Also this, I believe I read somewhere that Tony at FI welded some skid plates to the edge of the Cans to keep them from being damaged, you should look into this. You'll be scraping, but at least it's not your Cans!

Try hitting up Tony @ FI, maybe he has some insight to the skid plates. Can't hurt, worth a try I say. Just don't talk to him too long, he still needs to fabricate my CBE

Why not. All you need is an angle bracket to be attached to the SS part of the can, or the pipe and then angle across the CF. At least in my mind that's how I'd do it. Obviously you can't weld to the CF.

He told me it was not possible either because of CF, but when I go the exhaust, I thought "hmm why could it be done in the way I described", but Tony might have a good explanation.

Anyway, I sold the exhaust because of the practicality of living in the new neighborhood. My car is lowered and the speedbumps are too gnarly for me too handle everyday.

Enjoy FI everyone lol. I'll return to FI either when I move or raise my car back up.

If someone is looking to buy the FI exhaust, I am still selling my place in line. Delivery would be around mid-May. Let me know.

From what I've noticed, they seem to ship out 5 per week on Fridays...just saw a pattern based upon who got their CBE for that week... of course I could be wrong. I know that it was up to 912 last week and the week before that, FI shipped out CBE up to 906 or so, so yea...It's getting close for us 920's! Good luck to everyone!
