Default Need help installing exhaust...

hey guys, so i finally got delivery of my Fujitsubo Legalis R exhaust!!

and was wondering if any of you guys would be interested in helping me install it .. or recommend a good place to get it installed.

ive heard that its easy, but i dont have the tools required to change the exhaust, so i might as well pay for it.



edit:: here are some pics of the exhaust installed... it took me 3 trips to get the exhaust installed lol.

first trip - dropping off the fujitsubo at the exhaust shop in the corolla


go back home and pick the S2K and back to the exhaust shop to install it.


go for a spirited drive then back in the corolla to pick up the OEM exhaust... just fit!


then a quick snap on my driveway... the celica is my sisters car hehe.


so ive driven probably over 100kms with the exhaust and i am very happy with it.

it has a deep growl when you start the engine, and has deep bassy sound when your on the accelerator.

once you go WOT and hit vtec it sounds awesome .. and cruising from 3k - 4k there is no drone at all .. sounds just like stock.

performance wise, the butt dyno says
from what i can tell, there is more low to mid torque as it pulls harder than stock... will have to wait till i dyno my car again to get a definite number on my gains.

all in all the fujitsubo is a great exhaust.. great quality, great looks and great sound.
perfect as a daily driver.

I have changed mine, to amuse and then back to stock.

The cat bolts are the hardest to remove. I could helped you out. I want to hear the fujitsubo anyway.

Let me know.

thanks MAD .. il take you up on that offer if its easy to get the other little parts ..

im missing those minor parts because its 2nd hand .. or maybe they fell out of the box during transit.

might look into TOPONE.

edit:: .. just found this thread https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?s=&sh...light=fujitsubo
which shows the mounting hardware .. i do have those parts, so i guess i have a complete set.

I've had OEM -> Invidia -> OEM -> Invidia -> Cat -> Test Pipe -> and soon to be Cat again. LOL.

Its rather easy to install. Spend $50 on a set of car ramps from Autobarn, reverse the car up on them, and unbolt the exhaust.

Midas in my area charged my mate $20 to chance his r32 catback, and the bolt was rusted and broke so he had to remove it as well..
$150 for an exhaust an exhaust swap is ridiculous.
