Reserved for Fast Intentions Exhaust Review.

Here are some videos i did yesterday after i had the Fast Intentions - Resonated Test Pipes, Cat Back and Carbon Fibre Mufflers installed on Friday. I am going to do a full write up here next Monday after i have given the system a chance to burn in and go back to the Installer to get all the bolts etc. checked that everything is all OK.

A quick first impressions though. This is quite a LOUD set up. If you drive aggressively 100% of the time, no doubt you will piss off your neighbours LOL. Mind you this is not a bad thing at all and Tony has mentioned with the RTP's it was going to be loud. At first it was LOUDER than i expected, but that is comparing it to other cars i have had previously.

Now that i have driven it a few times it certainly has grown on me and i have learned to drive with/around the loudness of it. Example, say driving down my own home street. I don't give it hard acceleration, i sort of just roll with the revs if that makes sense.

As for extra power, we did do a quick Dyno run and it netted us with 295hpatw. There was a minimum increase of at least 10hp across the board. The other good thing is the ECU has "Learned" from the last Dyno run also. As the AFR's are now spot on. I didn't get the printout as i wanted to give it a week of driving and when i go back for the check up will get it done then. Will also add pictures later also.

So heres a the Cold Start Up. I did this yesterday morning around 0830 and don't forget this just from a point and shoot camera. It still does give a good idea of the sound to be expected. You do need to turn up the Volume though

This first one starts in an underground car park, then onto a normal road with cruise set @60km in 5th gear.

This one is going onto the highway with hard acceleration in 2nd-3rd gear. Then i set cruise @100km in 6th gear.
