the guy who did the new exhaust hanger attempted to remove the dent by welding a rod onto the dent, pulling it out, then remove the weld marks. This kind of worked, but still left the marks you can see in the picture. I was a little miffed at first, but when fitted to the car you cannot see any of this so all was well in the end. First pic is the dent when I first bought the system, second two I took this morning.

Also, for reference, this system eaaaasily fits inside a Z. This is my mate Matt when we picked up my Fujitsubo system, along with Busters Japspeed. Plenty of room :lol:
