Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

I am really interested in buying this exhaust system but just have a few questions. How does the 18" resonators sound as compared to the 12"? Are there horsepower gains

Default Hey Tony

I am really interested in buying this exhaust system but just have a few questions. How does the 18" resonators sound as compared to the 12"? Are there horsepower gains between the 12's to the 18's? I assure there are more horsepower gains with the carbon fiber exhaust kit, but how much do you think? These questions I hope can be answered by forum members as well as Tony.

There are no differences in HP between the 12 and 18" resonators (they don't inhibit flow) and there are no differences between the stainless and CF mufflers. The only "gain" with the CF mufflers is the weight savings, but all the internal workings of the muffler are identical to the stainless steel one.

" I am really interested in buying this exhaust" AWESOME. Man that how I started when I looked at the FIE. Trust me man its so awesome. I ordered mine yesterday and cant wait for the exhaust to arrive.

As far as the difference between the 12 and the 18 is that the 18 sounds a lot quieter inside the cabin. They both sound the same outside. Guess who told me this. The man himself...TONY.

Let us know when you buy it...

If it makes it more quiet inside why doesnt it make itmore quiet on the outside? Seems like it would have to. Im sure the dbs are less outside too, just might not be able to tell by the ear.

a resonator makes a deeper tone, smoother tone. I can't imagine them sounding the same since a completely unresonated exhaust is rediculously loud.

Thank you very much Tony. Mark me down for delivered, installed, impressed and enthralled. The installers in the shop all agreed that the exhaust is one of the nicest they had seen. Very good quality, nice tigs, nice fitment.

Yup, first post, and I thought very necessary.

I'm gonna try very hard to get a GOOD video camera so I can take a GOOD video of this exhaust after I receive and install it. The one from F.I. is top notch, but people always want more, therefore, since so few videos exist, I will try very hard to give them more.

The microphone is really what's going to be important. You'll want to get a camera (preferably one of the HD ones) with an external mic input so you can really record some nice sounds.

But at the rate Tony is selling these things it won't be too hard for people just to head to their local Z gathering and hear it in person!

On a warmish day come down to NNJ and we'll put it in for you

Hey Mike,

Thank you for taking care of Sanjay on the install. It is good to know that there is a decent install shop in the New York/New Jersey area. I will def. recommend your shop for installs in the future...

Thank you, Tony

Kevin1985912 #90, thank you for the order. People, we are officially 10 away from #100.

As you can see #076 and #077 are being skipped. It is only due to the fact that they both have 18" resonators on order and #078 has 12" resonators on order. Bottom line, I am currently out of all resonators with the exception of 2- 12". My shipment will be in towards the middle of next week and we will be back on track. I just wanted to explain this because I know I will be asked...

BTW- # 091 is pending...

Is a price increase coming after 100?

Never been so excited to see a $1000+ notification show up on the credit card.
And almost to the day when Tony said it would happen. You run a tight ship, keep up the awesome work.
