Fast Intentions CBE Vs. Muffler Delete Loudness

cameronZ · 04-13-2016, 12:40 PM

Hi all,

So I have a custom muffler delete on a completely stock exhaust. It is loud, has no drone, and is deep! I love it but want the performance gains of the fast intentions exhaust. I was just curious, has anyone compared the two? Or knows how the loudness/ deepness compares? Would a certain combo (ie 12 in resonators with resonated TP) get me closer to that muffler delete sound?

Man that sounds wild!!! That last video is wayyyy louder than my setup. Did you have test pipes on with the custom short tails? What has been your favorite combination/ setup so far? Idk if Im gonna like this "hissing" when I put on the test pipes

the setup is non-res test pipes and non-res cbe with CF mufflers......and then same without the mufflers and a custom FI axle back muffler delete section.

I run mine both ways. also the hissing you cannot get away from if you change out the stock cats. also it will make people look for turbos on your car.

for inspection purposes the mufflers go on and sometimes I really just enjoy the sound/tone that the CF mufflers produce.

then I drop the mufflers and enjoy the pure insanity of how loud the Z can actually be.

takes me like 10 min to swap them out. the real pain is getting it up in the air first.

So you'd say the hissing gets you positive reactions? People like it? Thats awesome how did you make the custom short tails? I might hack off the mufflers and wield on some 2.5 in pipes if my non res cbe w res test pipes isnt loud enough.

the hissing is really personal preference whether one likes it or not. it doesn't bother me and it's kinda funny to see people with the heads buried under my hood looking for turbos at shows/meets lol

I have a friend who makes racing exhausts and owns a shop. I got clearance from Tony and then dropped all the material off to my guy. he made me a whole axle back set.

I personally would never want to see the muffler section of the FI exhaust cannibalized but I'm sure it has happened in the past.

I just like having a set of mufflers which sounds amazing then I have a set of deletes for when I want to be louder than loud lol

I no longer have any of the hissing on my car from the test pipes. But they're Art pipes btw. At first installed it was slightly there for only a few days, maybe a week and then gone, no more hissing on accell or decell. Kinda weird, but I can attest that with the art pipes there are no hisses whatsoever now. 3K+ miles since installed. I Highly recommend them over other test pipes available.

here I forgot I actually made a thread about them.

Custom Short Tails for Fast Intentions Exhaust

I've always wanted to do some cut-outs with my FI LTH setup. Just don't know if it would affect the ECU tune or not. Plus not sure where to put them, but I think it would be loud and wonderful.

I do notice when I start my car the first time after I swap out the mufflers for no mufflers the idle jumps around a little most likely changing the fuel maps a bit on it's own.

not sure how far off it would be with the cutouts at the headers.

What your tomei? Weak lol

Has anyone done a dyno comparison of ART pipes vs FI test pipes on a FI exhaust? I know back on the 350z the ART pipes gave a good amount of low end torque.

Any issues with SES/CEL coming on when running without catalytic converters?

I don't have any issues. FI test pipes are guaranteed to not throw a light. Only time they do its typically due to being tough on the O2 sensors during install.
