Non res for the win! Mine is insanely deep under 3k rpm, if you want it quieter in cabin then I guess resonators are good. I get a lot of drone when crusing 2k-3k rpm, but it sounds so great you can't help but love it. Also, you can just swap x pipes if you want to change non res/resonated setups.

following this thread is not good for my patience, making em want it too much, and my install isn't until november 18th! #398, haha

Glokwork · 09-14-2011, 04:23 PM

Also the alignment issue I have does not have anything to do with FI. It's due to the ERZ/CNT HFCs that I'm running, the passenger side one is a little shorter. Just wanted to clear that up and Tony is going out of his way to send me gaskets to fix the problem caused by another manufacturer, he's the man

idk whats worse. you having awhile to wait or me only having another week or so (pending how far behind tony is) to get mine in.

i'm dying here knowing today was the start of my estimated initial shipping week

but shouldnt be toooo much longer now #373 hopefully here soon.

He told me when I ordered that things were calming down a bit and they might start to get a bit more caught up. Said mine was a conservative estimate and i could be a week sooner. I hope he's right.

I was recommended the Stage 2. I thought about it very hard and sometimes changed my mind, but after pulling the trigger it's well worth it if you plan to keep the car for a long time. The sound is very satisfying (even quieter), and even at 6 PSI it's easy to get in trouble in 3rd on the freeway. Off boost, it's pretty much stock.

I was looking at doing the Stage 2 SC so I wouldn't have to give up my headers, but with the extreme shadyness from GTM, and talking to Z1 about install prices... I've decided I'll prolly go the TT route, and Stage 2 is right where I'd like to be power wise. And if one day I decide I want moar, I can just upgrade...

Glad to see your install was a success! Now that you're done with that, lets talk LED swaps...

, I was wondering though if later down the road if anyone knows if the resonators could be removed? Just a thought because the exhaust tone is beautiful and I might want it a tad bit louder.

Since the resonator is in the X pipe, the solution would probably be nothing more than having FI build you another X pipe section with 12" resonators. You could then swap them out yourself whenever you like... Or sell the 18" resonators to someone who has No Res or the 12" and wants to be able to quiet it down if need be... Either way, it's doable.

Hey guys i got a email from Tony last night about the status of my exhaust #373.

My original ship date was 9/14-9/21 he said he is only a week behind at the moment and is catching back up. which will make my ship date 9/21-9/28 (hopefully sooner lol)

So to everyone behind me in line your wait is almost over

Vapiano · 09-15-2011, 12:38 PM

All these people are hearing from Tony...
Im # 371 and have yet to hear anything

zpodz · 09-16-2011, 02:56 AM

Made the call today! After talking with Tony for 25 minutes...I'm feeling really good about this purchase! Went with SS CBE and 12" resonators and keeping stock cats. So yea, after Thanksgiving I will be driving up to LA and get the install, then drive back with a stock exhaust jammed in my car and a big grin on my face.

After 24K miles she is finally getting her voice!

#401 Here I come!

I emailed him first to get an update then he responded. if you havent heard anything yet shoot him an email or a phone call. those seem to work lol

jpritche · 09-16-2011, 01:51 PM

My exhaust was delivered at 1pm today, but I am away at college so it may be a while before I get to install it

I am happy that it is finally there though!
