Ex Fast Intentions users??

insideabox · 08-16-2018, 05:38 PM

Just curious if anyone here has switched from their Fast Intentions CBE and what other CBE you switched to and your thoughts? Love my FI CBE but wondering if there’s anything else out there that sounds just as good but not obnoxious or raspy and want some feedback from people that have had the same exhaust as me.

I have Art Pipes and Stillen Gen 3 intakes as well in case people wanted to know what my setup was.

I always get comments with my FI, all depends with having to run at events with noise restrictions, my FI is 18" resonators / Stillen Gen 3 / Z1 Headers and test pipes also resonated

The rasp/hiss isn't from the CBE. It's the cats. I've got the ART pipes also and hisses on decel, but that's just part of it. Some people have it even with HFC. The only way to get rid of the rasp is put the stock cats back on. Again, nothing to do with the FI CBE.

if it's raspy/obnoxious what is your FI setup?

and honestly i am trying but i cant think of anyone i've talked to that ever switched back to anything else after having FI lol

I would suggest getting F.I. long tube headers. If you do that, you will want resonators in the exhaust. The best sounding exhaust I ever heard was a F.I. CB with 18" resonators, carbon fiber mufflers, and F.I. Long tube headers.

oooooooooor if you want all the rasp and obnoxiousness.......you can go with the FI system completely straight piped like me

One person did switch, but he is then only one here that I have heard of.

I think he had "Old Man" disease. He is on here some where.

Sounds right. I knew it was a user name with "Old" in it.

LOL, it was barncobob. Different strokes for different folks. I do not have any resonators and I do get some drone at around 70mph, I never drive at that speed though. LOL

my stock Nismo exhaust is just fine with me, i can actually converse with someone at anything over 2800 rpm..i quit bashing FI, you young guys will figure it out when you cant hear.
