Fast Intentions Long Tube Headers are here!

Jamaica

is the hiss getting annoying? does it sound bad? hopefully you feel the power

Power yes, I uninstalled my intakes awhile back, and this weekend I went from just Catback to Catback + Intakes + LTH and their is absolutely a big difference. I'm taking the car in to get tuned by Uprev HQ soon and will post final dyno numbers after tune is complete.

I honestly didn't know the sound would change so much and the hissing noise would overpower the exhaust note so much. I don't like it. The physics behind it make sense, as now that there is more flow through the exhaust, the hissy-ness of the x-pipe would only get worse. I'll try and take a video of what I'm talking about tomorrow. Hopefully the audio equipment can do it justice.

I'm glad the Z isn't my daily driver, because it would get old fast. From some of the other stuff I've read on here, its a factor of the car itself, and is prevalent with other exhaust as well, not just FI's. I think the long tube headers just bring attention to something that I didn't notice nearly as bad when I just had the cat-back.

interesting. my car is a daily driver and honestly i want to hear the hiss. If you feel the power then maybe i can just tuneout the hiss.

I personally think it EVERYONE who has the long tube headers needs th 18" resonators only. At this point I have heard enough in person to make me believe the 18" is a smoother sound with less buzz or hiss!

The hiss is created by the car as we all know and the headers just enhance it. Bottom line, the more free flowing exhaust you have the more prominent the hiss will be. Now, with the combination of our long tube headers and cat back exhaust this is as free flowing as it gets!

On a side note, I am getting married on July 3rd and I will be out of the office from starting July 2nd and will not be returning until July 12th. MY GOAL is to have the entire group buy completed and shipped before I leave. That is sets #1-25! That leaves 5 more sets within the next two weeks. I will make it happen. I know that this has taken longer than most have expected, myself included. Let's remember though production started a month late due to the tooling being almost a month late. In addition we have discovered that production on these is a little more time consuming than originally projected. I will always keep the lines of communication open, this is why I am telling all of this...

Thanks, Tony
