Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

Caravanshaka · 07-05-2009, 10:25 PM

Agreed, this is a great sound for a daily driver. Calm under normal driving, but has a great sound under WOT. It makes the car sound more expensive than it is

Togo · 07-05-2009, 10:25 PM

Wow that looks great and sounds great too. I'm interested to see what kind weight this thing is sporting. It looks like it could easily be same as stock or less!

WShade · 07-05-2009, 11:03 PM

Very nice!

Bster · 07-05-2009, 11:12 PM

That sounds really good!

I love it! I never bought an aftermarket exhaust before. Believe it or not, my '03 350Z only had an OEM exhaust. I wanted to change things up with the 370Z by getting an aftermarket exhaust. The F.I. exhaust on the G37 sounded very nice, and the 370Z exhaust sound is way better than expected (overachievers! 8-D). The angle cut tips are superb and flow well with the rear bumper. No rasp!? Wonderful. The subdued or attenuated drone is definitely a welcome especially with the tire roar drowning the music. I never liked the exhaust drone in the 350Z. Can't wait to see what sort of gains we'll get since I don't have access to a dyno locally.

I'm definitely looking forward to HFC + TDX setup this month.

Did you get a chance to weigh the exhaust before installing it? Looks and sounds amazing.

When I dyno the exhaust towards the end of this week I will weigh it. I am very confident that the TDX weighs less thean the stock exhaust.

I will also be posting a video from our dyno session.

Thanks. I appreciate it. Can't wait to see the results of the dyno and the weight.

Maybe down the road for the tips in 4" the tips you see are 4.5" !

The mufflers will only be available in Polished Stainless Steel & Carbon Fiber.

Damn, Tony. Sounds amazing man. Even better than I though it would. Looks and sounds even sexier than it did on my previous Intimidator system. Very exotic sounding. I'm sold.

Ready to buy, and can send money today.

What's the approximate build/ship time right now? I am wanting the all polished SS version. I am split on the resonator size though (12 or 18). I have a set of HFC's in my garage (uninstalled), but your video sounded SO good I almost don't want to spoil that exotic sound that you guys at FI have created, lol.

Anyhow, great job. Hope to hear from you soon!

miguez · 07-06-2009, 06:19 AM

First off, props to the first exhaust manufacturer in here (AFAIK) to produce such an extensive video to include startup, idle and revving from all angles (walked around the car), takeoff, zero to fast from the back and the front, internal sound in different conditions, even naming off speed and RPM to evaluate drone. Very good video that other manufacturers should be watching to learn what people are interested in before buying an exhaust.

Tony, I took a look at Fast Intention's website, and was impressed at the high-quality TIG welds in some of your exhaust, like the Lambo's.

Finally, it's very interesting how sound is something completely personal. I am tired of reading 370Z reviews where the author complains about the VQ's sound at high revs. Granted, the one in the video is helped by a great exhaust, but even with the car approaching you on a fast pass, to me, it sounds great!

Tony, do we have any pricing info yet, including the different options you mentioned? I will be standing by for the dyno and weight info.

FuszNissan · 07-06-2009, 06:29 AM

Wow, sounds and looks so nice. Definitely getting a set!

SargeZ33 · 07-06-2009, 06:36 AM
