Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

cotizi · 10-02-2009, 11:45 PM

I'm really interested in your impression of the Stillen CBE. More specifically, its volume comparison with the muffler delete. I'm at a loss for which FI exhaust resonator configuration is similar in volume, and to my knowledge no one has taken dB readings of any FI configuration. Maybe knowing how the Stillen compares will help some.

I'm having it installed tomorrow morning. We'll find out if the fitment issues are really solved with the Stillen CBE in about 12 hours.

cool..you gonna do some vids for us?

Tony,

On a more serious note, what do you think the real difference will be in power/sound quality between F.I. HFCs and your long tube headers with cats? I would like to know before I get the HFCs installed next weekend so that I could sell the HFCs if necessary and wait for your LTHs to come out.

I'll definitely post a comparison with the stock and muffler delete. I assume I've currently experienced the two extremes. My thought is the Stillen leans closer to the stock as an intermediate while the FI will be closer to the muffler delete. I just couldn't chance any drone which is 100% intolerable for me as a daily driver so I went the more conservative Stillen route. Review to follow.
