thanks for the review..I was going to get this exhaust but my hp goal is 500whp so I have no choice but to stick with my Greddy Ti and just slap on a silencer on long trips. At $530 the RM01A was very tempting

I have the HKS High power. I paid 499 with shipping from the now defunc BOOST SOLUTIONS. I love it! Fits perfectly, no bending stretching nothing. Out idle you cant here it. WOT you can here it coming a mile away (no cat). Looks great top dollar looking. I have no regrets. I am looking into the greddy SP for my next exhaust. I dont like cheesy looking exhausts. My friend Has a, dont know the name on his STI, it looks like a soda can is hanging off his his bumper.

Thats what I am talking about. There are not that many Dudes like us Around. Every time Im cleaning my car my wife says, You love that car more than me. Or I would ask you to sell the car but I know you would rather sell me first.

My wife is Korean. I tell her, "Honey, this is an Evo, you're just a Kia."

I have HKS hi-power and I'm thinking about to get RM-01 as well because of the same reason as you.
But my question is... can you tell the difference in power? I'm kinda worried about RM-01 might cut some HP off becuase of 2 resonators compare to 1 in HKS.

Mr. Stock, I'm glad you are happy with your Fujitsubo RM-01A exhaust. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Thank you very much.

Is there a performance difference between the two. That's the only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger on this exhaust. I have a HKS exhaust right now.

I didn't notice any power drop whatsoever. So I'd say they're on par with one and other hp wise.

I'm actually in Houma, Louisiana right now. Flew into N. Orleans airport today and didn't get to see much. I'm a photojournalist so I'm out here working on a few stories for a week. The funny part is, Naples may get hit by a tropical storm tomorrow while I'm gone, sigh...PM me with an address(s) to your family and I'll see what I can do. Our coverage is still up in the air. We're headed down to the peninsula tomorrow, Venice, on the tip of the delta. Going by airboat! We may or may not head over to Mississippi. We may try to find an 84-year-old Red Cross volunteer from Naples who's in Biloxi.

I really appreciate you offer, but we've already got a U-Haul almost full of goodies that we'll be driving down there within the week or so.

I was just wondering if you yourself had family there.

3000RPM in your driveway and 3000RPM on the highway sound different, no?
So how am I going to do that on the street/freeway?? Do you want me to hang out from the rear of the car on roller blades, hold the camera next to the exhaust while someone else is driving. You make no sense at all. All of the sound clips that I have seen/heard ar at idle, free revs, or a certain rpm.
