Unfortunately, I have yet to see a HFC offered for the Z that has a metallic core, all of them are ceramic and will blow out with the higher EGTs of FI.
well, these pieces that are coming out are metallic...doesn't that mean it's a metallic core?

Also, i have a friend that has a pair of test pipes that he isn't currently using. So since i have FI, will it be a problem if i don't get it tuned right away?
