Not sure. You would have to ask Tony @ Fast Intentions. This is what he stated from his own words at MyG37.com:
The Carbon Fiber is not an overlay. It is the actual case to the muffler. It is for aesthetics and weight savings...

He stated around ~25 lbs over stock.

I know. But that wasn't what you were referring to and what I was replying to. 3" is fine for turbo's cars. But not for naturally aspirated vehicles. And 4"? I haven't even heard of forced induction vehicles using that sort of piping for the VQ.

Yep. I have the older version (stainless steel, oval mufflers). I got a hell of a deal for it (almost free
) from a friend.

Also, hopefully I can get a hold of one for testing purposes.
Welds do look good.
Also, where are you getting your information?

I've been around the G boards (G35driver, moderator) and Myg37.com (though im not that active there) for a while. I always do alot of research into a product before I pull the gun. And the Fast Intentions exhaust was just top notch in comparison to other exhausts out there. Ofcourse, the subjective areas of the exhaust will always vary from person to person.
I also have their resonated test pipes, which are also great quality pieces. The resonators are excellent and the welding is just very professional.
You can look into the Fast Intentions exhaust at Fastintentions.com or, for more information at the G37 boards (
