Fast Intentions exhaust is here! (continued)

Stssjester · 08-26-2014, 10:38 PM

Anyone in San Diego area that has FI HFC's and any type of FI CBE I can meet to understand the sound and DB levels to make an informed decision before mine ships in a month or so... I ordered FI HFC'S and CF CBE with no resonators... I am willing to drive to you... Let me know.

Yeah, but on pearl white it is bad a$$. In daylight there is no problem seeing the cf cans (have the same, congrats on the install)

Plus there aren't as many cf exhausts. Makes it even better.

Thanks all. I am not complaining. It looks and sounds great. I am sure I will get used to the sound level and it should get some what quiter once it wears in.

On my next drive to SD, I will let you know. Going to Santee, CA and Mission Valley sometime in Sept I think.

I have NR HFC and NR CF CBE.

Seemed much quitter this morning (almost too quite

). I don't know how long it takes to wear in (It's been on for a week).

I am not sure if air temperature has to do with how an exhaust sounds, but it was warmer in the morning today then yesterday.

Strongly considering placing an order.

Just read back a few pages of posts. After that you probably won't be considering anymore.

I forgot the amount of miles Tony mentioned before there is about a 5% decrease in sound, but maybe you have passed that now.

cooltoy · 08-27-2014, 10:07 PM

Could be. I drive about 70 miles in a weekday, so about 350 miles since the install.

Seems like more than 5% (how does one even quantify that), but I like it, I like it a lot. I was having some small amount of buyers remorse. No anymore.

cooltoy, your exhaust will break in nicely. I've had my 18" CF #830 since this past NOV and its amazing, cant get enough of that sound

Buyers remorse because it was too loud?

cooltoy · 08-27-2014, 10:16 PM

Yes. The first few days it was louder then I was hoping and the wife was complaining. But today it was perfect. Lets see how it sounds tomorrow.

I knew it was going to get quieter, but was not sure by how much.

cooltoy · 08-28-2014, 12:00 AM

Better look at the cans in the sun.

Could be your "ear dyno" telling you how awesome it sounds now.

And any buyers remorse for me that existed disappeared after the cold start at the shop and wasn't even a thought after the test drive after the install. And forget about the drive home or the last six plus months of ear orga$ms I have experienced. Just saying
