Js exhaust real or fake?

Hey guys I was seriously considering buying the Js racing axle back from Ajr, but looking at it it just looks like a complete pile of crap compared to the jdm version. Now I have herd that Ben from AJr was working with Js to make a usdm version to fit out cars better. But realy who made the exhasut? I dont know any Js product that they hav made that is not stamped or engraved. And the quality of welds just doesnt measure up. Now I know that pretty much everyone here kisses AJrs ass lol and please dont take any of this the wrong way. I just want to know the truth anout those usdm "Js" mufflers

Real Js from N1 concepts 2 month wait to get it. But I hear it fits a little short.





AJR "J's" usdm version notice the lack of quality compared to the jdm version, just doesnt look like something J's would make or approve.

I knwo soon or later guys will ask me this question. We have made special request for J's to build us AJR edition which are similars to the one that we offer for S2000. Because of some mis-communication, the product were made not the way we requested so we have to sell them at a lower price because we have to get rid of them.

The exhaust that you have is REAL so there's nothing to worry about.

Yes that's correct.

The J's grille doesn't have any J's stuff embedded in the Fiberglass. The CF intake didn't either, it just came with a decal that you can stick on. I think the strut bars only come with stickers too and there is no permanent engraved logo anywhere.

Ben is it possible to get the "older" style exhaust rather then this new USDM type one.
I personally would much rather have the one for the jdm fit rather then the new on you have j's making.

There was never a USDM version made. This information is coming from the J's Racing President in Japan. If there was authorization to build a custom USDM version, let's see the contract.

Has anyone visited the J's Racing website? You'll notice the list of authorized dealers for North America has changed.

Its obvious the tips are different.

People just don't like bad news that they bought a fake. It just plain sucks.

Edit:
I think Ben's got some explaining to do..
The thread has gotten quite interesting, even with a signed letter from J's president and all..
Where are the AJR reps to chime in on this?
