Fast Intentions Exhaust Info thread: Very Informative
 

I wanted to take the time to re post this thread so new comers can find the information easier. The other thread has far surpassed any of our expectations with thousands of replies. Thank you all for that. What I will do here is post all of the reviews in one place within this thread so hopefully potential buyers can find what they are looking for a tad bit easier.

This exhaust is different then it's earlier counterpart the Intimidator. If you know us from either My350z.com, G35Driver.com or Myg37.com then you know that we always strive to do our best to give you (the community) the highest in customer service and products second to none!

This exhaust system is soley designed for the 370Z. Now since this is the case, it is fitting that is comes with a new name. It will be known as the:

Fast Intentions TDX

The sale thread itself with (pricing info) will be located in the vendor classified section.

This exhaust is designed to push the limits of torque and power while at the same time retaining the stock Z note, only enhancing it by making it deeper and smoother.

As you all may or may not know, we build everything to order and on a first come first basis.

In addition to this our test pipes, resonated test pipes and high flow cats will be at rock bottom sale prices available by themselves or as a package deal with the cat back.

I am confident this is the start of a great thing. We have had the support from this community from day one and we are eternally greateful.

Here it is, our video of the prototype...

So here is what we came up with at the dyno:

Baseline (Stock)
Run 1- 281.94 RWH / 241.25 RWT
Run 2- 276.51 RWH / 241.52 RWT
Run 3- 284.12 RWH / 240.89 RWT
Baseline Average: 280.86 RWH / 241.22 RWT



F.I. TDX Cat Back 12" Resonators / Stock Cats
Run 1- 300.81 RWH / 251.08 RWT
Run 2- 301.62 RWH / 252.11 RWT
Run 3- 301.30 RWH / 253.89 RWT
F.I. TDX C.B. 12" Res. Average: 301.24 RWH / 252.36 RWT



F.I. TDX Cat Back 12" Resonators / F.I. Resonated Test Pipes
Run 1- 308.99 RWH / 259.05 RWT
Run 2- 310.24 RWH / 258.32 RWT
Run 3- 305.37 RWH / 258.70 RWT
F.I. TDX Cat Back 12" Res. / F.I. R.T.P. Average: 308.20 RWH / 258.69 RWT



F.I TDX Cat Back 12" Resonators / F.I. HFC's
Run 1- 304.35 RWH / 258.33 RWT
Run 2- 304.19 RWH / 258.25 RWT
Run 3- 305.79 RWH / 258.50 RWT
F.I. TDX Cat Back 12" Res. / F.I. HFC's Average: 304.78 RWH / 258.36 RWT

During the dyno runs of the HFC's & R.T.P's I started the think as to why it wasn't making more power. Then I reviewed the numbers and realized that they were pretty standard as far as gains go. Remember that this car has stock air boxes and stock air filters. The car is only taking in so much air so it can only let out so much exhaust. Now, I am confident that the HFC's and R.T.P.'s will play much more of a part when a good cold air intake setup is on the car.

The cat back itself, blew away our expectations! We are extremely pleased with the results.
Bottom line, our cat back gave a bone stock 370Z 6MT an average of 20 RWH more and 11 FT LBS. of torque over stock.

Fast Intentions 370Z Dyno Session:



Fast Intentions TDX Cat Back W/High Flow Cats



O.K. so I have been getting alot of requests about our payment plan option. We have offered this in previous markets and it has worked. Here are the details:

Layaway & payment plans

Here is how it works,

-All we require is 25% down (Non Refundable)
-From the day the exhaust is purchased you have 90 days(3 months) to pay it off.
-We encourage you to split the remaining balance evenly over the 3 months but it is not a requirement.
-If down the line you decide you cannot afford or do not want the exhaust system, you WILL NOT be held liable on the remaining balance. However you WILL NOT receive a refund on any previous payment.
-All payments are NON REFUNDABLE!
-You cannot downgrade once your original order is placed, only upgrade.
-There is no interest on your balance!
-Your exhaust will not ship until the balance is paid in full!
-There is no pre payment penalty!


We like to think of this as our way to make purchasing for our customers a little easier during these economic times.

Keep in mind, this is designed for the consumer that can and needs time to save up the funds in order to get this exhaust. This is not for everyone!

Those of you who have already purchased an exhaust system through us are aware that we do not bill your card until right before we ship your product! Example: if you purchased under the normal way today, your wait would be 4 to 5 weeks. So with that being said, you would not be billed until then.

If anyone has any questions please do not hesitate to ask. I will keep you all updated as much as possible...

Updating to this post in my compendium. Nice, Tony!

Ok thats nice, now spill the beans on the longtube headers :)

Thanks Tony, this is already helping me!

We are working on them. The driver side should be completed by the end of the day.

:ughdance::happydance::tiphat:

Do you know if you are going to make an x pipe for the G37?

I thought I answered that for you, maybe not.

It is already out and whenever you wnat, call me and I will get you set up with one...

Thanks, Tony

so what benifits does the LTH have over the short tube headers and the resonated test pipes? And Im assuming the LTH and CBE will make for a very loud exhaust with lots of drone? But more power?

Here is another review as of today that I wanted to add to this thread:

Nope never heard back from you. I'll be in touch.

