Default To All Running FI Longtubes

I am considering getting a set of these headers but had just a few questions I hope to get answered here. I have berks HFC's and have had no check engine light issues at all (I know I will not be running these w the headers) So my question is has anyone had any check engine light issues w the headers and is anyone running these with the stock nismo exhaust. If so how do you like it and what power gains should I expect. Thanks for the help..

Had them on for a few hundred miles now. No CEL or codes, if you are throwing a code its probably a bad install. You can expect a noticeable increase in power and torque through the entire powerband

I'm running the FI LTH on my 2010 Nismo. No CEL or issues here- you won't be disapointed.

Take it from a vendor that doesn't sell Fast Intentions

I have FI LTHs with no codes, I believe Vipor has a Nismo with stock Nismo exhaust with the headers.

The only issue ive had with the LTH were obnoxiously loud startups and setting off car alarms No CEL issues, no O2 sensors falling out, no need to use steel wool or anything, just pure unadulterated exhaust noise and some really nice torque gains I have also put on roughly 8,000 problem free miles since owning them.

As long as the install is done correctly you WILL NOT get a CEL light. There are about 40 sets out there installed and some for well over 6 months. To the best of my knowledge, no one has a CEL light.

If you have any further questions or would like to place an order, please do not hesitate to call me directly...

Thank you, Tony

I've had them for a good while now and I drive a LOT. (>23k in 13 months)

Zero issues or CELs. They have that no-cat smell and they're raspy with the stock (Nismo) exhaust. Without a tune I've noticed a little lag below 3K RPM and occasional lulls depending on throttle position during acceleration. I'm very happy with my purchase and trust me, you will feel the difference.

Start on the driver side as it is the harder side.
