The Melbourne F.I Club.
 
Hey guys,

Just ordered my F.I system.

18" res and carbon fiber mufflers.

I've already got Berk HFC's on my car which my dad installed in under 2 hours. What a gun!.

Anyways reason for my post, if anyone wants to come listen they can. Ill keep this space updated with photos and clips as they come in.

re The Melbourne F.I Club.
 
hey mate, where abouts are you, im very interested in buying a aftermarket exhaust shortly for my Z - but not sure which brand to buy.

I want something that has a fair growl - not a drone. Its not supposed to sound like a 4cyl after all.

do you mind PM'ing me the cost of the muffler, the resonator and the HFC's?

anyone else interested in group buying something in the near future?

I'm happy to recommend the HiTech system ... fitted to my car with Stillen hreaders and BERK metallic cats ... works a treat (and the sound in the Eastlink tunnel is just music - a bit like the Hendrix "All Along the Watchtower" riff - glorious music !!).

RB - lair at heart !!!

ooo Im in for hearing the F.I zorst! Time and place im there.

Really keen on the F.I's but have never seen or heard them in person, gotta get bezzita to come as well so i can compare the 18" and 12" lol

EVL370 05-11-2010 06:46 AM

Well I'm won over by the 18's. If i was running stock cats I would of gone 12s

I've ordered the F.I (#137) 18" carbon fiber with the f.I. resonated hfc-pipes. Tony reckons it'll be done by the 1st week of June (the latest) so I should have it fitted about mid June.

I've also got soundproofing booked to be installed right after. Why? Cause I've sat in both bezzita's and waqar's cars and the drone made me
wanna hurl :(

EVL370 05-11-2010 09:18 AM

majestik that combo you ordered should sound fairly deep. I couldnt do the 12inch res in my area. I border Mill Park, No deal.

I'm not a fan of the hiss, however I cant outrun it with HFC's

Yeah, the hiss has me a little concerned too.

I'm seriously contemplating doing the cbe first and hfc-pipes after a 'sound test'.

I heard that the bloody EPA mailed Waqar a surprise and I don't want to be on their mailing list...

Mr370z 05-11-2010 08:30 PM

Great news mate! Keep in mind though that its a July/August delivery for new 2010 Z's in quartz and bordeoux and a 8-12 week wait on F.I. (excluding delivery).

Don't do what I did and not mentally prepare for the wait...

Yep got bloody EPA letter

too much hassle just for a noise test. Don't coppers have anything else to do other then noting down rego of loud cars on busy intersections :s

**** Waqar are you serious!!!?
Whats the letter say??

Im putting F.I Resonated Test Pipes on my car next week hahaha but with stock exhaust still so should be alright, unless they test the emissions :S

I didnt know they were that anal!?

EVL370 05-12-2010 01:02 AM

Hey gromano

Sorry to knock your Resonated Test Pipes however whats the point??

Is a couple of HP worth the ball braking if you get pulled over or EPA?

I mean your got Resonated so sound isnt on the cards.
