Option — Shōwa Car Tuning & Buyers Guide (2000 Edition)

Creating the finest products. That policy has remained unchanged since our founding in 1931. Through social and economic change, advances in automotive technology, and countless races, we have continued our diligent efforts and grown to this day. A truly fine product must be more than a high-performance, high-quality part such as a muffler or exhaust manifold. At Fujitsubo Giken, we believe it must also embody human sensibility. We therefore conduct research and development that considers people, cars, society, and the environment as one, and promote a total-performance laboratory and intelligent factory system linking people and computers. This enables products made with rich sensitivity, greater intelligence, and advanced engineering.

Certified to the ISO 9001 international quality-assurance standard—a first for Japan’s sports-muffler industry. ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) develops international standards; the ISO 9000 series concerns quality assurance. Fujitsubo obtained ISO 9001 by meeting and maintaining requirements across 20 areas, from orders and design through development, manufacturing, and shipment. The text claims this was the first such certification by a sports-muffler manufacturer in Japan. Combining accumulated technical knowledge with a comprehensive quality-control system enables products with higher quality and reliability.
