#1199; looks like I'll be up next week :woot:

FI is doing the install so I'll be sure to post photos if they are cool with it.

TaroBaapG35 07-20-2015 01:59 PM

Installed..
 
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/378/1...471408bb_b.jpg

Installation took ~1hr-1hr 30, Had to bend the heat shield a little and add 2 washers to both rear hangars to even out tips.

Completely worth the Wait.

Videos/Review to come soon (After Break in is complete ~End of Week)

At home: (Car is sitting @ Stock Height)

Um got a question? Washers added and bend the heat shield, is that common?

Yep! Actually, both are included in the installation instructions! Here's some screenshots from it:

It's common on 2009-Early 2012 Models. Mine being early 2012, I had to bend the heat shield back so that the Mufflers are not touching/scraping it. Washers were added to level out the exhaust. Not necessary that everyone will have to, but it's common.

Mind if I ask where you had your exhaust installed?

klee370z 07-22-2015 07:28 PM

I lucked into a used FI Non-Res CBE set from a guy that decided to part out his car and sell it. Other than a few minor dings and scratches, it was in great shape! Called up the guys at FI and got all new gaskets and hardware sent and I installed it 2 days ago. Wow what a fantastic sounding exhaust! You can watch a 100 videos on YouTube, but hearing it in person is the only way to do it justice. I would also echo what other have said about the customer service at FI. They are very helpful and friendly, I will definitely be using them for future mod purchases.

BlackZeda 07-23-2015 09:35 AM

I am just a few short weeks away from the completion of my FI CF CBE (18" Resonated) and RHFCs and am having JWT Pop Chargers and the Z1 Plenum installed at the same time. An Uprev tune will be performed at the same time.

I think a few people have a similiar setup, but I am wondering how the Pop Chargers will affect the sound?

On a side note: I know that the JWT Pop Chargers aren't the best intake in regard to power gain, but I think there would be at least some benefit with this setup. Is this wishful thinking? I also have the Seibon GTR style hood, which to my surprise the small vents are functional in the sense that my oil temps have stayed lower even especially when moving on hot days so far. I would think that this would benefit the Pop Chargers and thus the exhaust.

Any opinions one way or the other?

I had the same exact experience!

They even emailed me a PDF of the install instructions. It's an awesome exhaust backed by even better customer service.

1190 set to be shipped. Should have my tracking number today or tomorrow

ZWig22 07-23-2015 03:44 PM

Mine has arrived! Have an appointment on Tuesday to get it installed. Will post some more pics afterwards.

I was a little nervous myself about doing the install, but once you get under there and get going, it's really pretty simple. WD40 is the key, there is also a pretty good video on YouTube that you can use for a reference along with the instructions. You have probably looked at it already, but here is the link if you haven't. Good luck

1199 will be installed this Friday as per mattanthony23, so Assume that the # currently running is in the range of 1199-1210.

And regarding waiting...it sucks..but its DEF worth it. I haven't stopped smiling since installation.

Here is a clip of mine to hold you guys over:

Im #1200. Mine will ship out this friday.

osbornsm 07-30-2015 10:12 AM

Hey for reference to all those who have scraped off the bottom of their exhaust cans...

The axle-back portion of the FI system is $600 + ship.

I know because both my exhaust cans have holes in them.
AND IM AT OEM HEIGHT.

Cost of our rear muffler section is dependent on what muffler option is chosen.

I found a local shop to do mine. Installed it for $100. He said it was one of the easiest after-market exhaust installs he had ever done. Everything fit. He seemed surprised. Took him 90 minutes. It would take me all day, so $100 well spent.

ZWig22 07-30-2015 07:59 PM

My exhaust was installed on Tuesday (28th)! This exhaust is no joke. I am extremely impressed with the sound. The best fitment bar none. Hats off to FI for creating an amazing exhaust. Completely worth the wait. I have the SS 12" Res with the non-res HFC's.

I live in the Charlotte, NC area and had SOHO Motorsports install the exhaust. The install was quick and clean. Will definitely be back for any other work I don't do myself. These guys know what they are doing and take care of your vehicle.


Pics turned out a little pixelated after re-sizing (used some crappy Windows 10 app!)

Picked up the exhaust yesterday, everything looked a ok pay number 1195, install next week

mattanthony23 07-31-2015 02:55 PM

#1199 installed this morning (non res SS)...Umm...wow...

All the cliché sayings like "videos dont do it justice" are there for a reason. This exhaust system is no joke!!! Granted it's brand new so it is louder now than it ever will be, but I literally laughed all the way home because of how violent and beautiful it sounded.

Touché FI. Can't wait to get on this thing after the heat cycles. Photos and videos to come for those still waiting in limbo.

dmhenderson 08-01-2015 07:09 PM

Hey quick question: I had my passenger exhaust hanger break (right at the weld) after about 12k miles. Not a complaint or anything but do I need a TIG welder to fix it or can any only muffler shop fix it? I checked the FI site and it doesn't mention what stainless grade they use.

Edit: also kind of a weird failure. Snapped off right at the weld with no impact (I'm stock height). Noticed a buzzing noise at idle and figured out the problem pretty quickly after that.

Here is a shot of my car right after the installation, parked outside the Fast Intentions shop. Thanks again to Tony and your crew for doing an awesome job. I am completed floored by the amazing quality and sound of the exhaust:

Below are YouTube links for three videos. 1st one is a stock exhaust cold start and the other two are non-res SS cold starts. My car is bone stock except for k&n drop ins. I hope the deepness of the new sound is apparent on the videos:

whens your estimated delivery weeks?

SwissCheese 08-05-2015 08:02 PM

So ever since I had my FI exhaust (Resonated TP and catback w/ 18" res) installed, I've been getting a CEL (P0430) every couple of weeks. I'm assuming it's not due to bad/ruined sensors, since it takes a couple weeks to turn back on.

Is this the code that normally gets thrown when removing the cats? Is there anything I can do (besides getting a tune or returning the cats) to stop it from popping up?

cooltoy 08-05-2015 09:12 PM

Have you had your car upRev tuned?

Maybe it will help?

Hope all is well with everyone; not a secret, we are just keeping very busy in the shop.

The latest exhaust system that we are shipping today is #1206. An updated forum list is coming soon.

Thank you all for your business and patience. :tiphat:
