Fast Intentions exhaust is here! (continued)

I am sure FI can comment on this with statistics to back it up, but based off my feverous reading (and re-reading) through this post, it seems like more people went with 18" reso.

However, it really varies because many of them also had HFC or headers, so it seemed like adding modifications affected the reso they went with.

Unfortunately for me living in California, any changes to the cats are illegal, so I went with non-res SS to get the best bang for my buck.

Does anyone have some really good quality videos of the 3 options, non-res, 12" and 18". I have watched countless videos online from cell phones, or a decent digital camera. Anyone have links to a near professional video/sound quality. I feel like I'm at a point where they all the videos sound the same. I do have a crystal clear understanding of the differences in theory. Ideally the bet way to find out is hearing them in person.

Fast Intentions or anyone else in SoCal, might be a long shot, but do you have 3 Z's you can hear in person? (option 1)


(option 2) There is a SoCal Z rally up Angels Crest May 31st. Anyone gonna be there with FI CBE?





Thanks,
Ben

i was in your shoes about a year ago. looking at all the videos and reviews i could. tony helped me make up my mind. he asked how do you think your car is now as far as sound? i felt is was way to quiet so he suggested non res. i was leaning that way anyways. i've never regretted that decision. ill admit after it was installed and i fired up my car the first time it was a bit overwhelming. just cause i had a real exhaust. i love it. i also went with the carbon fiber and happy i did. i just traded my car for a 2015 nismo. i couldnt believe how quiet is was even with the nismo exhaust on it. i had to wait a week before i got my F.I swapped over. that entire week it sounded like i was driving a prius!

Ya, FI has done a wonderful job explaining it to me and I believe I will be going down the 18" res path, however I do not want to have it and after a couple months be like...maybe it should be louder. At the same time i don't want it to loud. everyone seems sooo happy with every single version LOL!

Would like to purchase an 18" cbe with hfc. How much would it be shipped to 02118?

You can find out more info on their website, or just call them. They will be able to answer all of your questions; they have great customer service.

I have noticed all of the FI videos have cut the sound. There is no way to un-mute the video.

I have spoken to Kevin who is AWESOME! he helped explain it all to me. I am just OCD and super anal about my Z's and want to be sure the dB and note is exactly what I like.

I heave non-res and straight pipe vids from an iphone. but now that you have interest in the 18" I doubt my vids would help you lol

I have interest in all of them. It just sounds like I might want the 18 based the description of the sound. I would use videos but they are now blending together lol

cooltoy

18 is plenty loud and just under the legal dB level. I am not disappointed with mine. Even 18 turns heads.

any variation of this system sounds absolutely amazing. 100% fact.

little tweaks to your choice in set-up is all just personal preference.

Perfect!

Thank you and thanks everyone. I think 18" is the best way to go (for me at least)

Like they said, you can't really go wrong with an FI system. And if you change your mind on the resonators you want, you can change your order (up to a certain point) with them.

When you call to place your order, find out what exhaust system # they are building at the moment. Many of us are anxious to know

I give everyone props for waiting so long. I know when i order mine im am going to be obsessing over when mine will be ready... Has to be tough especially when other vendors can get you one same day. Def speaks well to FI reputation and respect in the Z community.

Worth the wait
