What are we supposed to document our driving with AAM on a daily basis?

But you did have it installed for over a year and I can't find any sort of warranty or grantee information on their site after something is used.

Not doubting your story nor am I saying it didn't happen to you, but do you have some images of this Fast Intentions problem? What did the gents at FI say and do about this?

I bought test pipes from them and they told me they wouldn't throw a CEL. I installed them and they threw a CEL. When I e-mailed them about it they basically said "oh well."

I have the FI resonated high flow cats and it's my only concern with the design as there's no support bracket. I've found at least two documented cases, on this site, of the FI high flow cats cracking at the weld. Both were in the same place. I check mine every time I change the oil.

I've gone so far as to order another OEM cat brace and plan on installing it with custom-made and welded on brackets to the FI pipes. There was a noticeable increase in vibration at idle after installing them. The vibration disappears just off idle.

lmao it's because you keep going to track nights at harris hill. bumpy *** track....

my invidia broke at the midpipe hanger, but It may have been because there was no give with my poly exhaust hangers.

I have also noticed this as well with their quality. Fitment is a HUGE problem. The midline spipe hardly even sits straight through my exhaust. me and buddy tried many different things but couldn't get it to sit straight without rattling the rear. So there it sits, crooked. But it sounds decent, does what it's supposed. Welds actually looked pretty damn good on the aam piece I have.
