^dude, read the FAQ.

And most people on here tend to like Racing Beat and Borla.

I'm partial to Racing Beat. Have the full system on my car and I love it. nice and quiet cruising around town, stomp on it and she opens right up.

Can't really guide you anywhere with intakes, I heard Apex'i makes a decent one, but I duno if it's for NA or TII. I made mine.

deep and throaty go with a Apexi GT Spec, its a single, driver side exit, less bends, large piping, and less weight.

I thought the GT Muffler was passenger side.

For a Fujitsubo, just imagine it looking almost stock (except prettier), but being a lot louder and deeper. But still way quiter than an all-stainless exhaust like the Apex GT or the HKS HiPower. Also maintains a lot of low-end torque.

Well, as long as it's a Legalis and not one of their all-stainless exhausts, that is.

They're expensive though.

I think the RE Amemiya Dolphin-tail (stainless) sounds good... at least with the stock cats on a turbo.

http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/sound/sound_fc_fd.html (first two videos)

(and it's about the same price as a Fujitsubo... which is a lot :p )


Also, from the pics I've seen, the GT is left-side exit.

I'm pretty sure that an N1 Dual.

Anywho. Racing Beat and GReddy are the only real choices.

RB, Greddy, corksport, RE, Apexi, and custom setups are all good choices.

I took the system off my old FB and I am gonna rework it to fit my FC. Which is dual canister silnge side N1 mufflers, borla xr-1 as a pre, and I am looking to buy a sdj header.

Borla + Bonez Superflo sounds amazing.

And for intakes: Use a quality filiter and a 92-96 eBay Prelude intake. Use the following pics to cut it accordingly.

From what I've personally had and seen. Magnaflow mufflers provide the throatiest sound.

i have the ss autochrome bought right here on the forum from a group buy. Its a turboback and sounds extremely nice and is very nice to look at from the rear end. Mufflers are similar to the apex-i series. Not a bad price either, you might wanna check up on this.
