Just had my system installed. Everything went in fine and it fits like a glove. Tips line up perfectly. I LOVE the look of the carbon fiber mufflers. I didn't rev it high yet because I'm doing 2 or 3 of the recommended hot and cold cycles. It sounds freaking amazing though. HUGE thanks to Tony, Blake, and the rest of the FI team for making a great exhaust. I'll get some pictures up later.:tup:

I'm really debating between the CF or the SS for the FI exhaust. Look forward to seeing your pics. I heard there is a slight difference in sound between the two so I figure I'll check out some YouTube clips.

info on these cold/hot cycles? Yes, I'm a total noob:ugh2:

These pictures are crappy iphone pics, and it's a cloudy day so the lighting is poor too. I really like the look of the carbon fiber cans on gun metallic. When its darker they look almost black and I think they match the black accents on the car around the windows, and if you have window tint, the tint too. You can't go wrong either way but I think carbon fiber looks best on black, gun metallic, and 40th aniv Z's, maybe pearl white too, (the non colored Zs) and the colored cars look good with the ss cans. -totally personal opinion, but all that matters is that you like it. carbon fiber has a slightly higher "exotic tone"(not ricey at all) and ss has a slightly lower bassy throatier tone. Carbon fiber is "stealthier" looking while ss is more noticable.

It's just warming up the car to operating temperature, then letting it cool down completely. On the instructions it's recommended to do this at least 2 times to "prolong the life of the internals within the mufflers and tips"

Finally got er installed:tup:

370Z exhaust system FI carbon fibre CRAZY NOTES!!!!
:happydance:

Just finished installing mine. I have to say tony and the guys really do it right. Even the quality of the packaging was incredible. The fitment and sound is beyond my expectations. I wanna sleep in my car tonight. I probly would if I could run the a/c all night.

Angelo congrats on finally getting it installed!

This is probably a nooby question but, I am reading about using washers in case the tips aren't perfectly aligned - does the package come with these? If not what are they officially called/sized and where can I get them?

I'd assume most people go to Home Depot and grab a handful from the hardware aisle. Bring one of the bolts with you. I doubt you'll spend more than $3.

Oh ok, gotcha. So this is only done one time right after installation?

Woo! #774 here just 17 more :P

If you even need to. I didn't have any problem with mine, and some times it's caused because people not perfectly aligning the mid pipes. There's a good chance you won't need to use washers.

Yea just do it a couple times after its installed. It's basically like "breaking it in". I just drove strait home from the shop I had it installed at and just kept the rpms low, let the car cool down completely, then did 2 of the hot/cool down cycles in the driveway by lettin the car idle. I've been easy on it while driving the last 4 days, but ima get on it when I'm on my way home from work today:driving:

^^i think he was referring to the hot cold cycles:tiphat:
