My system was delivered Friday evening, and I finished installing it yesterday. Everything fit like a glove. Great workmanship on FI products and superb customer service! Having no experience with this type of removal and re-installation, I called Tony twice. He steered me in the right direction, and I was able to easily overcome the obstacles with my stock cats. For those who are on the fence in choosing an exhaust system, FI is second to none. The sound is nothing less than awesome!

James,

I am pleased to hear that all is well that ends well! First UPS and that debacle, and then the demon bolt. I am just glad that we were able to connect over the phone and get it all squared away.

Thank you for the support and feedback.

Tony

Couldn't have gotten that last demon bolt without you, Tony. I was apprehensive about disconnecting the steering knuckle. I've seen posts where others were not successful in reconnecting it causing a trip to the dealership. You took the time to walk me through it, and I have to say, it was easy. Once I got the knuckle out of the way, I was able to get a good bite on that last demon bolt! Broke the head right off of that sucker.

Thank you for your excellent business practices and customer service!

I'm curious. Percentage wise, which sizes FI sell the most? The 12", 18" or non-resonated?

I'm assuming it's 18"

Got my exhaust installed at the F.I. shop today and it is simply AMAZING! Tony himself did the whole installation and did an excellent job on it. I need an excuse to drive my car now. I went with non-res and it's music to my ears. Thank you for such wonderful and excellent service Tony! You'll definitely hear from me again!!

I said f*ck it! I just switched my order from 12" reson to non-resonated carbon fiber.

Non-resonated sounds wayyyyy too clean.

I guess I just gotta drive it at low revs to avoid attention.

14 more days!!

Demon bolt.... If you ordered cats "F" those 2 liitle bastards. Hit it with PB and get a big *** breaker bar and see what gives first. It's going to break or come out in the end they are out. Just drill it out and put a proper bolt in if you need to reinstall.

I used Kroil instead of PB. I don't think the lubricant was the issue. It was probably the thickness of my socket and the steering knuckle keeping the socket from sitting square on the bolt head. Once I moved the knuckle, it was an easy break.

Well, the day has finally come: I scraped my exhaust

It's a gen 1 I picked up used, but the previous owner had never scraped. I'm not lowered, but I cam across a line of bricks calling itself a speed bump. I was fine going up onto it, but the drop off coming down off of it was too much.

Fortunately it's only on the front of the mufflers so you can't see it from the rear. I hadn't had any other problems with speed bumps or driveways in about 3 months of driving. Still, I should've been more aware and maybe tried to hit that plateau at an angle.

Even at stock height and stock exhaust I'd always go at an angle, doesn't work every time but it helps. You should be fine as long as it didn't make a hole in the muffler(s) you'll be good to go.
