I have been dying to get my hands on the Fast Intenions 18" CF exhaust and I finally have!! I've never actually heard it in person but from speaking to Tony, some YouTube videos which actually do the exhaust no justice whatsoever, and from what I've heard from members, I concluded that this is the ideal and best setup.
They put the car up on the lift, installed the system and lowered it back down then started it up for the first time. OH MY, what a sound!! When the tech started it, I had the stupidest grin on my face because I was just taken away by the sound. Just goes to show you how terrible the stock system is, if you own a Z and have the stock exhaust your missing out on a whole new experience. From what I've heard and seen, F.I. is by far the best sounding system out there in terms of sound/performance/appearance/craftsmanship. From the time I got in my car after the install until I got to my house, I still had the stupidest grin on my face from symphony of the exhaust. Initially when I started her up it sounded so aggressive. When I left the shop, on the drive home I decided to make use of the paddle shifters as I have a 7AT. I kid you not, I was coming to a stoplight where a group of about 3-4 people were casually walking, and the 3rd to 2nd gear downshift scared the hell out of them lol, they stopped walking and turned around and stared at me haha. Let me tell you, Imo one of the most epic things about this system are the downshifts. All in all I couldn't have been anymore satisfied with the product. It just produces such a beautiful sound that is second to none. It is not obtrusively and annoyingly loud, but rather a smooth and deep exotic type sound. The CF cans I love, look great and sound great. The techs who installed them were loving the CF mufflers and complenting them. If you are looking for an exhaust and you haven't at least inquired or thought about Fast Intentions or at least give Tony a call, your making a mistake I may tell you. I'm very extremely pleased with the setup, it is better than I expected it to be. I find myself jamming the throttle and cracking my windows open in the 40 degree weather here more often just to hear the noise! Thanks Tony very much for the communication and help, I really appreciate it. Sorry my car is very dirty...

But it's up to you, all I can tell you is 18" is loud enough IMO. The thing that sucks is to really tell the difference or get a sense of how loud these specific setups are you have to hear it in person. I watched almost every F.I. YouTube video and multiple times I might add, it just doesn't do the exhaust it's justice. I was quite surprised how loud mine was when I heard it.

The exhaust sounds better after it breaks in after a few starts and drives... it gets much more even and once everything is warmed up, you just can't help but to bitch slap whoever tries to close the windows...

Hey guys, you really need to get 500+ miles on it & you will see it quite down a lot. So JungleZ, don't panic if it's a little loud at first. I have non-res CF & it has quieted down & smoothed out a lot compared to the first few hundred miles. I was a little concerned at first, but for me it has settled down to a perfect note. YMMV

I agree. I have R HFC and the NR CF. The combination is simply amazing, loud, and exotic - don't know how else to describe it. It pushes you to shift at higher rpms and stay there as long as you can before shifting to the next. It's just wonderful up there. Like I mentioned earlier, 1-4 is the best. I have noticed it starting to tone down, jut a little bit but noticeable. It is loud but not as loud as when I got it installed on day 1. Tony said volume will be reduced by 10% once it settles in. NR is not for everyone but what I do know is that we all changed our driving habits even just by a little bit simply because of the noticeable torque and of course it's amazing sound.

Hey guys.
Have any of you started out with 12" res on the cbe and stock cats. Then later down the line changed to 18" res and added res HFC? If yes, how would you describe the change in volume and tone? Tapatalk & such etc |

So I had my first problem today with my exhaust. 13k miles on it now and the weld on the driver side can gave out where it connects to the hanger. Couple quick welds over the weekend should fix the problem.
