- Join us as we visit one of the most prominent aftermarket manufacturers of exhaust systems. Fujitsubo Giken is A well-known supplier of all OEM parts and respected in the industry for its quality and craftsmanship. We go behind the veil of a top JDM exhaust maker, secrets of Fujitsubo: an exclusive factory tour byJDM Masters. We have the rare opportunity to visit their factory and see behind-the-scenes how these high-quality products are made first hand. Japan is known for its outstanding manufacturing capability and excellence in quality which is consistent and efficient in manufacturing.
The meticulousness in detail of quality control extends to just about every other industry. But today we take a look at components that are important to call tuning and motorsports.
These days, Fujitsubo is known for one thing only: its high-performance exhausts. If you are anything like me, you’d think that the business has its bread and butter in supplying the aftermarket and race teams, but most of their volume is supplying Japanese carmakers with the ‘stock’ exhausts for their performance models.
Most notable is the Nissan R35 GT-R. I’ve now seen the internals of the stock muffler and - although I wasn’t allowed to photograph it - can assure you that the design is much higher quality than some of the other aftermarket systems I’ve seen installed on cars. And people wonder why their R35 doesn’t make any more power after dropping big bucks on a fancy-looking system.
Fujitsubo also supplies lots of smaller tuning companies as an ‘OEM,’ meaning the systems are designed and manufactured by Fujitsubo but sold under a different name. This is common in the automotive aftermarket and allows companies without the huge R&D and manufacturing power of a specialist like Fujitsubo to provide high-quality systems to their customers. In fact, there was a lot I couldn’t photograph for the risk of exposing proprietary design details.
Nothing is stronger than tradition at Fujitsubo, but the engineering team continues to pursue new technological approaches to optimize the design and manufacture of high-performance exhausts. They realize that the principles of good exhaust design persist, yet the demands of the modern consumer continue to change.
Making bucket-loads of top-end power with just an exhaust is not always possible when factory designs are already so optimized, and the prevalence of turbocharging in modern performance cars means an ECU-tuned increase in boost pressure is often a much easier path to bigger numbers. “Today, most customers are more concerned with achieving a certain sound or style,” observes Fujitsubo-san. “But our starting point is always the highest performance; from there we will pursue sound tuning and aesthetics.”
In a highly competitive industry for aftermarket exhaust systems. Mufflers and exhaust manifold Fujitsubo has a history that extends to pre-war days when the founder started with motorcycles before building the company to be recognized as an industry leader.

