Darn you on the west coast! I'm 1779, scheduled delivery for friday :icon14:

Be patient and think how good it will sound in those beautiful Virginia hills.

It really is very nicely crafted. Friday will be a good day....

Well packaged too......

Did the install today. Nice thing about good equipment is if you do good, clean work the end product is so satisfying to look at.

The throttle response is what I have been looking for. Stillen Gen 3 up front and the FI
CBE in the back. I reset the ECU, and the car doesn't seem to know what's up yet. I think it needs data.

Thank you FI. Tune next. Seb at Specialty Z has the gig. I love this car.....

If throttle response is what you want, get an Ecutek tune. The combination of the three produce incredible results.

Glad to hear you're enjoying the exhaust system.

Just wait until Seb tunes it for you. Feel free to post your dyno result here.

Enjoy!

To work and back today was 75 miles down from the mountains of San Diego and return. 24.6 avg MPG at 36.4 avg MPH. ECU is getting the hang of it. I feel a heck of a lot of power at the top end that did not feel available before. It certainly roars......

I highly recommend this system. If you are on the fence, better jump.

Installed over the weekend, twas a marvelous journey. You can never believe the hype until you witness it for yourself. Of course i was suspicious, after owning many different exhausts over multiple platforms, but it is the truth! Catback with 12" resonators. Best exhaust i've ever owned, quality made and beautiful sound. Only thing odd to me was the different bolt sizes for installation, and why no METRIC!!!!! Anyways, buy this and you will never look back.

And I'm 1820!
Kevin, you rock!

Resonated HFC with driver and pass wideband bungs
18" resonated with Carbon fiber and stainless tips

ETA mid to late March - will be followed by a ECUTek tune (7AT driven like a manual lol) with ZFever in Tampa FL and Innovative Dual sensor gauge replacing the stock clock pod

With any luck, Kevin et. al. will make it in time for a hella Bday present before March 29!

Day two: when I got to work and shut down, I averaged 42 MPH and 28.3 MPG. 35 miles with hills. Bending oil smell gone now. I had a white souped up Supra come up next to me and started throttle chopping his car to make it backfire. I assume it was because the exhaust looks nice, or sounds nice, or both.

I drive an AT in this car, and the manual downshift with the rev matching is so much more enjoyable now that the engine is sounding through those FI pipes. I keep thinking I am done talking about the install, then I find something else I like about it.

The other cool thing is I am really starting to respect that ECU we have. Every time I throw something at it, it answers the call.

I Love This Car.

Ever consider doing HFCs?

Yes, but.....California. Still worth it. It must be amazing.

I highly recommend.

I am curious as I have seen some members say that with Berk HFC they passed emissions. Anyone have documented detail on FI HFC in Cali?

I'm in FL but chose HFC anyway to avoid hassle with current reg hungry leg in effect ( banking on a "damn it" scenario)

I'm in Maryland and my emission check is due this spring. I'm hoping for the best. Worst case scenario, I'll have to swap out the berks with my oem cats, get it reinspected and then swap them out again. My son's roach coach passed emissions last year with a hole in the cat-back, so I'm hoping I won't have any issues.

#1830 can’t wait!

Just Ordered :D

The wait is long, but we'll worth it.

What options did you go with?

If it goes to 12 wk wait time then it should arrive on my birthday!!!

Ended up going with 12in resonators and stainless the rest of the way to fit the look of the car

The wait is up to a year?

yea I caught the typo and fixed it. my bad

Order 1788 just shipped. Can’t wait!

I was order 1820 on Jan 15th and 17 days later, IllusTwo3 says he was at 1830 - glad I got mine in a bit ahead of tax refund time! lol

Girly's mom and Dad coming for a visit in March and her Mom said she wanted me to take her for a "fast" ride in the car - hoping exhaust is here by then but gonna be close! 1788 just shipped yesterday, 1780 on Jan 18... about 4-5 a week roughly? not looking promising...

Upside - sounds like the wait for the quality is worth it!

Im ready to order mine,:tup:

So how do you guys do it, call or place the order online.

I did mine online.

I called, since I wanted to discuss my options.

Online if you are certain.
Call if you want to make sure that the sound and style you want (and tech options for current and future intent) is right for your choice - Get Kevin. Good guy and will set you right.

Guess which I did? LOL

Online....Kevin.....

Thank guys.
Gonna order online.

Happy to say I just ordered my second Fast Intentions exhaust system! This time non-resonated but still with the Carbon Fiber cans.

Cannot wait!

That's what I have, and I LOVE it.

Installed mine tonight. The build quality is seriously top knot notch Thick flanges, smoothed internal welds, quality bolts and gaskets. Fits like a glove. It’s has a nice deep tone, no rasp, and really opens up as you get on the gas. Couldn’t be happier!! Thanks Kevin and the rest of the fast intentions group!

Grats! considering self install, but worried about that damn demon bolt. How did you fair? Only 15k on mine but still... worried... I don't own a lift but can rent a bay so don't want to spend the hours paying that could rack up to what I'd pay a mechanic to install anyway

if you’re just doing the exhaust and not replacing the casts, you’ll be fine with a few wrenches. I put on test pipes and the 2 demon bolts snapped right off which was nice and easy. Mines a 2015 with about 15k miles. Did everything in my garage on jack stands.

Also, I heard some people had some luck by tightening them a tad first, and then try and loosen them.

If you are doing HFCs as well, I suggest soaking the bolts down with liquid wrench 24-48 hours before. This is much easier if it isn't your daily driver. I put my Z up on jack stands several days before and sprayed the bolts down several times a day for three days. From there I used several extensions and an impact socket. My son was under the car holding the socket firmly on the bolt while I was up top turning the breaker bar. Both came off fairly easily. I was actually surprised. I've been told they came off that easy because my car had low mileage.

If you aren't doing HFCs, you won't need to deal with them at all.

Diy?
 

I only did the CBE, no HFCs, so a relatively simple install. But I'm too damned old (number 67 coming up) to be crawling under a car on ramps & jack stands anymore. I looked into renting a bay and compared costs to having a trusted shop do the install. Cost me just north of $300 for the good guys at the shop vs. $167/hr. for the bay rental. Actually cost me less ($$$ and personal wear & tear) to have it done. I just had Kevin ship directly to the shop. The important thing is to have a shop that you know and trust to take pride in doing quality work. Don't just go to a chain muffler outlet and hope for the best.

If anyone is looking to get a Fast Intentions exhaust, keep an eye on Next Level Performance's instagram.

They have offered 7% offer sales for FI stuff before - saved me around $100 bucks.

Note that Fast Intentions cannot/will not directly sell HFC/LTH to California customers. this is why i ordered from a non-CA retailer.

I know I'm still several weeks out but I'm dying for an updated list!?

Johnny in Granger....hey Hoosier.
From Indy, now in San Diego. I wish I could help you with the list, but I can't. I will say its really, really worth the wait.

This exhaust has settled in so nicely. I have had to watch the bolts and do some torqueing as the system settled in, but the sound has mellowed and the ends are starting to get a nice patina. The real benefits are the available power at the high end. This FI catback and a Stillen Gen 3 has transformed my Touring setup so much from stock.

On your Nismo it's going to impressive.

I am so happy with it I completely forgot about how long I waited for it.

Clean that ****.
