Installing A Fujitsubo On The EM1 Civic
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- While the APEXi exhaust was cool it was a little too grown up for my taste. So I ordered this Fujitsubo exhaust to see if we could liven things up a bit.
It sounds a bit better than before but we'll definitely need to do a new header.

Stay tuned for more crazy!
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.
The kids are too young, they never saw the first one. LOL
@@7eamGhast 03 baby here, and off the top of my headI believe the line is "Motec system exhaust" haha
@@texasstreetproductions9041 Ha, yep... you're right.
You can always tell when Matt is driving a Honda because his hat is backwards. 🤣
Russell Hagy on point
I’m dying here Matt. I haven’t heard the Fujitsubo name in forever. I never liked the skunk 2 exhaust on any car and especially the SI. My buddy had one new and we never liked the skunk 2. Smart move taking off the header too. Besides Toda Im not sure I would use anything else on the SI.
Loving this build being my buddy had an SI as his first new car and I had a 2000 celica gt-s 6 speed also my first new car and we both were in college studying engineering and playing/dreaming about what we would do if we had more money for mods. Living the dream through you now. The car scene was so different back then and most people have no idea what it was like but you def do and it’s another reason I love these vids. Awesome work.
Yo, it takes us back to a different time. The hang outs and meet ups, just cruising together, so much fun. I just bought a 99 Civic Hatch i'm building with my sons.
Team Ghast it was so different. I remember going to HOT IMPORT NIGHTS in Atlantic City and Philly. I went to a show every Wednesday night as well after class. Awesome memories.
Junk2 never sounds good on any car
Can we talk about the reflection coming from the bonnet when he’s driving the Honda?? That sh*t is beautiful!
Nathan Crook I looked at it all the time when he’s driving I don’t know why.It’s just so so nice.
You should go with an LHT Ti setup for exhaust man.. LHT makes some of the best sounding exhausts for Hondas.. You cant go wrong with a custom Titanium V-band setup and you can easily mis-match resonator/muffler combos with replacing the whole exhaust. I cant afford Titanium, but I did go with 304 SS K-Teller piping and V-bands with Vibrant 3 inch muffler and and Ultra Quiet resonator and it sounds great.

A tip, when braking put the ball of your foot on the whole pedal, not just the edge of the pedal. That's the best way to do it, especially during heavy brake use.
The exhaust will get deeper and louder once you install the toda header and straight pipe. If you order another exhaust do the Mugen twin-loop
Hurst shifter with centerforce dual friction with spoon diff, perfect!!
I Want to See a Pic with the 3 Blue Cars. Porsche, M3 and the Civic.
You should make a movie for your Civic. A visual treat for Civic fans.
I just seen a vid on something that may help you on the handling side is from spoon .. ridgid spoon collars
Class is early today! 👍🏽
Lmao your reaction to not having the hangers is priceless
Door was repainted? That is super shady if the seller did not mention that. I wonder if it was in an accident...
Look how clean that undercarriage is... jesus.
Matt might be a good idea to wear some eye protection. That dropped pipe really could have did some damage had it hit you in the eyes. The edge on some of those parts can be very sharp. I don’t like wearing eye protection myself, but have had one to many close calls.
The suspension you are planning sounds nuts. Keep up the good work.
You should try the Thermal R&D exhaust. That was always my favorite.
I don't think I have ever seen spend this much on a 90s civic lmao in the last 15 years.
When the b18c goes in the exhaust will liven up a little bit from the extra volume of air moved. That's what I experienced with a thermal exhaust system and same swap.
What Final Drive do you have for your B18? What chassis? Do you still enjoy B18 or would you go K?
Got a civic for my Sons and I to build, and I wanted to do period correct, but K is very appealing.
My build is a lower budget but very similar in feel to Matt's with mine starting with a 42k mile car. I have ZERO regrets going with a JDM b18c type R with trans. I have a 97 spec with 4.4 fd. I pull away from anything that originally came with a K20 or 24 EASILY. I would like to do a 4.7 fd but with 97 gearing vs 98 gearing, but it is 100% not needed.
Depending on what you plan for the car would dictate what motor to use. B18c would be period correct, k would be newer and faster but k series trans are not as good as B imo, for a budget build or bang for buck not needing the bling factor I would b20v all day and pocket all the extra money, while walking a b18c
crushsupher I gotta do more research on the B20 but really appreciate the reply, I think I’m gunna keep searching for B18, how long you own it?
The apexi exhaust looks and sound better.
Matt just curious why you didn't consider a J's Racing exhaust. If you did consider it I didn't hear you talk about it. It is the best sounding b series exhaust I have heard recently.
Love the channel and content. By chance is the car give away still on or is it over?
Where can i go and sign up?
Mirror... called it :)
Just got at a em2 to be my project daily. Looking for exhaust but do not want a horrible fart can is this best option I want some sound but not loud or crazy drone
I think so. Of the exhausts left, this. is one of the best options.