Can we have in depth look on Rays Manufacturing Process and Factory Tour
Would love this, or any japanese manufacturer of wheels.
SSR would be up there 👆
"Next manufacturer tour, HKS, Tein, RYB, Tokico, Amuse, Ray's Engineering, Enkei, Denso, NGK, Lexus Factory etc"... "awesome work JDM Master".😉🍻🇺🇸🇯🇵
JDM Masters never disappoints! 🔥
JDM Masters is Sugoi AF, I don't know of any other chanel that does english language tours of Japanese Tuners. GREAT work lads !
I watch the whole video from beginning to end and boy was it exhausting
😂😂😂
Don’t lie to yourself for clicking on this video, you’re a part nerd and that’s good.
Guilty 🙋🏼♂️ 😄
Thats the first step is admitting it 🤣 I also need one of these exhaust for shaken
Im not part nerd, im whole grain.
How's that good?
So what?
you deserve a MILLION SUBS JDM Masters ❣️
Fujitsubo is simply on another level COMPLETELY. There is no doubt about it
This is the earliest I have been to your video. I'm proud of myself
Big hype, as i run Fujitsubo on both of my cars
I had on my Z33, sounds great
i got one on my mr2 spyder, sounds awesome, really deep, but not too loud
I run the RM-01A system on my evo II, and it’s way too quiet. I wish there was a turbo back version.
@@Sean_Bolkcom yeah well a turbo already quiets it down some, maybe keep the muffler since it is high quality but take out any resonators or pre-cats, etc.
@@nickn7939 that’s actually exactly what I’m planning on doing. But right now yeah tbh even from outside the car you can barely hear the exhaust note.
Where can the capt go that would not leave me in awe!? I can not express how much I love this channel. 🙏
I love how unabashedly pro-japanese this channel is, its the kind of pride missing in many western countries now adays.
My Evo I imported back in January came with a Fujitsubo exhaust, I thought it was a "cheaply built" exhaust. It had dulled and was dirty when I finally got my car. About 2 weeks into having the evo I decided to clean up and polish my exhaust. It was then I realised the welds were exquisite, no stress on the bends, seriously good quality. I researched Fujitsubo and I'm really proud to have it on my car.
Thank you for allowing me the chance to see where my very exhaust system was made!
Fujitsubo fan now ❤👌
JDM masters channel will be a legend of JDM archives in the future
I work in teir1 supplier for OEMs doing this very thing for stock cars but never got to see aftermarket performance. Interesting to see its the exact same process but just at a slower speed and lower volume.... Very cool, thanks!
Do you think this place, with the slower pace, has a better quality control?
@@therealboofighter oem exhaust systems seldom have quality issues, they have no moving parts.
13:33 is this some sort of magic
Love my RM01a. Brilliant to see where and how its made and the care that went into it.
Absolutely stunning factory and masters of exhaust tuning. Japan is a beautiful country.
Awesome Video! I am happy that my connections could get you guys to connect with this awesome company. They are clearly one of my favorite muffler brands 🇯🇵😍🔥
Fujitsubo legalis R for the win! I got this catback on my AE86 3 years ago and it is well worth the money. It's quality built, quiet and creates nice back pressure. One of my favorite upgrades in a long time.
Agreed, also got the Fujitsubo Legalis R on my BB6. Fitment, ground clearance was great. The craftsmanship is impeccable. It sounds great and it was also much lighter than the smaller oem exhaust. Was surprised when i saw the hangers were hollow.
Isn’t back pressure bad lol
These manufacturer tours are absolutely wonderful. It's so cool to see at-least some of the faces and history behind these otherwise enigmatic names.
This is some really professional coverage man. I can see you going to some real high places if you keep it up! Just don't forget about us☺
Japanese manufacturing and quality control is a modern marvel
getting chills at back of my spine enjoying JDM Master vids update 😆👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
One of the best up and coming RUclips channels. Thank you for great info on the beloved JDM cars and parts of then and now.
The production value on your latest vids is incredible! What a gem of a channel
Have bought a Fujitsubo exhaust for my GR Yaris after watching this video. Quality and attention to detail 👍
Is anyone else soothed by Captains voice?
The content of JDM Masters keeps getting better and better. Love what you guys do.
What's crazy is if you buy one of their exhaust system, it comes with a pamphlet that tells you at which rpm range a certain exhaust decibels will be and they are pretty accurate if you bother to test them yourselves.
Loving your quality content JDM Masters!👌
I love this channel
This has to be the highest quality exhaust I've ever seen. Wow. I didnt know about the level of quality this company made. Now it makes me wish they made something for my lexus.
This is amazing, so much talent in Fujitsubo. Great video
I don't know for the other countries but French manufacturer at least as clean as this one. Very cool to visit Fujitsubo legendary exhaust manufacturer. Thank you!

Greetings from Kenya. Getting an RM01A for my GGB wagon in a week or so, enjoyed this more than once 🙌🏾
Always getting a food shot in there, good video content, well done.

Fujitsubo products are worth every penny. Would definitely buy again.
Thanks JDM Masters!
This guy is king with the places he gets into i love shop tours big or small
Incredible video, well done insight
Excellent episode
This guy has answered soooo many questions I had and more about the jdm scene. Back in the 90s was only forums, magazines and a stronggggg language barrier. Not to mention 56k internet 😂. As always, top quality video, thank you.
Excellent insight into these magnificent exhausts systems, I definitely need one ha 😎👍🏻
This was really interesting!
Fujitsubo exhaust, top of the line 👍🔝
Amazing factory visit on the world top exhaust manufacturer! 😍 Wish you can continue on this type of visit, looking forward on toda racing, HKS, GReddy, Cusco, Tein, alot more... 😄
Amazing factory, attention to detail Jdm parts are the best hands down!!😁
Very informative, I like the content, keep it up!.
Great videi again , can't wait for the GR Supra video
Amazing sir
I found this channel entirely by accident, searching for the model of exhaust for my 147 Aristo. I ended up subscribing because of how in depth and consistent the content is. Eventually I found that the exhaust is a Sedalis, listed on their website as a variant of the Legalis. Very excited to put it on the car.
I ordered a Legalis R for the Integra I’m restoring. It took about 8 months to get including shipping time from Japan. It was worth the wait it’s like a piece of art on the car.
Nice staff as always! Keep it up captain
Awesome guys👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I found this to be interesting as I am running a muffler from them on my SW20. I love the way it sounds.
Happy holidays Capt. Bradford
beautiful company and very good material
Very satisfying
Very interesting vidéo ! I love factories and plants visits
My friend have R34 and installed a Fujitsubo exhaust. Sounds like a beast.
Very impressive!
you speaking very smooth and nice to hear!! awesome 👍
Very good video!
Awesome job cap and japonic🔥👌🏾
I didn't expect to sit down and watch a 35 minute video, but it was just that good 🇯🇵🏁
i will give this vids thumbs up👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Fujitsubo factory!! ❤❤❤❤
I hope Fujitsubo continues to produce older 90’s JDM car exhaust applications. I’m not just talking about the popular GTR’s and Hondas either, I’m referring to all 90’s JDM cars they once produced exhausts for.
I love JDM Masters
