Default Would definitely buy from again- F.I.

First off I'd like to apologize to Tony @ F.I. for waiting so long on writing this review since I got my F.I. LTH's & Cat-back.

I would just like to say the customer service given by Fast Intentions was amazing. All the way from helping me decide on what I should get to helping me with installation assistance over the phone on his time off. As many have already said the craftsmanship on these items are some of the best I've seen and they sound better than I even imagined once installed on my Z. But the best part was still the customer satisfaction given by Tony that is very rare to come by from other vendors.

I would most definitely buy from Fast Intentions again and I encourage anyone else who is interested in aftermarket exhausts to give these guys a call. Thanks again Tony.

I haven't received mine yet, but the support I got just from ordering them and reading all the posts from people and their satisfaction, speaks volumes about the type of great support that can be expected of a superior vendor.

Would you maybe be willing to do a sound clip of the lth and cbe, this is the exact setup that I want. I don't want to have to mess with test pipes or hfc's or anything, just a really free flowing design. I would love to hear how it sounds if you have to time!

Which CBE setup are you looking for, I have vids on my youtube channel for the LTH + 18" Res CBE if that's what you're going for.

Whilst i can't say the exhaust sounds bad, i can say that a lot of the sound you're hearing is distortion, do not take that as being how beastly it sounds.

People need to make sure that when recording exhausts, they keep the microphone out of the exhaust gas, the movement of air is greater than most realise and it distorts recording equipment a lot.

Between twin exhausts like this, believe it or not, is still not a good place, imagine a cone out from the exhausts as to where the speedy gas goes.

I find off to the side is always a good place, or elevated around head height.

Never thought of that. I'll make sure to keep that in mind. I was waking up early for work so my mind was half asleep still haha
