Nissan 370Z Forum  

What's is the FI exhaust the most popular on this board?

I don't get it. looks wise, it looks like huge fart cans. It def takes the stock/sleeper look way out of the picture. It kinda looks ricy to some degree.

I guess I'm missing something... perhaps, preference? is there something negative about stillen or berk that I'm not aware of? please share with me.


Thank you!

Stillen: Had fitment issue from the beginning, the tips stick out
Berk: Finally is shipping

Fast Intentions filled the void with a fair priced, equal performance, good sound exhaust while the others were just getting going over having issues. Also, if you go back tot he 350 crowd, the angled muffler design is very popular.

It sounds the best, its one of the lightest, it looks great (subjective), and its the best performer.

Thank you!
If you would like you are more than welcome to call me directly and I can fill you in on the dozens of reasons why!

As I can see you are not a huge fan of the looks and that is ok. Looks and sound are subjective. However, performance and the fit of a system are not. I will not go into the fitment issues of the other two systems you mentioned. There are plenty documented issues on this forum and many others to explain it for you. If I do it, I will be opening a can of worms that I do not have time to clean up at the moment!

If you like there stock look then that is for you. On the flip side our system weighs much less and is dyno proven to have the highest gains. We also have over 100 units installed on no fitment issues.

When you deal with my company you speak to the owner and we will do our best to give you customer service that is second to none. Our systems are custom hand built by us. We are fabricators first and foremost and became business owners down the road. So we understand the entire process from cover to cover.

The cans themselves are not that bug in all actuality and like I stated before, if this is not a look that you are going for then I understand.

The list goes on and on, so please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions...

Thank you, Tony

I ordered my FI exhaust for a few reasons.

1. I saw the dyno sheets and vids. (peeked my interest)
2. It had all positive and no negative feedback from these forums.
3. I actually find the look of the angled canisters to be very sexy.
4. When I called, Tony provided excellent customer service. He really cares about his customers.

For me, it was a no brainer.

I actually think the CF looks good on a few select colors. It's not for my car but if I had one of the colors I thought it looked good on I would consider it.

Just curious, but what colors do you think the CF ones look good on? I'm not a big fan of the CF look, but I thought it would compliment the PG color well, so I chose that option.

I haven't seen in person but I could see it looking really good on a white Z.

Oh yeah, that looks really nice.

FI finished a close second for me. I feel like had I gone that route, I would have been completely satisfied, too. The value is definitely there.

In the end, I just liked the sound of the GReddy better and thus, justified the slightly higher price. In a Roadster that spends 90% of its life with the top down, sound was the biggest factor to me.
