Is this my exhaust?

[Kiteless]

I was told that it came from Japan, and has had a few owners. I noticed it going through the after market exhaust thread. I think that is even the box I have. I got it from Gideon a few weeks ago after sitting in his attic for 2 years. I have it bolted on to my stock mid-pipe and LOOOOVE IT! Brrrrrrum Burrrrrrrrrmb!

EDIT: OK the pics in the quote below didn't come through. Downloaded and re-attached a few. Its amazing that I think I am the 3rd or 4th owner of this exhaust and it does not have a scratch on it. I am trying to do the same as well. Being very careful in driveways and speed-bumps.

I thought I had said as much in another thread but yes, that is the exact exhaust you have, from etimago to ChinoCharles and to you! Keeping it in the YW family.

Yes yes you did. But I have a terrible memory and could not remember all the names you mentioned. Thanks again for selling it to me... And installing it!

Well I wanted to make my unique and I got lucky with the wheels from Sean and this exhaust from Gideon. I didn't know they pulled out of the US.

Yes, I can confirm, as JDM as it gets, cost me a pretty penny back in the day

Get ready to have your neighbors complain about the noise!

I am happy to give it a good home! Its a little loud, but since my header ans mid-pipe is stock, I don't think it's too loud.

It really is. Even the box it came in is (I believe) the box in the picture, just the box is way beat up now, but has some Japanese newspaper on it.

I know I have said this many times on the forums but I never thought I would be the kind of guy that has an exhaust, but I am really glad I got it and have so much more fun driving it.

Thanks so much guys!

Just curious, is there a "Jasma" certificate in the box as well?

Hmmm I didn't see one. Might be under all those Japanese newspapers. The box is now up in my attic with me OEM exhaust in it. Incase I ever need/want to swap it back.
