F.i lth..

someday · 06-08-2011, 08:07 AM

My car is tunned with the HFC and CBE.
I'm looking for something to gain more WHP.
Finally, I found the F.I LTH.
But, I wonder LTH would be
1. Louder sound than stock and HFC.
2. more Drone than stock and HFC.
3. without catalyzer, very bad smell

Please, give me some advice..

my advice is to search...

1. LTH is actually quieter than HFC.
2. Drone is subjective, but in my opinion no drone.
3. If you like the smell of exhaust or gasoline, you'll have no problems. If not, then I wouldn't recommend it. Standing behind the car while idling youll smell it. If you come up to a stop with the windows down, the draft will come forward and you'll smell it. I enjoy it myself, smells good... But again, that's personal dependance.

gasoline does smell good. smells better than candles imo.

Ask NewYorkJon34

He just installed them.

I went for a ride in it and it's nice and deep sounding, good growl, no real noticeable drone from what I could tell.

I love mine. They do have some slight drone and hiss. Nothing over the top though. It sounds mean when you let off the gas and it hisses. You can definitely smell it so don't get it if you live in an area where cops are real strict about emissions.

Love the sound and smell so no complatents... Maybe there's a hint of drone doesnt bug me

The drone will mostly come for the exhaust itself, not the headers. If you feel your exhaust currently drones with HFC, LTH will lessen it by changing the engines acoustic resonance. Generally, at idle, the 370 is a quiet car even with LTH and FI catback. So at idle, there wouldnt be any real percievable diference. At WOT, its a little louder. As for the smell... some like it, some dont. I will tell you if you get a lungfull of it youll feel lightheaded. Prolonged exposure behind your car and youll get nauseus. Afterall, the gasses are poisonous and can kill you. But thats not something for you to worry about really, you should just warn the people who eat your dust

I have to admit, there was a corvette (vert down) riding my arse last night. I was thoroughly enjoying lettting him inhale my exhaust fumes.

at idle the car if very near stock. It's great. I feel the slight drone when I let off the throttle. It's more pronounced with the LTH compared to CBE alone. It's still not bad. It was much worse with my S2000

If your worried about drone a pair of turbo's will quiet down the exhaust and add more power!

Just saying
