Is anyone using the 12" res and RTP combo? I'd def. Like to see some more videos on. It. Also it seems like more people are using HFC than the test pipes.. I'm guessing emissions?

That's exactly the setup I ordered (12" CBE with RTP). Once I install it (hopefully I won't take too long to do that), I'll take a video and post it here.

Nickh1220 02-16-2016 07:49 PM

Please do! Make one hell of a review/vid. I'm ecstatic. :happydance:

just for anyone currently looking at the amazing FI exhaust I recently made a new vid.

had some slightly decent weather last weekend up in the north.

setup in the vid is all FI. non-res test pipes with non-res cat back with carbon fiber muffler option.

make sure to put in 1080p for best sound quality.

..........but this is my quiet set-up :wtf2:

GOBLUE 02-17-2016 01:46 PM

Well after months of researching specs, video clips, reviews, prices, etc., I finally placed my order! I went with the 18" resonators, stainless steel system. Now 3 months of waiting patiently... :tup:

And if you haven't seen the updated FI website, check it out. It was very easy to navigate and use, and made ordering a breeze!

You are right, the new website is awesome! I would expect as much from FI, they are a class act!

johncarlopang 02-17-2016 03:17 PM

hi everyone, this is it i want to place an order but holding me back of the CF non reso will be too loud? or the CF 18" will be too quiet? i've watched the videos but couldnt justify if its too loud in person.

there is no such thing as "too loud" lol :tiphat:

cooltoy 02-17-2016 06:26 PM

CF cans do not affect the volume, just the note.

ItsOmega 02-17-2016 06:49 PM

this slipped my mind. when I got my carbon fiber exhaust installed, the machanic said " the clear coat will fade." is this true??

cooltoy 02-17-2016 07:40 PM

First I have heard of this being an issue. Pretty sure there has not been any cases of CF cans deteriorating in any way.

Go with the 18 inch resonated if you want a smoother, deeper, and throatier tone and if its not loud enough for you get a set of test pipes. If that's not loud enough for you you might want to look into something more extreme like a Tomei system.

I had my CF canisters a little over two years no fading.

Not to worry. We've sold hundreds carbon fiber mufflers over the years with no reports of fading.

I personally had carbon fiber mufflers on my car for almost 3 years. They looked as good as the first day that Tony installed them.

FPenvy 02-18-2016 12:23 AM

I have 40-50k miles on my cf cans and not one bit of fading or issues. One baby rock chip on the leading edge of the one can but that's it after all this time.

Finally just ordered mine! :D Went with 12" resonators, stainless steel. I know the wait will be worth it, I just hope it goes by somewhat quickly. The new website is so much better!

Array 02-19-2016 12:15 AM

Pulled the trigger just now, Number 1387.!

TBatt 02-19-2016 10:52 AM

61 degrees yesterday so I got to drive my Z with the windows down. Finally I get to hear what everyone on the outside of the car hears. OMG, I REALLY LOVE THE SOUND!!!

It is well worth the wait time, money and install effort!

Had a close call this morning, a radar trap was set up down the street from where I live. The Passport saved me! The guy in front of me got caught. One of the cops pulled out and followed me for several miles. I think he was just enjoying the sound.........

I noticed on their website that they have an option for nismo now. i don't recall them having that when i ordered mine a couple of years ago. does this mean that the tips extend out more? it fit perfect on my Z but i got a 2015 nismo and swapped it to that but the tips don't come out all the way.

AV8rZ 03-02-2016 04:10 PM

I'm #1320. Had mine installed couple weeks ago. I tried but couldn't break some nuts loose. Nothing I say hasn't been said before but figured I'd give them F.I. some well deserved appreciation. I also ordered the oil cooler and installed it too. These guys were amazing through the whole thing! I would buy every part I could from these guys!

First is the wait. No lie, no sugar coat, it freaking SUCKS! Especially towards the end. I just ordered it and forgot about it. I would do it all over again.

I have Non Resonated Carbon Fiber. I am so freaking glad I went with this. I paid good money and waited an eternity so I could hear my exhaust and I would have been extremely disappointed if it was any quieter! For me personally I can't imagine going with resonators. Only if you were going to change the Cats then maybe and MAYBE if it's a daily. Everyone's different. I will admit it does have a tiny bit of drone ONLY at certain RPM's in certain gears. 60 MPH in 6th = drone. 80 MPH in 6th = 0 drone. Basically my experience is lower speed, higher gear, lower RPM = a little tiny bit of very tolerable drone IMO. The sound is addicting! I am in love with my car now. I think I burn twice as much gas now just because I'm living in high RPM's. When I first called Kevin asking about the drone I told him that I was the guy who turns the radio off so I can hear the exhaust and he was like "you definitely need to go with Non Resonated." Point is, just like everyone else has said, if you like to hear your exhaust go with Non Res. If you're worried at all about the drone, go with 18" and call it a day. My wife hasn't complained 1 time about drone and she really does have a vagina! Just sayin!

Give these guys your business, you won't be disappointed!

Yes!!! You should have gone non-resonated

GordoNx3o9 03-02-2016 04:59 PM

Too late. Mine's probably ready to ship by next week or so.

On a brighter note I can always enjoy the sound with my top down!

I'm sure you will love it no matter what you ordered. And what little difference there is you'll probably never know because your sound will drown someone else's out anyway. Good thing is you can always increase volume by getting their HFC's or Test Pipes and you'll gain another 10HP. I didn't care about the cats because I hope to slap their turbo kit on someday anyway. Also if you're not happy you can usually find someone who would be willing to trade your 18" resonators for their Non Res setup. Non Res is obviously not for everyone or everyone would have it.

Spooler 03-04-2016 07:57 PM

I got rear-ended on the way home today. The FI exhaust is toast. Help a fellow and let me know what I can do. Do I just need to order a whole new exhaust? I want to.

Hotrodz 03-04-2016 08:06 PM

I would or find a good used one, or get a good cheap used one and save your money so you can get a FI 3" when you get the TT.

I would like to request a simple idea, please put a counter on your new website numbering where you guy's are with the FI Exhaust build #. As much as I love coming here to get an idea of when my exhaust will be built, it would be so much fun to go to your brand new website and see the number's presented there. :driving:
