FWIW, if you want a more subdued look get the CF cans... they almost dissapear under the car and are even lighter than the SS cans.

Stillen has great gains on the dyno, i like my system but it def needed some adjusting.. chances are if you go out in your driveway, throw the stillen on, it wont be the last time you mess with it...

Other than that it satisfies me.. The power that FI and Stillen makes seems pretty much spot on and there are a bunch of dynos from customers on here to prove that... The fastest 1/4 mile Z on this board has stillen exhaust so it cant be all that bad.

There are also systems such as the greddy SE, that I have seen/heard in person that is also a good choice. The fit was PERFECT and looks great if you like burnt tips. Not sure of the power though but the sound is also very unique and deep , the quality on the greddy def seemed top notch , but i wasnt a fan of the price or burnt tips.

But it seems like every single customer of FI is more than pleased with their product and the service that they recieve and that speaks volumes.

I am however 100% satisfied with my stillen exhaust, intake, and pulley.

This thread is one hell of a conincidence....XBig...I was just wondering about this the other night....Then I figured it all comes down to preference combined with top nouch customer service....

As Dreamer mentioned...if you do go back to the 350 age I can vouch that the FI Style as far as looks was very popular...It is still a hot item for many 350 owners here on Guam.

Although I prefer the sleeper look, I have realized one thing....Tony and FI have great customer service...He is very active on this forum, and has kept in touch with his clients and members of this board...I have to say that his Customer Service and contact with his clients is what has led to the sucess of his products and company....I wish I could say the same for the company which I ordered my exhaust from....

Not hating on any other companines out there, I'm just saying what I have seen first hand....Although I purchased my exhaust from a different company because of personal preference issues, I have to say Tony and FI have the most important thing down....TOP NOTCH CUSTOMER SERVICE AND CORRESPONDENCE....

From a Non FI Customer (At this point)....+1 to Tony and FI....Keep up the good work Tony...and congrats on all your success...You're top notch Customer Service only strengthens your confidence in your products!

Thank you!

The bottom line is, you treat others how you want to be treated. I am a consumer just like all of you and poor customer service will drive me away faster than anything else.

I love the look of this catback. However, it'll be a couple months, possibly longer until I get one myself because I just picked up my Z and don't have $1100 yet :-(

Bottom line: It looks and sounds like a solid product. They've got me convinced.

I got no problems with the FI exhaust, but it does sound the same as most aftermarket 370z exhausts...Its not better or worse than most. Never did make sense why it is so popular, I guess it also has a lot to do with the familiarity of FI to Z owners...I think lots of people got it just because FI makes it...

Quality looks good, sounds good, fits good. Its a good exhaust, but I still prefer the way mine sounds and looks. I don't like the way the tips look either....youre not crazy. Carbon fiber mufflers? Am I the only one who finds that tacky?

Nope...As I personally don't care for the CF and would rather go with the SS canisters when it comes down to an FI exhaust...But that's just me...This is another plus to FI for having this option which could be another explaination as to why they are so popular and successful...

I have a few friends that are Carbon Fiber freaks...and must have anything and everything that is Carbon Fiber....Having this as an option opens the gates for FI to touch bases with those who love the Carbon Fiber look....FI is the only ones that I have seen and know of so far that have CF as an option...From a sales point, it makes a lot of sense...The more options the more vast amount of customers you attract...This also applies to other parts of their exhaust parts...12" vs 18" Resonated Vs. Non Resonated etc. etc....Since buying an exhaust has a lot to do with preference, FI has the most options

Our exhaust is one of the only exhaust with double welded caps to ensure no leaks even with FI

Alex,

I am assuming that you are referring to (FI) as in force induction. What does double welding your end caps have to do with my system? You confused me on that statement, please elaborate...

Thank you, Tony

I also have nothing but good things to say about F.I. and Tony. I haven't been able to tot up the funds to purchase the system yet, but when i had some concern regarding a silencer for the system (to lay low from the popos, no need to add unwanted attention with a flashy, noisy car) Tony, chimed in almost immediately and offered me the possibility of a tailored exhaust system for me. To me the prompt reply (customer service), the ravings about gains and quality, the relative price and limitless possibilities with this company really sets it apart from the others.

Like others have said... F.I was on the scene at the right place at the right time. Stillen was the first "must-have" exhaust on the scene, but there were countless fitment issues amongst other things. Berk was the next must have but as we have seen, they were too late to get their exhaust out and once people started receiving them, they arrived with fitment issues or received the wrong parts. Total fail. But F.I was there in the middle of the Stillen and Berk fiasco with a top notch product at a resonable price and kick *** customer service. How could they NOT be popular.

I still to this day love the way the Stillen exhaust sounds but F.I just wins on so many levels. This is all my opinion but I think others feel the same. It looks the best, sounds the best, shows the best gains, never had a fitment issue yet, great customer service, and on and on and on.
