Hey there AH370Z. My reasoning behind that comment (also coming from previous FI cars), is that the F.I. exhaust has a straighter path with less bends in it's design. Also, even if it's a little LOUD now with the RTP's i'll also see a greater gain down the track when I go Turbo/SC (most likely Turbo) and it will generally quieten a bit also. Tony from F.I. also went through this also with another member in his thread. Again nothing against the Stillen as that will still be a good exhaust.

well for me 100% stillen exhaust and the berk HFCs

I'm still debating the intake because of warranty i'll call my dealership and ask if they'rr have an effect.... I'll also suss out the website tonight and see if i want anything else :P
I'm looking to put in my order towards the end of next week sometime. If we want to add stuff to the 3*G3 Intakes let me know and i'll fire off some more emails to get prices etc. I'll send him one now to see if there will be much difference in shipping to one Address or splitting the order State by State. Just so there is no confusion, this is for the STILLEN/Berk stuff from Import Parts Pro or their Vendor Section.

I am calling them tomorrow to book in my 1000km service, so I will ask as well. I'll ask if they will install the parts themselves and sign off on the warranty before hand. I know the manager so I will get a straight answer.
It would be good to know what the Service Manager will say. Generally any Add-On will void the warranty. Depending on what's affected that is. Say your Power Seats stuff up, that wont get voided as the Intake will not affect it. If it was some internal engine issue, now thats another story.

If not, we can take it to where i took my 350, he was really careful with installing the exhaust and a bit of a perfectionist too... so i'll trust him with the 370
I would be than happy as well to get the dealer to install, albeit as long as the premium isn't TOO high for the install. I would wont that writing signed by a Judge though LOL. I have a few others I can take my car too as well that I trust.

So if parts a wanted through Import Parts and are happy with me organising it, PM what you want and i'll email them to get prices (shipped to QLD and or VIC).
