Fast Intentions TDX CBE SS 18" Res and HFC non-Res... Yes, another review.

CC_370z

I ordered the F.I. CBE on 10/21/11 (#412) and the package arrived on 12/28/11. I took it to AWDTuning in Flower Mount, TX (They're AWESOME!)

Sorry for the quality of the pictures, they're from my phone.

Packaging was impressive.

and


After the car was up on the lift, 20 min later, the stock CBE was out.

and


The stock cat, however is a nightmare, but that is another story.


Once the stock cat is removed with 1500lbs you know what.. yes, lol, the F.I. HFC is installed. (No, the demon bolts did not break.)

This is the fuel line wraping and it was done with ease. I am a little concern with it but the tech said it was fine. I did bent the heat shield up a little and away from the muffler, but it wasn't touching to begin with. The exhaust lined up perfectly with no adjustment at all.


and finally



The sounds are amazing. After watching many countless videos including youtube's one, none of them prepare me for the real deal. At idling and low RPM, the exhaust sounds very deep. Once I opened her up, it was super amazing. Again, no words can describe it.

I did reset the ECU and let the car idle for like 15 mins before taking her for a cruise. I feel like I am driving a different car. I feel the power increase right away through out RPM band. The sounds are PERFECT in my opinion. The setup is dead on and I am extremely happy.

Thank you TONY!
