I think it is funny as hell to see people come on this fourm and want to (or already know how) reinvent the wheel,and think they know more than the manufacturer that made the exhaust.

Thanks for your opinions on the matter. Looking forward to the test pipes

As far as your TQ comment, I'm guess your basing your opinion because or your two WRX's you have. That is a bad comparison. You are comparing a turboed boxer engine vs a N/A V6. Not exactly the closest thing to compare to.

Please save your opinions war for PMs and if you have further questions I suggest calling F.I. directly.
Ill add one. I see their answer, I disagree as I stated with everything I've said like ground clearance so we can leave it at that. I just wanted an answer and I got theirs so end of story.

All manufactures of cars that pay millions and millions of dollars into R&D use donut gaskets, flex pipes or both so its not me reinventing the wheel! It's FI doing something different so pardon my questioning when I see something out of the major norm!

You shouldn't question an exhaust company on how they do something when they have sold about 800 sets of this CBE and a waiting list 3-5 months ,also use sets of these go for like 1000 bucks used.

I would either get inline and wait,or I don't know go with Topspeed.

Well you sure did have a hard on for it.
Setup and catalitic converter question???

And FYI, I didn't ship that box, I coordinated the sale. Next time try and be accurate about the dirt you try to dig up and throw. You don't even know the full story behind it to comment. You plan on buying this instead and using a HFC as a muffler and attach it to the X pipe now? Wait, you are gonna tear it apart and add flex joints.

As I've said before, now that I have my FI swag if I had to buy another system I'd be willing to wait 6 months if I had to. I've helped friends install a couple other brands of exhausts on 370's and G's and this is still BY FAR the best exhaust I've ever come into contact with. It's well worth the wait, have some patience

For those guys that are expecting their exhausts soon, enjoy. This is what you have to look forward to.

quick question for others - any feedback on others experiences with FI test pipes/LTH/HFC's in combination with their FI exhaust? i'm looking for things along the lines of eg: "got HFC's wish i got headers" or "got test pipes, but wish i got HFC's because of the smell", or "got headers but i feel like it's a little loud for daily driving"

I'm looking to pair it with the FI 18" SS setup and I've debated the HFC/TEST PIPE/LTH question for soooo long now so hopefully others can chime to make me finally make a decision!

Think to yourself, what's more important:

Highest HP Gain
Volume
Sound
Fumes
Drone/Road Noise


Then rank those 1-5. When you know what your preferred ranking is, then we can tell you the best answer.

Thank you, Blake
