I have been dying to get my hands on the Fast Intenions 18" CF exhaust and I finally have!! I've never actually heard it in person but from speaking to Tony, some YouTube videos which actually do the exhaust no justice whatsoever, and from what I've heard from members, I concluded that this is the ideal and best setup.
They put the car up on the lift, installed the system and lowered it back down then started it up for the first time. OH MY, what a sound!! When the tech started it, I had the stupidest grin on my face because I was just taken away by the sound. Just goes to show you how terrible the stock system is, if you own a Z and have the stock exhaust your missing out on a whole new experience. From what I've heard and seen, F.I. is by far the best sounding system out there in terms of sound/performance/appearance/craftsmanship.
From the time I got in my car after the install until I got to my house, I still had the stupidest grin on my face from symphony of the exhaust. Initially when I started her up it sounded so aggressive. When I left the shop, on the drive home I decided to make use of the paddle shifters as I have a 7AT. I kid you not, I was coming to a stoplight where a group of about 3-4 people were casually walking, and the 3rd to 2nd gear downshift scared the hell out of them lol, they stopped walking and turned around and stared at me haha. Let me tell you, Imo one of the most epic things about this system are the downshifts.
All in all I couldn't have been anymore satisfied with the product. It just produces such a beautiful sound that is second to none. It is not obtrusively and annoyingly loud, but rather a smooth and deep exotic type sound. The CF cans I love, look great and sound great. The techs who installed them were loving the CF mufflers and complenting them.
If you are looking for an exhaust and you haven't at least inquired or thought about Fast Intentions or at least give Tony a call, your making a mistake I may tell you. I'm very extremely pleased with the setup, it is better than I expected it to be. I find myself jamming the throttle and cracking my windows open in the 40 degree weather here more often just to hear the noise! Thanks Tony very much for the communication and help, I really appreciate it.
Sorry my car is very dirty...
