Good morning guys! Just wanted to make a little post to introduce myself, my name is Blake and I am the newest addition to F.I. Inc. I have known Tony and Danny for quite some time, ever since I purchased my CBE/TPs from them for my G37. Believe it or not I actually had the first set of CF mufflers ever! Well times changed and I moved on from my G37, and got out of the car scene for a little while. Fast forward a few years and I picked up a 370Z.. I had not talked to Tony in a while however we still had a good relationship. I jumped on the forums and PMd Tony for a price on an CF CBE, and TPs. We got to talking and long story short, my car was chosen as the prototype TT car. While we were going through the paces on the TT kit, we (Tony, Danny, and I) started talking about a job opportunity. I have always had a passion for cars, and ultimately knew I wanted to be in this industry however easier said than done just walking away from a job that was paying me well. I went through some injuries and personal things and actually ended up more or less losing my job because of these issues. Some time had gone on since we had discussed the possible job, but when speaking with Tony I asked him if the offer is still on the table to bring me in for sales/marketing and shipping/receiving. After some talking to ensure we were all on the same page they decided to bring me in! I am very excited to be here and look forward to being able to provide as much support for you guys as possible. I am being brought up to speed as quickly as possible and hope to be able to answer ANYTHING you can throw at me shortly. I will also do my best to bring the updated build/ship list back in the near future as I know how much everyone appreciated that. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me directly and I will do my best to personally answer it.

Thank you, Blake

Omar at Uprev even said they dyno tune in 4th on the AT . Would have loved to have surpassed that 300 mark... but oh well, i realize that I'm losing ~10% hp via the torque converter and a few hp in my Takeda CAI vs. Stillen's. Either way, I'm still in love with the exhaust regardless and the butt dyno definitely approves!

Because we could always use another sound clip...

Thanks again Tony. Took my time, with no lift, about an hour and a half. Easy as can be ZERO problems. I don't know that anything automotive has ever went this smooth. Instructions, hardware, packaging all top notch.

Now if there wasn't two feet of snow on the ground....

In that case let's hear that exhaust note while drifting around in some snow!

I have the same set up coming, plus hfc's! I'm even more excited after hearing that sound clip.

I'll be giving Tony a call shortly to change my order for HFC's to resonated TP's! I WANT BEAST SOUND!

Then go with long tube headers and non-res catback.

Na that'll be too loud for my taste. I think the resonated tp's to go with my 18 in. resonated cbe should give me that little extra volume I want over the HFC's.

One question guys, I don't know if this has been discussed before, there are too many pages in this thread to read. The stock exhaust has two flexible sections on each side, the F.I. doesn't have any, is there a chance of breaking the exhaust for being to rigid?

I doubt it, i've never heard of that happening. There's something like 700 exhaust units out there with no reports of this.

That's on the stock Y pipe.. which the FI exhaust eliminates. Nothing to worry about.

I actually prefer exhausts that don't have the flexible sections. My last car had an aftermarket exhaust with flexible sections, and those areas were the first places to deteriorate, rust, and fail. Granted, my car was exposed to several harsh winters in upstate New York and North Dakota. The freezing temperatures and salty roads no doubt played a factor in my exhaust's early demise. It's just something to keep in mind if you live in an area with extremely cold climates.

If you live in a warm climate, you won't have to worry about this.
