Hi everyone,


First off, a big thank you for all the awesome info shared on this forum! After some research, I’ve decided to go with the Blitz Nur-Spec Custom exhaust for my FL5. Here’s why I’m excited about it:


1. It has three tips like the stock setup, and I’m opting for the stainless steel tips for a clean look.


2. It’s not too loud, hitting around 94 dB at full throttle. Plus, it’s Japan noise-compliant, so no need for a middle pipe.


3. The adjustable tips mean I can avoid that super protruding, Bosozoku-style look that’s common with other exhausts for this car. I’m probably just getting old, but I prefer a subtler style—think M3, AMG, or Supra vibes, where the muffler doesn’t stick out too far.


On another note, I’m planning to order from Blackhawkjapan.com since they have the exhaust at a solid price. However, the shipping was surprisingly affordable when I checked out, which caught my attention. For those who’ve dealt with international orders, can anyone clarify when tariffs or customs fees kick in? Is it at checkout or when the item hits customs? Any tips would be super appreciated.


Thanks again for all the help and great discussions here!

I agree with you and will be going the same route. I'll be selling my AWE Track soon.

I heard Black Hawk is quoting a certain shipping amount but then hitting people with additional charges due to tariffs. Don't know how true this is. Maybe one of the vendors here can get us in on a group buy type deal @MERAKIAUTOWORKS

they have a ton of stuff on their website but it's so frustrating you can't filter by car. there's like 500 pages of parts I'd have to look through to find what i want.

I'm sure pricing is accurate. You're going to get hit hard with taxes and tariffs though.

Importing products from Japan is difficult right now cause of that..

If additional fees in connection with the purchase are applicable you would not pay them at checkout, those fees are post-hoc. Fees would be assessed by the courier either before delivery or as a condition of delivery. The minimum threshold is $800; however, it's not clear how these companies are caring for import taxes. I've had three car related shipments in excess of $800 in the last 2 years and never paid any import fees. FWIW, this was before the recent changes to U.S. foreign trade policy.
