Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

kannibul · 07-06-2009, 11:16 AM

Looking in the video, looks like there's not a whole heck of a lot of ground clearance on the back end of the mufflers. How much room is there? Some people here lowered their Z, and it might be more of an issue.

I actually said the same thing. I'm not sure what to think about about it. I'm hoping its just the camera angle.

Maybe this is why Berk mentioned that an angled setup won't work with these cars. Maybe the ground clearance is too small?

Ground clearance is not an issue. My design for the G37 has been out for over a year and they are lower!

I will have to get an exact measurement but they are over 6 inches off of the ground.

As far as the Berk comment, I will just laugh at that

we have seemed to figure it out!!!

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the info. It would also be helpful to have your assessment on how low the lowest part of your exhaust is in relation to existing structures in the car, meaning if you could tell us "It's X.X" higher than the bottom of the differential" or something of that sort, it would really help!

Thanks again, great thread and product.

The lowest point is the bottom of the mufflers. As far as everything in front of that, it is high enoguh to not see if you were looking under the car from the side. In relation to our old Intimidator with the Magnaflow style X Pipe canister, this one is miles higher.

How much lower does it sit compared to any part of the OEM exhaust?

Or, better question, how much lower does it sit compared to the bottom of the car (body)?

Is it lower than the chin spoiler?

Thanks Tony. What I meant was how low/high it was in relation to something that was already in the car, so someone without this exhaust can go to the garage and check to see where your exhaust would be.

Must be the camera angle then - I noticed when the car took off, there were some dips towards the end of the run, it looked like if there was a stiff enough bump they'd scrape.

If it's 6", I can't imagine that much suspension travel...assuming stock ride height/stock suspension.
