^^^^^^^ WTH...

It was the other way for me! Wish I would have gone FI from the start!

Well thanks to all the people that failed before for letting me reap your rewards

it was great and we appreciate your sacrifice!
I paid 1190 even. About 100$ off. the reason I went over FI is 1.) im not so into my car that I have to have the best of the best when the HP/TQ difference isnt that much different between the 2 exhausts. 2.) it was cheaper with the sale and 3.) I got it in 4 days rather than months haha. I guess my mod bug was a bit too impatient :/ However the main thing was definitely money....school is expensive

Its not about having the best of the best, it's about making the right choices with the money that you have. For me at least.

I liked the CBE, and honestly, it was the setup I wanted before I even got my Z. But it's heavy, power gains aren't that great and mine sounded raspy with HFCs. Overall I wasn't impressed and felt my money could have been better spent elsewhere.

Anyway, congrats on the purchase. Go put it on so you can be addicted to driving your car. :-)

Honestly... the stillen sounds like my stock exhaust with non resonated mid-pipe. $1200 is a lot to pay for a sound that you can obtain with $90 and gain like 4 or 5 hp from that and in conjunction with an intake it can go as high as 24hp depending on your intake setup.
