Fast Intentions w/18" Resonators Impressions + Video

roplusbee · 03-21-2012, 03:07 PM

Took us about 3 hours at Mike's due to having to cut one of the demon bolts out. Once the demon was exercised, it took all of 15 mins (with time for beer).

Just kidding, thanks.

That's just to protect your eyes from my ugly mug.

1. This is my current debate, I have the headers, and would prefer to go turbo one day myself. As soon as FI's kit goes full production.

2. I can agree with you there, but you could get a Catted Y-Pipe made if you wanted, I think Motordyne does it if I'm not mistaken. But I can understand your discomfort with Cali's over-anal car laws.

3. They did work together, just the problem was the SC couldn't move enough air to keep the system produing power through the powerband. It's not a problem of SC+Header. The SC just needs to be bigger to allow for the increased flow with the freer flowing exhaust. As for the Stage II decable, there has still not been any definiative proof posted as they don't work. Don't let anyone fool you. No one has ordered both and tested to see if yes or no they haven't.

The SC/LTH setup just needs more tuning with a more powerful SC. But in theory, you could have the LTH's and a turbo if you wanted to try the STS kit.

Or any other Single Turbo setup.

Hmmm...

Is there information anywhere about FI turbo setup?

Nothing really yet! But I can tell you that its going to be sick and raise the bar for TT kits!! All the parts have been in and they are working on it! Stay tuned for a teaser thread very soon I would guess. I cant wait to get my car back!!

Sorry for the dumb question, but i got my FI catback used and i didn't get the heat wrap. How much would i need to get, where is the gas line that it goes on and does anyone have a pic of the line it goes on.

If you still have the instructions, it will show you the line. It's basically the line closest to the passenger side muffler. If not, buzz Tony and I am sure he will send you a copy of the instructions.

Cool deal man thanks.

I have no idea, but if it's going to be a good kit, and not a show kit, I would HIGHLY doubt it. No sense in all that extra piping in addition to the performance loss from moving the turbos away from their power source.

Speedy · 03-22-2012, 12:26 PM

I hear ya, just hate that the install is so involved.

Huck · 03-22-2012, 02:33 PM

So I may be out of the loop, but am I understanding correctly that Fast Intentions is developing a TT to work in conjunction with their other exhaust products?? That would be the balls!

They are developing a TT kit
They are developing a 3" exhaust system for their TT kit, GTM TT kit, and Greddy TT kit

The thread hasn't been made yet since it's not finalized, but we are inside 3> months from getting it in production I'm sure.

FI probably needs another test car, right ...
