Getting mine installed on Wednesday. I'll take some before and after vids. I can't wait.

Just got my call from the man himself - Tony. Getting mine shipped out on Wednesday a day before my actual shipping Window! Big Ups to Tony, Blake, and Fast Intentions. Outstanding customer service.

Order #754

I wonder how the non-res tp's will differ from my art pipes.. I've seen videos of your setup and it sounds sick.. for a video at least. What other mods do you have? I also have Z1 post maf tubes and k&n's

Only extra mod besides the exhaust system I'm getting soon is the short ram k&n intake...nothing major but its a big help for now

. Oh and I have been waiting since april

..The Estimated delivery date for me is late july-august 17 :'(

I have to confess, the first thing that popped into my head when I heard this news this morning

28 people injured at Simi Valley fireworks show [VIDEO] » Ventura County Star

was........"I hope this doesn't impact the delivery date for my CBE"

/Angelo350Z/ · 07-05-2013, 10:20 PM

I received my exhaust on 1 July, took it to the dealership on the 3rd, and it's STILL not ready!!! This is the most incompetent shop I've ever worked with. In fairness to them, they don't install a lot of these aftermarket items. But an exhaust, especially F.I., is pretty straight forward. Oh well, it's going to be ready in a few hours. Oh, and they want to charge me between 4 and 5 hours of labor.

They did say the exhaust puts the Nismo to shame

Holy crap dude, it took me 1.5 hours to put my exhaust on. And that was me taking my time. I wouldn't pay more than 2 hours and that's being generous...

roplusbee · 07-05-2013, 11:25 PM

Demon Bolt added a couple hours to the labor cost?

Huck · 07-05-2013, 11:29 PM

Didn't he get only the CBE? They shouldn't even touch the demon bolt unless he got test pipes too...

Thanks, that's what I though. Man, I wish I had more shops to choose from. The same thing happened when they installed my springs; they had the car for over a day.

I also got the 18" RTPs.

Just talked to the Service Manager and he said the car is almost ready. At this point, I don't care about the delay anymore. I just want it installed properly.

/Angelo350Z/ · 07-06-2013, 03:16 AM

So I went to the dealership to pick up my car. The exhaust looks stunning and the exhaust note is music to my ears. Upon closer inspection of the tips, I noticed that the right tip is less than the thickness of a credit card away from the bumper and the left not centered

. To make a long story short, I won't get my car back until Monday. A 2 hour job is taking these guys almost 5 days. With the way things are going, I may never see my Z again.

EDIT: I don't recall the details, but I heard a "hiss" that I've never heard before, even in the FI exhaust clips. I think I only heard it whenever the RPMs dropped, after letting off the accelerator. It sounds like a leak, but I'm sure it's not. Maybe it's the VQ? I don't remember that from my 350Z though. It doesn't sound like the amplified sound of an aftermarket intake system either, because I don't have one. Must search this giant thread all over again.

megalapagas · 07-06-2013, 06:16 AM

I read up on that too^^ but I don't think soo I think its natural for the exhaust to hiss on decelaration (well on F.I exhaust that is)....would be great for ppl with this exhaust installed to chime in or F.I personell because I've been having that in mind aswell?
