The One Millionth Fast Intentions Cat Back Review

zeecarr · 04-17-2010, 03:53 PM

chibbell, I wouldn't consider anyone else to do the job, Forged Performance really is that good. I have done business with alot of shops in the Portland area over the years, and I can't say enough good about these guys. As far as video goes, why do a video when nothing sounds realistic. In light cruise mode, the sound is very much like blowing across a beer bottle. Very deep and bassy. When you stab the throttle, it still has that "noise" everyone hears on the stock exhaust, however it is deeper and more serious. No pics of the car are posted because Tony builds a very consistent system, if you've seen one set of pics, you've seen them all. One thing I want to tell you all, The exhaust grows about 1/4 to 3/8 inch when hot versus cold. The tips won't stick out beyond the rear valance when cold, but do once you've driven a while. No big deal, metal expands when heated.

I may be able to do this...

I've got a pretty decent recorder (it's geared towards musicians, not video people, so the video is crap, but the sound is great). I'll probably do a before/after when I get my LTH put on, so that would give a pretty good idea of what the catback sounds like in multiple situations.
