Holy crap... that's like 2 or 2 and a half hours of work for someone who knows what they're doing. I'd say $180 an hour is a little pricey.

Just for reference, me and worm are about an hour and a half away from each other.

Do it yourself. The system was straight forward and beside the biggest thing is u don't need to mod anything to fit right. Took me like 3 hours to install my test pipe and catback. Give it a try! And save the money of diff mods!:)

^ Good call if you have the tools and space to do it

I'm 594 scheduled for November week 1. That's 42 CBE's away. Non-resonated, carbon cans. The wait kills.

I ordered mine the other day too CBE w/18 resonators and the hfc. You must have called right after I hung up with Tony, Im #599. I feel like a kid on Christmas I'm ready to open my present!!!

When installing the catback, do the bolts need to be torqued to a certain foot pound or just tight?

In case you missed it in my thread, here's my stock vs. FI exhaust video. Thanks to KaienZ34 for swapping mid-pipes with me. :tup: Big thanks to Tony for answering every question I could come up with.

^was the non res too loud? I'm on the fence about resonated cbe vs non. I will be sticking with stock cats and just drop in filters.

Looks like resonated is quiet. I can deal with minor drone.

I'm thinking about switching to non resonated before it ships.

Any input guys/girls?

I never had the non-resonated installed so I can't speak too much to how loud it is but from what Tony told me, it primarily effects cabin noise. It's not going to make a dramatic difference in how loud it is outside of the car.

My long term plan is to go with resonated HFCs and a Stillen G3 so I felt like the non-resonated exhaust would just be too much for me. They sound awesome in the videos I've seen but the over-the-top drone with my target setup and a non-resonated FI would probably start to annoy me after a while.

^Really? Sound is sound. How can you make it quieter in the cabin without making it quieter(is this a word?:)) on the outside(what ppl hear).

Why is Kaizen going non resonated? I am assuming he want more roar on the outside.

Non res is a lot of roar outside lol my friend who lives about 1/2 to 3/4 mile away from me hears me start up and leave my house from his house.

If you've ever heard an exhaust that has a bad drone inside the cabin, you'd know that resonators can make a dramatic difference in how loud it is inside. That's why they're basically right under the center console of the car. That doesn't always translate into a huge difference in how loud it is when it comes out of the tail pipe.

From the Fast Intentions website:

My resonated rattles the inside of my fireplace when I start the car in the morning. It wakes my GF up when I start it every morning and she's on the other side of the house. :)

So if the resonated and non res sound the same on the outside, why would anyone want drone on the inside?

The other side of the house vs 1/2 mile down the road is a big difference.

Am i missing something?
