Oh ok, gotcha. So this is only done one time right after installation?

Yea just do it a couple times after its installed. It's basically like "breaking it in". I just drove strait home from the shop I had it installed at and just kept the rpms low, let the car cool down completely, then did 2 of the hot/cool down cycles in the driveway by lettin the car idle. I've been easy on it while driving the last 4 days, but ima get on it when I'm on my way home from work today

Angelo congrats on finally getting it installed!

I survived Zdayz 2013... (barely)

This is probably a nooby question but, I am reading about using washers in case the tips aren't perfectly aligned - does the package come with these? If not what are they officially called/sized and where can I get them?

I'd assume most people go to Home Depot and grab a handful from the hardware aisle. Bring one of the bolts with you. I doubt you'll spend more than $3.

If you even need to. I didn't have any problem with mine, and some times it's caused because people not perfectly aligning the mid pipes. There's a good chance you won't need to use washers.

So today is my 4th day driving with my FI exhaust and I'm absolutely loving it. I have carbon fiber cans, 18 inch resonators w/ stock cats and stock intakes and it is plenty loud for me. Downshifting with SRM makes me orgasm every time

. If you're on the fence as to whether you should get carbon fiber or stainless steel, go with carbon fiber.. it's totally awesome- stealthy look, and "exotic" is definitely the easiest way to describe it's sound...Not ricey at all. The shape and look of the tips looks perfect as well. I've been turning A LOT more heads driving around too

. This system really makes the car sound the way it should..I couldn't imagine going back to the incredibly tame sounding stock exhaust. Worth every penny.

I agree 100%. Had mine 8 months now and love every moment of it. Other than when it rains, I leave my windows open all the time. Sounds and looks great. NR HFC and NR CF CBE FTW!!!!!

So about 4 days tops of Hot/cold cycling with low Rpms and then I can ram it?

Duke1098r · 07-17-2013, 06:21 AM

So I finally got home from working over seas and what was waiting for me ah yes, High flow cats, 12" res and stainless mufflers. So yesterday I blocked the car up, laid on my back and installed the system. I love it there is nothing else I can say I love it.

I was just being conservative. 2 heat cycles is all that is recommended.
