I have installed over 60 systems myself and never had an issue and I have no doubt that you will love it! Whichever options you decide to go with. One last note, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to call me directly... Thank you, Tony

Quick Question...
(setup ordered: FI CBE non resonated, non resonated TP as well.) I ordered my FI exhaust last week. Listening to vids and doing my research, I was pretty certain I knew what I wanted. I talked to tony and solidified everything over the phone. My initial thoughts were that I wanted to really wake this car up. Reading all this drone rattle business didnt really get me worried but I figured why not take the opportunity to ask you guys, since you have it installed already, is it anything Im going to need earplugs for? I like a loud exhaust, but I dont want to be droned out of my car (which from what I read and saw I dont think will be an issue.) However like I said better safe than sorry... From what Im expecting Ill have some drone but minimal, and minimal rasp... anyone care to jump in here and fill in the blanks with some solid experience?

the only time I get any sort of drone is when the engine is under load... going up inclines, or slightly increasing speed... as soon as I settle at a speed... the sound is gone. I don't have any vibrations. I have the ART pipes with the F.I. CBE with 18" resonators.

The one thing I wanted to avoid, was installing my system and wishing it were louder. The one great thing that I see so far coming from F.I., is the fact that they have many sound options for their systems from extremely refined, to a throaty race exhaust. I'm sure Im going to love the system I ordered once installed!... I CAN NOT WAIT!! |

I said it before and I will say it again. I still get hard every time I start it up! Take it out for a spirited drive and that's all she wrote.

I'm in the same boat. I bought the F.I. 12" system and while it sounds great on the outside of the car, the drone inside around 3K RPMs is terribly annoying. I also get the rattling sound from the drone. I also think the exhaust tone is a bit too much for my neighbors. Any suggestions to tone it down some and get rid of the drone sound in the cabin?

FI 12" CF CBE with Motordyne Art pipes. Some drone but not overly unbearable. Interior and exterior sound is top notch. Just took my Z on a 6 hour trip and I had no issues with the drone

I'm trying to see if someone wants to swap with me for 18" ones - Fast Intentions 18" Resonators swap for 12" Resonators
Do the ART pipes really help with the drone noise? I don't plan on getting CF canisters. |