@@ObsessedGarage thanks for the feedback
Are you Florida Gators fan?
M5 exhaust deja vu....here we go
No eardrums were harmed during the making or watching of this video
Hi guys,who know where can find EM1 fujitubo RM01A exhaust , because hard to find in Japan,thankyou
Why not full custom titanium exhaust from LHT?? These off-the-shelf exhaust sound like shit
Are you based in Florida? Looks like Lakeland Fl
I’d purchase the “grandpa” apexi just let me know brother
Just have John from LHT make an exhaust for you
You can never have to many b series exhaust systems lol
Maybe stop at stop signs. Just a thought.
Let me have one of the sets of wheels
Who in the 20th century uses Tenzo lol..... sound good tho
Driving around without brakes isn't smart :)
👍🙏😉🇺🇸🇵🇹
Matt blowing through stop signs and red lights, hat backwards 🤣🤣
I don't understand why you go through all these stages when John at LHT can easily do a very high quality titanium full system.
Yeah really. That Ti twin loop setup on the turbo Integra project was bonkers!
The twin loop he does is insane good and sounds pretty tame as well
Exactly
@obessedgarage quick question, what was the part # for this? Did you get it for the EK9? EG or DC2? Thanks in advance man! Going for this same set up!
I think I actually prefer the look of the WS2. You’ll most likely get more grunt out of the toda headers than the Megan headers which might give you the sound you want.
Love what you're doing, and I like how you make your edits literally like hanging out. I'm very excited to see what choices you plan with the B18C, are you getting the 4.4 or 4.7 Final Drive? plans to upgrade? Might I suggest, with money really not being an issue, the possibility of a WaveTrac 1.5 Differential (Best Technology, Transferrable Lifetime Warranty), and upgrading to a 4.9 Final Drive? Have you considered a smaller width Wheel & Tire set up? 15x6.5 with RE71R would out perform any other tire right now (in that width) and with a lighter wheel and tire, your future of Spoon calipers and 2 piece rotors, the lighter battery (possibly lighter hood since the door was painted), matched to a 4.9 Final drive.... The weight added from sound system and dynomat keeps rear planted I bet, and with that new suspension set up car will be Boss (It already is). It's literally never been done, The haters are quiet now, LOL
Edit: Are you going OEM Wrinkle Red Valve Cover? or will you keep the OEM Wrinkle Black? Most people would go Red, I would too if it was a legit JDM B18C, but black looks very clean and classic.
Cheers.
This is a seriously cool build.. never thought I'd be so excited to watch a civic build Lol.. love it.
I don't know for sure but that little strip of heat tape might be for the arc in the rear bumper to keep The tip from melting the plastic.. Which it doesn't seem that close but.. just a thought.
This is like a 2005 flashback for me. Comptech references and all :) I've had 4 fujitsubo exhaust over the years. They are great, fantastic welds and certainly not overpowering or loud. Great choice.
Can the coupe exhaust fit a civic sedan?
The build keeps getting better and better keep it up the honda bros will be proud
Had a full Fujitsubo Legalis R with header on my old 02 Altezza it was such a fantastic exhaust not too loud and not too quiet was perfect.
Thank you so much for doing this build. I never thought of buying an Integra again and modifying it the right way as a grownup. I'm living vicariously through you with this build. Btw that blue is the best color hands down on a EM1.
SMH This man has so many unnecessary tools. What the hell is an exhaust grommet puller? I thought they were called rubber wheel hangers and you remove them eeeasily by hand with a little WD40.
I wish I was still on the route that had me picking up your orders. It was cool meeting the guys at Obsessed....even though y'all always filled my truck up
i have a Fujitsubo power getter on my dc5r and its pretty good, quiet but well made and sounds excellent
Matt is crazy! Love this built and can't wait what the LHT guys are going to do with the engine swap! Crazy content coming up!
Hollyyyy shittt!!!! My favorite exhaust on a mint em1! 😍
When Matt says “crappy rock auto brake pads”...
But..... I have rock auto pads on my daily driver :(
Sounds like you’re just over the whole exhaust setup thing lol. Ready to move onto the swap right?
Until you remove the test pipe most exhausts are relatively quiet. I’m my opinion you should be doing these tests with no cat.
I’ve had my Em1 for over a year now and finally getting around to doing to mods. I am going for the same exhaust setup you did with this one. Who did you order your Fujitsubo exhaust from if you don’t mind me asking.
@obsessed garage , did you order the one for the hatchback?
Removing the cat would of made it louder...
Do you still have any parts left over, I’m getting an EM 1 ready for my sons first car. I know I’m about a min late finding your videos but I’m hooked now!👍
No man...it's all gone.
The sound is going to change a lot with the header and no cat. Definitely going to be louder.
Where did you buy it from? And if u still have it is it still for sale?
