Then ill retract any statement ive made so far (all 3 included in this thread) and wait to ear one for real...but i live in montreal quebec where they will be rare to non existent; and i wont pull the trigger on something make a 370z in my hears sound like a mx3 precidia v6 with a boomy can..

Mr Desmo,

I own the FI system. I understand your post and your delima. The sound is awesome imo but there in lies the problem. Enjoyment of the exhuast tone is subjective. Im not a big fan of the interior noise levels of the vehicle itself, but the exhuast is a pleasure to listen too. I do plan on adding some Raamat and foam not to deaden the exhaust note but to clean up the background from the road noise. I hope it does not dimish the sound of the exhuast too much because imo it truly is perfect for me. I'm not a fan of rice, drones, rasp, or any of the other negative issues with moding v6 exhuasts. I believe the tone and note form the FI system give a more exotic flavor to the car than anything else. Just my :twocents: hope they help. Sorry you can not hear nor ride in a car equiped with one of these systems. I'm sure it would help your decision process.

:iagree: ...and BTW it seems like more than one person has bought the FI CBE based on audio from YouTube. Like it or not, mr-desmo is entitled to express his opinion here. :stirthepot:

Got my Fast Intentions CF catback today!! Sweet!

opened the box,..just the catback though and missing the Hi Flow Cats,..Only received 1 large box though UPS states that there are 2 boxes?

I take it it still on its way..

I did just finish installing like 5 minutes ago and it does sound sweet,....nice European tone to it,..kinda reminds me of the old Ferrari Monza twin tip exhaust note...

Will drive this around and may skip installing the Hi Flow Cats,..just not sure as Im going to go thru the power threads and listen to You Tube clips again to see if it will be too loud vs. power gains....

And even then it's not really a negative... I am just not going to be fluffy about everything. It's a bit of an issue because my SO has very sensitive hearing... the only real reason it bothers me is because I know it's bothering her. When I drive to work, there really isn't a problem because I'm by myself and I just love it. And I've said that... this car sounds badass with the 18" CBE. 4.6L Cobra + F355 = Heaven.

It's just that people are really quick to take my [very informative] posts and twist them whichever way they want. I just want to make sure I cover both sides of the story. I love Tony and love what he's done for us but I'm NOT going to give you all a bunch of fluff... I tell it like it is so people can make informed decisions.

I had to bitch at some nannies in the other thread because they think I'm complaining about the exhaust. Heck no. I love this exhaust and I love my car. It sucks that my SO is bothered by it but we have a Benz so we will just take that on trips. It's quiet.

Oh wait, it's not. I installed exhaust on that one, too. **** yeah.

Seriously, though, I'm going to buy another car and LEAVE IT ALONE so when we need to be quiet we can be. But really, all the haters who think I'm complaining about this can :gtfo2:

It annoys me at times but damnit I still love it. Your wives annoy you guys at times but you still love them, right? They bitch you out and make you feel like the smallest little piece of **** on the planet at times, but then they can turn it around and light your world on fire in the bedroom.

Get it? Good.

(I am not being negative to you in any way, Dreamer. In fact, I like you a lot and will be providing you with rep).

Happy Halloween.

M4a1 OUT.

someone in Montreal has one on order and i'll let you know if it's crazy loud or not... whenever it comes in...and whenever i can can go see it...

Tony, PM sent!

Replied, and please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions...

Thank you, Tony

Page #1 is updated with the most current list. 4 months in and we are still going strong thanks to all of you.

AND...........


The prototype will begin this coming Monday November 9th of the (LONG TUBE HEADERS). We will do our best to have pictures, sound clips and possibly dyno charts up by Thanksgiving.

FAQ's:

Q: How much will they cost?
A: Once they are put into production we will set the pricing. There will be a retail and then a introductory sale price, no group buy.

Q: I know that they will replace the stock manifolds, but will they also replace the stock cats?
A: Yes to both, they will bolt up into the stock location on the front of the cat back. So they will work with a stock cat back or ours!

Q: Will they throw a CEL light?
A: As of right now, I will venture towards NO they will not.

Q: Will there be room for a resonator or high flow cat within the header?
A: Not on this version right away. Down the road with possibly a mid length version.

Q: Will the LTH's be louder then a car with shorty headers and aftermarket cats?
A: Most likely!

Q: Will they make torque and power then a shorty and HFC?
A: That is the point! It should make more torque than power.

