Ahhhh! I'm order number 1534. Expected arrival date between 12/26 and 1/9. I'm so excited I've already got the installed and tune scheduled at Soho.

Just curious if there have been any design changes in the exhaust regarding clearance. Mine is from 2011. Have there been any revisions to increase ground clearance since then? I got coilovers and am a bit low in the rear now after corner balancing and am scraping the canisters more often than when I was just running Swfts. Just curious if the design has changed at all in regards to clearance since my 2011 version before I decide on wether or not to raise my ride height and re-corner balance.

There is a version 2 now, which has the same clearance as the lowest point of the car. If you have version 1, then it is ~3/4 inch lower.

I am not 100% sure, but I think the switch was made in 2012.

You scrape? From my understanding these have the same clearance as the stock exhaust.

brucelidat · 11-28-2016, 01:57 PM

Only because I am pretty low now after getting coilovers and getting corner balanced. I rarely scraped when i was just lowered on Swifts.

Installed my catback from FI last Tuesday, very pleased with the sound and look! Super simple as well!

#1543 here... 5 more weeks until my expected ship date! WOOOO!

M2014RN · 11-29-2016, 11:11 PM

PJ23 and Sumo, you two are going to be amazed at the sound this CBE produces. Exotic!!!

I went with the non-resonated version since this is not my daily driver. My radio has been off the whole time...the sound is so amazing! Like others in previous posts, this is the sound that our cars should have had all along...

Best wishes! You two will most certainly enjoy your purchase decision!!!

I don't know what to tell you bud. After considerable research on this site, I'm still on the fence regarding forced induction - and just how many modifications I will perform on this car. Decisions, decisions.

Don't go with forced induction! It will eat rear tires, cause a stupid grin on your face and it makes the FI exhaust come really alive. If you do, do it right and don't skip all of the mods needed. I'm going on 3K miles now of the boosted life and it is a BLAST. Nothing like having 305 size rear tires and being easily able to break them loose at 90+mph. Really!

You just can't imagine the transformation that come with the FI exhaust, a super charger and a tune by Seb at SpecialtyZ. Wow, what a car.

I'm going to stick with my Motordyne, but I got to hear a fast intentions 18res setup the other day (stock cats) and it was pure exotic sexiness! almost enough to get me to change. Almost. I love the deep burbliness of the e370 too much to give it up. Cant' wait to hear how it sounds with the SC!!

When I talked to Kevin @ FI about switching to non-res he did note that with the non-res Xpipe, that it will be LOUD with a cat delete. Just something to consider

I myself am going with the Resonated FI HFC's after the TDX comes in