I bought a 95 240sx in 2006 for $1,500 with the only mod a cold air intake, since then I simply did a fujitsubo full exhaust, tomei lsd, 300zx full brake upgrade, 5 lug conversion, the things I believe the car needs to be better... Its a great car to drive, well balanced, great on gas, 5-speed, never drifted by me or the previous owner according to him, this was before drifting really took off, I cant see myself parting with it cause it handles like cars 10x the price, I drove newer sports car but its just something about the feel, sound, and rawness of the 240 I love it... Nissan did an excellent job and its so easy to work on...
It’s not rubbing. It’s self clearancing
Thank you for building on this platform and sharing with us!
First? What's up little Honda bros.
First , why not ? This is the most modded car in the world
I remember my first time and it wasn’t this bad.
I would have spent 6k on the stereo and 14k on a B18 Spoon engine but that's just me
You can't buy a Spoon engine any longer. I tried.
Hello Matt,I m Benny,I saw your you tube , replace fujitubo RM01A exhaust in Honda EM1,can you tell me where can find a new one set RM01A exhaust,thank you so much
I ordered from a dealer in the US that ordered it directly from Fujitsubo. It took 4 months to get.
@@ObsessedGarage Thankyou for your reply
Toyo tires R1R very good grip 👌
Little Honda bros check!
The more things change, the more it stays the same.
Matt keeps modding it, but I see no difference. 🤔
In the end... Matt will look back and say:
I'm glad I didn't spend my tuition on modding my Civic - as I wanted 😜
Unlike other guys... unfortunately 😞
Seeing the rear suspension there while working on the rear muffler made me think about the rear lower control arms. Any chance you got suspension for the Integra Type R? The stock Civic LCA’s are super weak and janky stamped steel. Type R rear LCA’s are much beefier C-section arms, with the eyelet and bushing on the bottom of the rear shocks. A worthwhile upgrade over the weak stock junk.
How much for the apexi exhaust?
Had a skunk2 on my em1 as well. It was awful. Apexi WS is subtle. Interested to see how the complete exhaust system works out. I currently have an RMF header, 2.5” high flow cat and Hytech twin loop cat back on my ITR. Also a CT Engineering ice box. Springs on stock dampers is a fail. H&R and Koni Yellow ride a lot better. I would suggest adding ITR steering rack to the list if it’s not already in the works.
Those tyres are very narrow . 👀🙄
Apex.......i. 🤣
I think that Apex'i muffler is chambered hence why it's so quiet. The Skunk2 from before and the Fujitsubo are probably both straight through. Also, I think the heat shield applies to the rear bumper cut out to help keep it from possibly melting.
The k-tuned shifter is a thing of beauty you don’t feel like you have to have the ghetto lean to shift gears. It comes in super helpful when shifting around the track. You can still put a boot on to take away from the sticking out look.
Ps... when you come to your senses and get rid of those horrible spoon stick ons I’ll trade you my mirrors for those RE-30s 🤪😉
I cant beleive you didn't go with a DC or HKS HI-POWER Ti. Exhaust
You sound like your a tech for Honda or Porsche. Lol take out the engine, fix the clutch, rebuild transmission ... Do it.
Your car definitely has tilt steering wheel. It's on the left side under the column. Lever goes down, you can angle the wheel, then lever back up to lock.
The Lisle hanger tool is much better then the chincy snap on unit. Ive had the SO ones break a few times. The Lisle is cheaper and beefier
That's cool, you going to LHT big Honda place, they love doing the super chargers 👌 to Honda s2000
That EM1 is missing the optional factory rear under spoiler, but good luck finding one of those right?
Let it break in before you change it again. You need to drive the car with the exhaust. Allow the exhaust to get up to temp and cool . The sound will change it just takes time. A test pipe will help also.
After that downpipe change and cat delete, it might be chucking the old exhausts on seeing as it looked pretty painless and check what their new sound is. You might be pleasantly surprised
I know you are talking to your Honda Bros in this video but you should be cranking the tunes! I want to hear that stereo.
could be wrong but maybe the heat shield piece would go inside of the bracket on the muffler to stop the metal on metal rattle maybe lol
My brother had the DC Sports cat back with test pipe and GReddy header and it sounded amazing
Sound great.
Sounds pretty good to me! Get a high flow cat or test pipe, header and it'll sound louder for sure
Test pipe on that exhaust is 👌🏽
You can always get a circuit hero shift extender or do a flp shifter available from jhp.
I’m quite sure that muffler has a silencer on the end of it does it not? Matt could make it a bit louder just by removing it
I wish I had the money to trial an error many different upgrades to see what you like best , this car is coming out awesome
You should try the Spoon N1 exhaust, it gives a nice deep tone without being overly loud and raspy
that hanger was an optional piece you should of left it out what gives you the best tone is the wobble hahaha matt you are the man yoo
FGK for the win! I have fgk on my civic too! I love how they have more deep bass sound
I had the Greddy Ti - C exhaust back when I had my EM1. Loved the way it sounded.
drive it like a honda bro!!!!! double clutch and stop granny shifting hahah!!!
