How's the rasp and hiss? FI says their RHFC does not have that problem.

Wanted to ask what the U Bent O2 sensor non-foulers do. Do they prevent the check engine light from coming on, which would otherwise happen due to increased exhaust flow?

Secondly, how do the 300 cell FI cats compare to the 200 cell cats from the likes of Berk/Erz/Stillen? Even better flow? Would they mate to the 2.5" TDX CBE?

Thirdly, I find the resonated catback still too quiet and civilised. Therefore I want to go with the non-resonated X-pipe. But in my quest for yet a little more exhaust noise, would the carbon mufflers help over the SS mufflers or do they sound the same? What about the 4.5" resonated tips? Looking at the Saclam exhaust tips, one can see slits as if they were non-resonated. Might this trick give them this orgasmic F1 sound track? Maybe a small DIY job might achieve the same. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your advice

1. Thank you for the compliment on our exhaust.

2. You are correct, our "J" bend style anti fouler keeps the CEL off.

3. There is a lot of confusion and miss quoted information out there about certain companies using "200 cell" cat cores. Aside of ERZ, I am nearly certain the other 2 are using 300 cell cat cores just like us. The difference is that we no longer use Magnaflow cat cores. We have not since the end of 2008. There were multiple reasons why we switched suppliers but the main factor was the quality. In the 5 years since we switched we have had less issues across the board. Our cats line up to either the stock exhaust or ours perfectly. They were designed to end in stock location.

4. If you are going to TT your car then you can go the route of non resonated x pipe and most likely not have it be too loud. The turbo's will act as primary mufflers and do a very effective job at cutting down the overall sound. The carbon fiber will sound a little louder and slightly higher pitched. More towards that F1 sound you are going for. As for our tips, they are a vital part to our system. Currently they are the only option that we offer.

I think that this covers it all for now. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Thank you, Tony

I ask that you be patient. Your lead time is 6-8 weeks from when you placed your order. We always do our best to build and ship on time and sometimes early.

Thank you, Tony

Regarding 3", I was explained 3" is good for Turbo setups that go beyond stock motor capabilities. And that 2.5" and 2.75" are sufiicient, i.e. no bottle neck, for the GTM MHI TT kit.
Apart from that, I ever only found their 2.5" TDX offered on F.I. web page, not any 3" version. But more importantly, I needa keep cats for emissions and FI only offers 3" test pipes as downpipes, yet 2.5" HFC downpipes

Hence, 2.5"

Our 3" exhaust will be a great fit for your TT application regardless if you have a stock engine or built. The 3" will help relieve all pressure on the back side of the turbo increasing exhaust velocity and allowing the turbo's to spool faster. Sure, 2.5" will work just fine, especially for the over level you plan on being at.

We do have a full 3" setup. I have sold almost 2 dozen, but never got around to putting it up on our website. It will be on the new website which should be launched shortly. For now, here is a link to our 3" exhaust thread:

Fast Intentions 3" (Twin Turbo) exhaust is here!

Thanks, Tony

The "hiss" is prominent on all aftermarket Test Pipes and High Flow Cats for this car. We claim that our HFC's/RHFC's do not have rasp (in conjunction) with our exhaust system!

Thanks, Tony

Hiss comes from the motor, not TPs or HFCs or CBEs. Some exhaust components mitigate it to not being noticed, but in a free exhaust it's there.

Some like it, some don't. Personally, I love it. I think it sounds like a pissed off snake on decel.

I torture boosted cars with it.

I have the LTH's and 18" res CBE, and honestly, I barely have any rasp whatsoever that is not associated with having straight pipes. It's not honda rasp, its like Because Racecar rasp. Crisp and raw.

Just installed my 18" resonated SS system. Unfortunately, it started to rain right as I was taking her down off the jackstands

Still, loved the sound during the first start. Can't wait to take her down the interstate to see what it sounds like then.

One thing I have to note is my 2012 Z didn't have the evap canister cover installed

Spent about 10 mins trying to figure out what to remove before I realized it wasn't there. Anyway, wondering if the Z stopped coming with the cover or did the previous owner remove it. My car didn't show signs of mods when I bought her, but maybe I'm wrong. Though the PITA nut on the Y-pipe seems to support the no-mod theory.

Looking at the invoice where is the number so I can tell how far away I am? I just ordered last week and know the quoted time is 6-8 weeks. I am very patient and in no rush, but curious.

It's the PO# in the upper right section. Don't get impatient. I ordered on November 12th and made 9 weeks today. I won't see my setup till maybe the first week of February. The holidays slowed them down, and I would rather know they are not rushing orders to catch up. We are paying for quality craftsmanship, so the wait is worth it.

What number are you?
I ordered mine December 16th, I'm 904. I'm hoping to get it by mid February.
