It would be rare to see a vendor actually keep that in stock. I know Adam @ Z1Auto had some Fujitsubo Downpipes in stock, so try him first. If not, maybe BPAuto might have it. I hear that the RM-01A is usually an order item.

Hope that helps.

I e-mailed Bulletproof Automotive last week to see what exhausts they had in stock, and this was one of them. They said they had 1 left. This was last Tuesday or Wednesday, so it may be gone. Give Bulletproof a call.

That sounds about right to me. Those things aren't easy to find. Shipping is always a mother on exhausts too....

They say that exhaust is the quietest of all the aftermarket ones to...and it gives you good gains over the stocker system. Its a good choice

I ordered mine with the group buy Street Image had in August. They did a direct order for me since not too many jumped on the group buy.

I think it should be coming in any day now - we all know how long it takes for JDM parts directly from japan (eternity).

I'm looking forward to see how quiet this exhaust is. For now all Street Image and I can do is wait..but once its done, I'll try to post a review

I heard that this exhaust doesn't come with the o2 bung, therefore you have to drill and make a o2 bung for the o2 sensor. Is it correct?

turbo4g63 - that is correct. However, what a number of our customers did when buying JDM exhausts (especially titanium ones where it's not really feasible to "weld" in a rear 02 bung, since Ti is so difficult to weld to), was buy the Ultimate racing test pipe - this eliminated the need for welding the rear bung and will flow much better than the stock cat. Plus, the RM01A, along with all of the Fujitsubo exhausts, are among the quiest ones on the market for these cars. Even with the test pipe and a downpipe, the sound is very mellow compared with many other exhausts out there

How would the Greddy EVO2 compare to the Fujitsubo RM-01A in sound level??

After putting the RM-0A1 on my EVO is was pretty much the same as stock, even after taking the Cat out with a 3" down pipe it's still super quiet. Idling it sounds deep , then as you roll into it the quieter it gets. I would recomend it .