Q: What material will they be offered in?
A: Standard T-304 Stainless Steel and ceramic coating upon request ($$$).

Q: Will they be CARB approved?
A: NO for California, OFF ROAD USE ONLY. The other 49 states, it will all depend on your laws.

Q: Is Fast Intentions really this good?
A: "Where the impossible is possible"

For any other questions please do not hesitate to ask...

[QUOTE=mr_desmo;256743]Because you dont see in my avatar the i have a 370 means i dont own one:roflpuke2: Why would i lose time here? I have 4 cars.
My opinion is base on ytoutube videos and owners comments about the need to put dynamat luxury in the back of the car etc...there IS better solution to quiet a car while maintaining the full spectrum of sounds the vq37 can produce ...not just basse...But your right i dont quite fit in this forum qhere titanium burnt tips and hks full power are considered classy setups:tiphat:[/QUOTE

spelle chek iz works

You should take this out on potero road :D wide open roads that has no cars.

Page#1 is updated with the current list as well as all of the customer reviews to date. All in one place to make things a little easier...

Thanks, Tony

So it looks like there would be 33 people ahead of me if I ordered right now. How soon do you think the exhaust would ship (ballpark)?

Thanks!
Nate

Nate,

Thank you for pointing that out. I needed to update the list and now it is done. Take a look at it when you have a moment. As of right now, you would be #058 and turnaround time would be about 3-4 weeks. Obviously next week is short due to the holiday but there are only 5 or 6 ahead of you. However, I am currently working on closing 3-4 orders within the next day or so. With that being said, please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions or are ready to move forward. Also remember, I do not bill your card until I ship your exhaust...

Thank you, Tony

Based on how fast the list moves... you guys must turn these things out very very quickly...

Based on the customer's order, how long does it take you to mock up, fab, weld, finish off an exhaust?

To build one complete exhaust takes one person one conplets day! Are you ready?

List on page #1 updated: SpeedWorks #058, thank you for the order.

Wow that is quick, I mean I'm sure its alot easier now that you KNOW the design throughout, how long did the development process take?

Well, we have been using a Mandrel Bender 6 days a week for the last ten years so I feel that we have it down pat! I can look at the car and visualize what I want. Then we build it and usually get it right the first time. I am not trying to be arrogant, we just have ALOT of practice.

And this + your customer service is why you guys are top notch. I can't wait to get my Z and send you a check :tup:

When is the Z coming?

Looking to get it around March.

#059, Bumblez thank you for the order...

Tony

#060, Pablo Z thank you for the order...

Tony

From all of us at Fast Intentions, to all of you:

Happy Thanksgiving

Ditto

Once you get to the bottom of the list, is it still a 4-5 week wait?

No it is not once you get to the bottom. However, the list is constantly growing. As of right now it is somewhere between 3-5 weeks turnaround. However, we do not bill you until we ship!

Thanks, Tony

Moemeister: #061, thank you for the order...

Tony

I'm sorry for being a pain Tony, but I just look at the numbers and they don't make sense. You said before it's one person per exhaust per day. Currently the list has 9 on wait for the exhaust. So even if you had only person in the shop that would equate to a 9 day wait time. I understand that's not taking into account any new orders. I'm just trying to figure out how it's a 3-5 week wait time. Thank you!:tiphat:

No, you are not being a pain at all. We service many different communities:

Nissan, Infiniti, Audi, BMW, Mitsubishi.

Those are the majors not including the custom drive in work that we do. Every order is first come first serve and just because there is only 9-370Z orders doesn't mean there isn't other orders in between them from other cars. Keep in mind that there is only three of us and everything is built right here in our shop! If you have anymore questions, please do not hesitate to ask...

Thank you, Tony

Gotcha! Thanks for the explanation, my GF should be in contact with you soon :tup:

No problem, we are here when you two are ready...

Thanks, Tony

darkROAM_1: #062, thank you for the order...

Tony

Sig: 050...

Shipping either today or tomorrow.

Tony

DirtyDave #063, thank you for the order...

Tony

On another note, the prototype of the Long Tube Headers are complete. We will be starting the thread:

"Fast Intentions Long Tube Headers Are Here"

We will try to have pictures and dyno numbers up by the end of the week. Shortly to follow, we will have up videos. The format of the thread will have a very similar layout to out exhaust thread. Stay tuned and get ready for a ride!!!

Waqar #064, thank you for the order...
