FI Review 18" Resonators CF Mufllers
 

Installation was a breeze.

Sound is amazing Deep and exotic.

No drone when car is cold or when not fully wormed up.

I notice something strange with the tips. when the car is cold looking at the tips from above its tucked under the bumper. after worming up the car and taking the car for a cruse (trying to get the oil temp to 180) did a couple of hard third and fourth gear runs. Stopped and checked the tips and it was out by an ~inch. and the tips goes back to its original place when it cools down.

I first noticed this after i came home from a trip on the highway. I thought that i needed to re tight the exhaust. woke up in the morning and the tips were back in their place. I thought that i was hallucinating from the long trip.

I just want to share my experience with my current and future fellow F.I.
I'm in love with this exhaust. I can't stay off the throttle. and if i would do it all over again I'll buy the same setup.

Update videos:





in cabin sound


These videos don't do justice to the great sound of this exhaust. It sounds great in person. First time filming. I'll try to get better footage next time.

metal expands when its hot, thats why the tips stick out after its warmed up. good review btw!

Or your car is sporting dual 'wood' from the way you're 'driving' it. You must be really getting on that biatch :)

I have the same setup coming to my door in about a week, also included will be FI resonated test pipes. If you are able, I'd love to hear what the CF 18" mufflers sounds like.

Thanks

Someone finally commented on that post!

It is always great to see that we have another satisfied customer out there.

When the exhaust gets hot, it does expand and the tips will stick out about 1/4"-3/8" further than when the car and exhaust are cold. This is part of the reason why we always tend to slightly tuck our tips on our production systems. Your car is going to spend the majority of its time at operating temperature which is hot!

If you need anything else or have have any questions please do not hesitate to ask...

Thank you, Tony

I know that. It's just on my cars and motorcycles i own and owned in the past I haven't seen this happen to them.

Tony, sure i will need something from you. LTH maybe :tup:

didn't install the R.T.P yet, I'll try to get some video uploaded.

Thanks!

maybe its the nature of the type of metal used for the exhaust? idk. my stock exhaust doesn't have any noticeable movement. my stock rsx exhaust never expanded, but when i put the Spoon exhaust on it, it moved out a good 3/4" when hot and rattled the frame hehe!

Check first post. Update with videos.

The videos are LEGIT, nice work!

155 MPH, pretty fast. Good thing you did it late with no one around. The car sounds great though. I may have to use these videos myself...

Thanks, Tony

awesome vids! the second makes it sound like a jet is flying by! have any take-off from behind vids?

Yeah, in that second video it does sound like a jet coming at you. I wish I had a street near me where we could open it up but in LA it is hard to come by!

Oh... my.


Oh my.


Welp, I already was pretty sure I wanted this exhaust. Now I am confident in this. To wait for break-in or not to wait... oh god.

Amazing videos! The roads look very familiar though ;)

They all look the same on that side of the world! Ha Ha JK... :driving:

Hey Sam, Update!

I have the G37 coming in next Thursday for test fitment of the headers and i will also be installing the new style X Pipe on it. We are getting closer my friend. I tried updating the G37 forum a few days ago but it is so slow and half the time I get redirected...

Tony

Hahaha true that!

That's good to hear man! I updated the thread on myG37 for you.

Sent you an email too btw

They are yours.

I do have a take-off vid. I need to edit it. i'll upload it soon.

:tup:

Sounds amazing specially in the second video.:icon18:..and trust me man when i saw the first video I said to myself its not US at all as the road looks like from Alain (where I live)..then saw ur in Qatar...have to agree with SAM on this..all deserted road with desert on the side looks the same

cant wait to install mine next month :)

awesome! that may be all i need to seal the deal!

anyone know what the sound difference is between the carbon and steel mufflers is?

x2

I hate seeing people doing top speed through afternoon traffic. If you're going to speed, do it in the middle of the night, preferably twenty miles from civilization.

Yeah but you didn't comment on how insanely sick the car sounds.

anyone sound difference between the carbon and steel mufflers F.I.?

Carbon gives you a more exotic sound. Lambo type

well thats cool

And they look good too!

The roads over there look fun as hell. I have been dying to go to a place like Dubai, or some other neighboring country.

Great review. Damn your crazy. I can't really tell too much of a difference bewteen these and the stainless steel from the videos. FI catback sounds amazing on both setups.

^ English is not my first language. Sorry if my spelling or grammar is bad...

as far as people get the meaning its ok :) great review btw...will wait for the next video..

Vid links dont work :confused:

But, I found them on youtube. Awesome!

Sounds incredible! nice quick shifts in the top speed vid. I'm getting that same exhaust very soon.

Nice clips, awesome pipe!

Nice clips!
I wish we had runways like that here in cali!
Wow the exhaust is awesome....
