I believe they ship them out at the end of the week, it's much easier to have the mail truck stop by once vs everyday. afaik

The cbe with 18" res and HFCs looks like a pretty sweet set up. I have seen a few other systems that neck down to the single pipe at the mid-pipe and thats not for me. True dual on these systems looks pretty awesome. Guess its going on the list that im not making....

Just got the headers and exhaust installed. And all I can say is WOW!!

Hopefully David and I can ride down to Birmingham one night so you can hear it with the headers.

There's always an excuse to jump in the car and drive!

I installed my Fast Intentions exhaust (SS, 18" resonators) exactly one week ago and I absolutely love it. Every time I start my car, the sound of the exhaust puts a big smile on my face. That deep bass tone is absolutely amazing. Well done F.I. - this exhaust was well worth the wait.

I'm hoping #754 arrives before the 4th of July. Getting anxious...

Are you happy with the sound levels or do you wish you had gone slightly louder with the 12" Res.

When sitting inside the car, the 18" resonator option is actually a lot quieter than I was expecting. All of the youtube videos I watched beforehand made it sound a lot louder than it actually is. Maybe its because I drive a G37 and most of the youtube videos involve a 370Z (different levels of sound dampening material)?

There is a bit of drone around 2000-2500 RPM, but it's tolerable. If I had gone with 12" resonators, I'd be concerned about the drone becoming overbearing. Maybe someone with 12" resonators can chime in on that.

I'm more than happy with my 12" resonators, I have HFC also so I think that makes it a little more louder. But cruising at 65 MPH I notice more the sound of the tires than the exhaust. At low RPMs it's a beast and that's the first reason I got an aftermarket exhaust, so I'm a happy camper...

@jburke

I started off placing an order for the 18" cf and after a month of watching vids and reading reviews I called Blake and switched my order to the 12" cf. Still concerned that I would want louder, I came across Huck's videos and it showed that the CF non-res really wasn't too bad inside the cabin and sounded like a beast from the outside so another call to F.I. was made.

I say if you're on the fence just keep doing research until you finally end up going with the non-res LOL jk

I don't know exactly what number they are on but I think you might have to wait til after the 4th. I'm 747 and (if im lucky) i think they might build mine sometime next week. Maybe they can crank yours out but I probably wouldn't bet on it.
