We are starting our venture into the design and release of our long tube header for the 370Z. We will be shifting our focus towards that new product shortly. In addition, within the next few weeks I will be posting the end date for the existing cat back sale. DO NOT WORRY you will still have plenty of time to place your order at the discounted price if you have not already...

you should take a look at this post then:

His car isnt even low, he still has a pretty big gap. If he lowers it to get completely rid of his wheel gap the exhaust will sit about an inch off the ground heh. Your exhaust got great results, sounds awesome, but sits way to low. :(

I read it and I see that the cans are 3" off the ground. However he has 25 series tires in the back on a 20" rim. If you like a rubberband for a tire than I understand where he is coming from.

Here is the deal though, for the few sales that I might lose here and there it is not worth it to change the design. Everyone loves it and their isnt another system on the market that performs better. So far only a few have commented on the mufflers being low. Where they are in relation to the tires, allows them to crest over speed bumps as the rear part of the tires are reaching the top of the bump. Hopefully that made sense. I understand your concern and I am sorry that we cannot have your business. I am glad though that our design is different because everyone elses system looks the same. One more thing to touch on, Stock or lowered, the front bumper will always be more of an issue than our mufflers...

Thanks, Tony

How much is somewhat higher? I don't think its fair to increase the price, why cant you just keep the price as it is?

This is a introduction sale price. MSRP will eventually be higher but you have some time to get it at the sale price.

NewYorkJon34 09-19-2009 11:30 AM

I was going to buy one around christmas, but if it's alot more then I'm not sure I will, what's going to be the msrp for the exhaust?

just wait till he gets ready to raise the price and get yourself on the build list then at the sale price...takes about 5 weeks to get it once you order it and you dont need to pay until the day it ships...

that should put you in the october, november timefame...

NewYorkJon34 09-19-2009 11:38 AM

I guess that's what I'll have to do, the economy is really screwing me over, so it's taking me alot longer then I thought to save up for parts, now I hear the exhaust price is going up, so I really have to hurry, :(

Don't worry, I will take care of you! We have already spoke and I will honor the sale price for you even if it has ended. Within a resonable timeframe of course. Meaning, do not call me in a year and ask for the sale price. However, for example if the sale ends in November, I will take care of you if you buy it the following month.

NewYorkJon34 09-19-2009 12:17 PM

oh thank you soo much Tony, You really are the best, lol I def know I will be ordering around November, my current Job situation should be better soon. So how the Headers coming along?

azn370z 09-20-2009 11:59 AM

Is the 4.5 inch ground clearance behind the rear wheels or between the rear wheels?

It's about 9 inches behind the center of the rear wheels...maybe 10 inches, I took a quickie measure. I must have lowered my car 1.5 inches cause I have exactly 3 inches between the ground and the lowest point of my F.I. exhaust.

Pointman 09-21-2009 09:51 PM

Tony,

Just a thought, how about a slightly reduced cost on the long tubes for those that have already purchased a system from ya.


Please, Please, Please, I'll be your best friend:bowrofl::happydance::bowrofl:

Nothing yet bro, we are trying to finish up a car that we have in the shop so we can focus on them. I am shooting to have these things released by mid November possibly sooner. Once the prototype is finish we have to do dyno testing before we even consider production.

zulus370Z 09-23-2009 11:23 AM

Tony, how long is the wait on an exhaust if soemone ordered today?

As of right now, I am projecting 3.5 - 5 weeks until transit. It will most likely by closer to the 3.5, I just figure all the way up to 5 because it gives me a window. Keep in mind, we do not bill your card until your exhaust ships. If you are ready please feel free to give me a ring...

Thank you, Tony

The issue of ground clearance is what's also got me on the fence about this too.

3.5" isn't a lot of room. If I get coilovers, it'll drop a bit too, even though that's not my intended goal. I don't know about the roads in other areas, but, around here, they aren't all that great.

I've basically become a deer in headlights on this issue (which catback) - Stillen is what I was going to do, but this shows more promise performance-wise...but I don't know which one really sounds better....

Then I start thinking of which cats (berk or FI), to header or not to header...then to turbo or supercharge, or not...if I turbo or supercharge, then the rest of that is basically wasted money.

So...yeah, I'm not doing anything for now...lol


Which begs the question - why didn't F.I. use a tapered muffler design on the inlet side?

Pointman 09-23-2009 08:02 PM

Big Tony,

Should I wait till I hit break in to install, or does it really matter? Foaming at the bit in anticipation of shippment and delivery.

3.5" isn't an issue as of yet and we have terri-bad roads around here. As a matter of fact I wish I had a camera to show how bad haha. If you are planning to do forced induction at any point I would go ahead and get the GTM 3" exhaust which is a little more expensive but sounds nice and is what you are going to need anyways.

"planning" is such a strong word at this point ;)

I'm wondering if I should just go and kill the extended warranty (and get a refund) if I can - lol, because they'll just deny it anyway if/when I have something come up, if all the mods happen.

Just gotta pay off debt.

Just an FYI as i know you did not ask me. But I installed my FI hfc's and catback with only 300km on the car. no issues to install before the break just still follow the breaking in if that is what you want to do

Pointman 09-23-2009 08:42 PM

Thanks Shumby. Im very close to break in, and lord knows I've tried hard not to go above 4k or 5k rpms, but man im only human. I was gonna try and make it to about 1500 miles before I change over to Redline Oils. Thanks for the input.

Damn,..

I placed my order yesterday and I got 100 miles on my odometer...

You mentioned earlier that you would post a video to hear it - is it posted someplace else? I am interested in hearing the straight pipe version.

Daishi 11-01-2009 03:42 PM

naw man never got a chance to i dont have something to record a video with thats satisfactory.

speedworks 11-01-2009 04:36 PM

So how do you like it now that you have had some time with it (honeymoon is over)? I am thinking of going with no resonators, but do have concerns of it being too loud or the possibility of drone. Any drone? How is the volume inside the car - can you still use your stereo and carry a normal conversation?
