Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

Felix 808 · 03-29-2012, 01:45 AM

Hey Guys, here are a few key points Tony pointed out to me about the resonators when I paid a visit to his shop. Basically, it is much easier & better looking if you go from a non-resonated to 12" to an 18" in that order, as all they or a muffler shop would need to do is cut out the section & weld in the new resonators, no adding pipe making a patch work mess

. He also mentioned that over time, the systems quiet down, this makes sense as the resonators & mufflers will load up over time. So if you are on the fence, I would go shorter & let them break-in before making any rash decisions. But definitely consult with Tony about what you are trying to achieve.

YMMV

3 more weeks & it's non-res carbon fiber for me

For those of u with the full system headers and catback. How much lower does everything set compared to the factory exhaust?

the lowest part of the exhaust is the mufflers and they actually sit right at the same height if not a TINY bit higher!

I'm just so use to having cars where the headers hang so much lower than factory. And I usually scrape on everything

But also keep in mind that the mufflers also sit quite a bit lower than the stock as they extend back from the axle. This does make a difference. It can be seen easily here in my wheel-level video of the OEM v FI exhuast: Link to my review. Note the visibility of the cans below the level of the rear valence with the FI versus the stock muffler.