I could of sworn that I sent you a PM. My fault, just call me when you are ready...

Thanks, Tony

any one driving this with a lowered suspension? any one afraid of road debri hitting it?
Im thinking this would be a good tax return money purchase but i want nismo springs also and i cant help but feel its going to be a diasterous mix.

We have a handful out there one lowered cars. I also have installed a few as well. It is really going to depend on your driving habits. I have had a few scrape one was lowered one was not. They both addmited to me thats they were not paying attention toi their surroundings. One caught an apex on a driveway and another hit a dip in the street at about 50 MPH. For the most part though, everyone seems good to go. FYI: the lowest part of our exhaust is only 3/8" lower than the stock exhaust system.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask...

Thank you, Tony

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

Happy Thanksgiving

Tony, I'm not sure if there's a dedicated thread for this yet, but do you have a status update on longtube header development?

Not yet my freind, we want to get them finished, dynoed and sound clips. From there we will give you all a great informative thread. We hope to have the prototype done by the end of this coming week...

Thanks, Tony

Hi Tony, by any chanse have you sold any CBE's in the DFW area (TEXAS)?
and is there any particular shopst that you would recomend for the install?
I'm really interested in buying. Thanks!!!

Hey Puma ! I bought a cbe from tony and installed it myself , it was a breeze , if you dont find someone call me , 817-938-8201 , David , south FW

Thanks David!!!
How do you like the CBE?
Have you done anything else to your car?
These is my first Z, and i'm new to all these.
Where in South FW, I live in North Richland Hills by the North East Mall.

There you go, David is close to you. Hopefully you two can meet up. As far as the install goes, you can do it yourself. I will supply you with detailed instructions. In fact, possibly David could give you some insight or maybe even help. Do not hesitate to ask if you need anything...

Thank you, Tony

If you have access to a lift, I highly recommend it. Some of the OEM bolts are tight on an insane level.

I jacked my Z on the back end via the diff, then placed two stands underneath where some large rods go back behind the diff since I don't have the adapters to use the recommended locations (area nearest I could figure safe). I'm sure it's not "correct" but it held and didn't move....

It took me a few hours to get the OEM exhaust off because of the PITA bolts...but putting the FI CBE went fast/quick/easy. Instructions are clear enough.

Thanks Kannibul!
I would like hear the CBE before buying it but not sure if that would be possible.
Lets see what happens!

Tony,
I'd be interested to know the HP& TQ numbers for the exhaust with the 18" resonators since all I see is for the 12.

PS for the guys wondering the height: my drive way is about a 50 degree incline and i have to watch out for my front under spoiler more than the exhaust.

They are the same. The size of the resonator has no effect on power output.

The best question to date:tup:

God I hope this is true bc I hold off on my Mackin TP's:happydance: Thanks again Tony:tiphat:

Both resonators are straight through and we are talking about a difference in 6 inches in length. Although I have not dyno tested the two against each other, I feel that it is a safe bet to say there is no difference in numbers.

I am glad that you posted about the driveway and the height. I have heard very few complaints about scarping...

Tony

pls pm price for F.I. with 18" resonator(include shipping to CA9007). 12" is louder,right?? email: boat.aka@gmail.com

Correct, the system with the 12" resonators is the louder one. Sorry that it took a little while to get back to you. I will send you an email now...

Thanks, Tony

Hi Tony,
Please let me know if you recieved my pm

I did, the fastest and easiest way to get the order placed is to call me directly. If you prefer, I can call you. Just let me know what works better for you...

Talk to you soon,

Tony

so, what would you advise to go with if I have no intentions of changing my cats, and am looking for a little more aggressive note in my daily driver... 12", 18" or non-resonated? I am very interested in uping the power but am really disappointed with the exhaust note stock and want to be able to hear a difference with the CBE.

thanks in advance.

You cannot go wrong either way. By adding our exhaust to your Z, you will add depth and volume to the exhaust. In addition, there is absolutely no rasp at all. What the 18's will do over the 12's is just make the interior sound slightly quieter. At the end of the day though I feel it will not be too loud for you if you choose to go with the 12's and stay with the stock cats. Pleas do not hesitate to ask if you have nay further questions...

Thank you, Tony

Figured I would post my vids in here. F.I. cat back, carbon fiber mufflers, 12 in. resonators and Berk HFC's.

sorry if it was stated be4 but how much does the cat back and high flow cats weigh compared to stock? thanx

It is no problem. I will give you the weights in the following breakdown:

Stock Catalytic Converters: 22 LBS.
Stock Cat Back exhaust system: 57 LBS.

FI High Flow Cats: 13 LBS.
FI TDX Cat Back w/Stainless mufflers: 47 LBS.
FI TDX Cat Back w/Carbon Fiber mufflers: 41 LBS.

*Note*-Both of our cat back exhaust system weights were taken with the 12" resonator option. With 18" resonators, our exhaust might be 1 pound heavier but with no resonators it would be 2-4 pounds lighter...

Thanks, Tony

Sounds great. Looks like there are some Family Guy fans in the stands...

Are there any decibel readings for the 12inch and 18 resonator exhausts? just interested to know how they compare.

Awesome :bowrofl:

Will be putting my review soon.
