My exhaust system was installed today with the first oil change at Beaverton Nissan. The technicians were extremely impressed with the quality of the system commenting on the welds and craftsmanship saying it's by far the best exhaust system they've installed. The lead tech said it was the finest sounding system they've installed. For me, drove the car from the dealership back to my office, (downtown pdx) about 7 miles, could of kept driving but got to pay the bills...

Just got back from Fast Intentions. #606 12" Carbon Fiber is installed!!

Thanks so much Tony, highly suggested for anybody who owns a 370Z machine to purchase this Exhaust System.

As soon as Tony turned the car on i had chills down my spine and arm hairs went up. Was a nice 160 mile round trip, stock exhaust fit perfect in the back, couldnt floor it of course but just the sweet pur downshifting in heavy LA traffic on the freeway was a blessing to the ears. Really love the stealth look and exotic sound of the CF!!!!
Ill try and get some pics and hopefully a sound-clip asap.

Please post your wait times when you get yours. I'll probably order the end of December because right now the car is hibernating.

I got the call!

BTW...is there a sound difference between the regular non resonated and the carbon fiber non resonated?

Due to the different muffling capacities of stainless steel, and CF, there will be a different tone between the two. Most people seem to think the CF allows the pitch to be a bit higher and more exotic sounding.

594 here. Resonated HFC (last minute addition to the order) and Non-resonated CF. After having the car for 19 days, I could tell you that FI was the right choice for me. The performance gain is very noticeable. There is a very big difference between stock and the pcs Tony installed. It was loud the first week and toned down a bit after that. I would say that the cold start SPL was reduced by about 10% from when it was newly installed. I was a little self conscious and concerned about waking up the neighbors with the cold starts for the 1st week or so. To me, starting up the car was better that a nice cup of joe. You will be tempted to drive the car at higher rpms and shift at around 3.5 to 4.5 and occasionally higher (really mostly higher). This combo for me just sounds amazing. I'm inside and really want to hear how it sounds outside. I'd probably have an accident in my pants if I were. On my drive to and from work driving under bridges and through the two tunnels (one of them a short truck route tunnel on southbound 5 - which unfortunately is one of the unsafest tunnels around CA), I simply smile and lust over the sound this exhaust delivers.
I find it amazingly loud and am extremely satisfied with the order.

It's a different story with my wife on long trips by the way. Just by a little bit and want to point this out.

As of right now I am projecting 11-13 weeks for a lead time. We always do our best to ship towards the beginning of the shipping window.

If you have any questions or would like to place an order, please do not hesitate to call me directly.

Thank you, Tony

Today I had two different people stop me on my way to work to tell me how much they loved the sound of the FI exhaust. Love it.
