Hey all.
I have just bought Adrians black TT race car and it came with a stainless "Fujitsubo" twin catback exhaust. It has the same configuration as the stock system except in stainless and looks pretty well put together. The car is pretty quiet compared to my road car( but that has dumps, high flow cat etc.)
I was wondering if any one knows what it is worth? I am considering pulling it off and selling it or swapping it for something more racy. I imagine this exhaust would pass EPA noise as it is pretty quiet(and has JASMA stamp on it).
The other option is to wait until I find some dumps for it and see what its like then.

rampant performance had one back in 06 for $1400... dont know if it sold for that much though
might be worth a bit being a fuji... however i doubt many people, myself included, would pay over $1000 for a cat back. i see alot of fuji twin sytems on yahoo japan and they are around the $1200-$1300 mark before shipping.
i think you should keep it, as it would flow extremely well and be on the quiet side. or you could sell it to me for cheap!

Yeah I was the one who bought that set from Rampant, Ryan
They sell for about $1000 and above if in good condition. You'd be hard pressed finding someone who'd pay that much for a catback alone though, especially when you can get a full custom made exhaust for a little extra.

Cheers for the info.
I have received some emails 'bidding' for the exhaust. Just to clarify: the exhaust is not for sale. I'm in the discovery stage with the car at the moment. Once I figure out what needs to be done, what can be done, and what I can get away with/without I'll decide on a course of action.
Some of the issues include mismatched coilovers with unknown jap brand on the front (metallic orange strut tops) and HSD HR on the rear. The rear is so stiff the shocks could possibly be one piece billet items! Adrian was building a drifter. I would rather a track day utility car.
The sunroof is still in location and we are thinking it has to weigh a bit, especially being so high above the centre of gravity.
The AC and plumbing is all still there, and It'll probably need a front mount and oil cooler to build survivability into it.

The HSD HRs would be worth holding on to if youre building a track car, although obviously you'll need to get a matching set for the front
I will eventually get around to getting a set for my track Soarer.
The stock spring rates for these are 16kg/mm front, 8kg/mm rear
And as i recall, Damien Smith (v8soarer.com) mentioned 8kg/mm is on the soft side for soarer track work (im thinking 16kg on the front will be too hard though)
