Installing A Fujitsubo On The EM1 Civic 

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.

You can always tell when Matt is driving a Honda because his hat is backwards. 🤣

Matt blowing through stop signs and red lights, hat backwards 🤣🤣

Can we talk about the reflection coming from the bonnet when he’s driving the Honda?? That sh*t is beautiful!

This is a seriously cool build.. never thought I'd be so excited to watch a civic build Lol.. love it.

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.

Thank you for building on this platform and sharing with us!

The build keeps getting better and better keep it up the honda bros will be proud

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 had the Greddy Ti - C exhaust back when I had my EM1. Loved the way it sounded.

Hollyyyy shittt!!!! My favorite exhaust on a mint em1! 😍

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.

I love what your doing to this car. Two thumbs up.

i have a Fujitsubo power getter on my dc5r and its pretty good, quiet but well made and sounds excellent

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.

yup, this exhaust sounds really good

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...

that laugh "haha" only a honda can do that! exhaust sounds great Matt!

17:02 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.

I Want to See a Pic with the 3 Blue Cars. Porsche, M3 and the Civic.

That sounds really good

Test pipe on that exhaust is 👌🏽

FGK for the win! I have fgk on my civic too! I love how they have more deep bass sound

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.

Class is early today! 👍🏽

Sound great.

My brother had the DC Sports cat back with test pipe and GReddy header and it sounded amazing

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

Lmao your reaction to not having the hangers is priceless

Hurst shifter with centerforce dual friction with spoon diff, perfect!!

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.

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 🤪😉

Sounds pretty good to me! Get a high flow cat or test pipe, header and it'll sound louder for sure

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

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

The exhaust will get a little louder as it breaks in. I'm in love with this car!!! It's amazing.

You should make a movie for your Civic. A visual treat for Civic fans.

The B18C is going to change the tone Js Racing or toda racing exhaust might give you sound you want but if you add the header and a test pipe to those candidates it’s drone city. The fujitsubo might be the winner in the end once you hear it opened up with the header, test pipe, and B18C added to it. Great content as usual sir

Can wait to see how it ends

You should try the Thermal R&D exhaust. That was always my favorite.

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!👍

Toyo tires R1R very good grip 👌

You can always get a circuit hero shift extender or do a flp shifter available from jhp.

Little Honda bros check!

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.

I think you would love the Thermal R&D exhaust.

You should try the Spoon N1 exhaust, it gives a nice deep tone without being overly loud and raspy

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.

@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 don't think I have ever seen spend this much on a 90s civic lmao in the last 15 years.

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.

That's cool, you going to LHT big Honda place, they love doing the super chargers 👌 to Honda s2000

Mirror... called it :)

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

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.

Until you remove the test pipe most exhausts are relatively quiet. I’m my opinion you should be doing these tests with no cat.

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?

I remember my first time and it wasn’t this bad.

Sounds like you’re just over the whole exhaust setup thing lol. Ready to move onto the swap right?

That EM1 is missing the optional factory rear under spoiler, but good luck finding one of those right?

I just seen a vid on something that may help you on the handling side is from spoon .. ridgid spoon collars

When Matt says “crappy rock auto brake pads”... But..... I have rock auto pads on my daily driver :(

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.

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.

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.

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

How you have a video on how all three exhaust sound and the headders?

I don't have a Civic, I own 2 of them, one for the daily commute and an SiR (México) and I'd love to get that Grandpa exhaust. LoL

@14:00 oh stop it matthew your making me blush

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

The apexi exhaust looks and sound better.

Where did you buy it from? And if u still have it is it still for sale?

Get pci spherical rear trailing arm bushing there is a night and day difference and the added nvh is minimal

The sound is going to change a lot with the header and no cat. Definitely going to be louder.

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.

4 more days!!!

I would love that apexi exhaust for my integra..do you still have it

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.

Can the coupe exhaust fit a civic sedan?

Sounds good, maybe better with 200hp and no cat?

did you get the regamasters in yet?

LOL the hat😂😂😂

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

You can reduce the amount of times you have to turn the wheel by getting a close ratio steering rack, like from Quaife.co.uk

What size anvil is the right angle impact wrench?

26:40 “springed”? Maybe “sprung” is what you were looking for? 😂

Is that not heat tape for the bumper??

This Civic is a lucky car

17:43 Hopefully LHTP is going to also AWD it.

M5 exhaust deja vu....here we go

Are you based in Florida? Looks like Lakeland Fl

How about something with a Helmholtz chamber? 🤔

Exhuast do get louder as they build up soot

How much for the apexi exhaust?

Without a doubt missing hangers.
