No drilling/cutting necessary. This is a complete out of the box install. SERIOUSLY EASY AS WELL! MAD DAPS TO TONY FOR AN AMAZING PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE!

If I'm understanding your question correctly: Yes, the area where the two tubes are welded together is completely opened up to allow passage from one exhaust bank to the other. We utilize this X Pipe technology over a traditional H Pipe designs because it is much more efficient at balancing exhaust pulses between the left and right bank throughout the entire RPM range. This more efficient range of scavenging leads to more power and torque.

No cutting or welding is done by the customer. All of our TDX Cat Back Exhausts are ready to bolt on straight out of the box with simple hand tools. I hope this answers your question.

#1038 Installed

Outstanding fitment, no shimming was necessary.

Installation was extremely easy took about 1.5 hours, only bump I ran into was removing the evap canister cover. After a couple beers and 5 minutes of looking at it- I realized that my 2014 sport didn't have one lol.

My Z FINALLY sounds like its supposed to!

Thanks to everyone at F.I I will be a returning customer for sure.

My 2012 base+sport didn't have the heat shield for the evap canister either. I wonder which years came with them.

There is an oval cut out in the X pipes, approximately 3"x1.5".

cooltoy · 10-27-2014, 08:44 PM

Well since FI is based in California, I would figure that they would make an exhaust that would be legal in their state, but I could be wrong.

Sounds like you would want 18" res.

They do sound good.

Lol I was complimented by a cop here in Northridge, CA. Probably from the same precinct where another officer stopped next to me and questioned me about my missing front plates.

I will be in the market next year for a NR set. Can hardly hear to car stock.
