Buyers remorse because it was too loud?

cooltoy 08-27-2014 09:16 PM

Yes. The first few days it was louder then I was hoping and the wife was complaining. But today it was perfect. Lets see how it sounds tomorrow.

I knew it was going to get quieter, but was not sure by how much.

Could be your "ear dyno" telling you how awesome it sounds now. :tup:

And any buyers remorse for me that existed disappeared after the cold start at the shop and wasn't even a thought after the test drive after the install. And forget about the drive home or the last six plus months of ear orga$ms I have experienced. Just saying :D

I received my CBE on the 27th. I just finished installing her this morning. Easy and strait forward install after removing the old exhaust. It took me a good 5 hrs to remove my nismo one. Had a super seized nut that would not come out. I sprayed a gallon of pb on her, use a 1/2 socket on a breaker with my jack' s 2' bar on them end and still no2 give. I guess 34 k miles with of corrosion got the best of her ads me. Ended up taking the cross member off and removing the thing in one piece minus the muffler. PITA !! Out then only took me 40 minuts to install the F I and get my car back on the ground. Only help I needed was hanging the two mufflers.

Got my shipping confirmation today (to be delivered 9/5). I'm order #1002.

tmjohansen 09-01-2014 08:20 PM

For those who have had their FI exhaust professionally installed, how did you get the exhaust to the shop? Does it fit in the Z, or is it best to get it there via another vehicle?

johnxxx 09-01-2014 08:54 PM

I just got my FI race pipes and cbe delivered directly to my shop last week and they installed it last Thursday. Guess I'd be close to #1000. I can tell you when I picked it up I brought 3 large blankets and 4 large bath towels and I was able to bring my stock cats and the nismo cbe home with me. It all fit in the back with no problems with just a little overhang between the seats.

I had FI ship it to my shop.

After a few days the non-res quiets down just a shade in the cabin and loses that bass and boominess that was slightly making me wish I had gone 12"

Had my wife drive it in a separate vehicle (RAV-4). The stock came back in the RAV as well.

cooltoy 09-02-2014 12:14 PM

On another note. Is it just me, or does everyone's tips have a bit of a yellow/gold tint to them?

I haven't had mine installed yet, but I set it up to be shipped to the shop doing the install. I'm not sure if the exhaust system will fit in the Z. I'm probably going to have to bring a truck with me when it's installed to take home the stock exhaust..

Still figuring out where I'm going to store the stock system! Probably going to look to sell the catback and keep the stock cats for smog purposes.

Unless you polish them religiously they will have that goldish tint. I would Nevr-Dull them and get it nice and shiny like new, but then I realized I kind of like the gold tint. :D

cooltoy 09-02-2014 08:57 PM

They came out of the box yellowish. Either that or it yellowed in a day or so.

So you saying that is not how they are supposed to look? I can make them look more silver?

You like the gold because you are a Lakers fan.

It is possible that they yellowed after a couple of days, non expert opinion is it could be the heat. Attachment 93727

The first pic is from the day I got it installed, second is right now. Attachment 93728

Although I don't think I like it because I'm a Lakers fan. LOL!!! Not quite the same gold.

I would probably Nevr Dull it and see how long it takes or maybe someone else can chime in with how often they have to polish it to stay silver.

How many miles on it royalityB?

Since I have had the exhaust or since I last polished?

If since I had the exhaust, about 4300 miles, if since I polished it, about 4100.

For the record the car is washed at least twice a month; which includes wiping down the tips. (Not polishing)

Pic from today, the car was washed 9 days ago.

Super Werty 09-02-2014 11:01 PM

Blue magic polish, nickel sized drop on a micro fiber towel. That gold will wipe right off and look brand new again in seconds:tiphat:

Mine turns gold about once a month

Had my Fast Intentions RHFC's installed today by the lovely people at Hill's Garage! Lucked up on a brand new set the customer ordered but where for HR when he had DE. I love them great product they are paired with my Ark Grip. Great product no hiss, drone, no CEL.

Holy crap 1008? Mine was number 473. It seems so long ago. Way to go Fast Intentions!

Last weekend I polished mine using Mother's chrome polish.The yellow was polished right off and they're just as bright as ever. They look good, they sound good, and everyone that hears them tells me they are amazing. I installed them back in April 2012, more than 2 years ago, and they are still shiny and sound good. Definitely a good product with great quality, well worth the money spent. More so than ever, I still get a thrill listening to them every time I crank her up. Thank you Tony!:tiphat:

Nice man, hows it sounding? I should #1004 installed by noon on friday.

YzGyz 09-10-2014 11:15 PM

Make sure you guys and gals go back under your car and re-tighten all the nuts and bolts. I went under my car today and found one bolt and two nuts were missing. I had to go to home depot and buy 66c worth of 3/8 nuts and bolt. They don't have the big flat end like the ones that came with the kit but it will hold until I find the correct ones.

Bonillaraf 09-11-2014 03:09 PM

#1008 got and installed the CF Exhaust, great product! Thanks Tony
