Well, here is the problem I see from the pictures. It looks like the EVAP canister cover was never removed. I can see what looks like it in the picture above. What that tells me is whoever installed the exhaust system did not read the instructions that we sent with it!

The cover needs to come off to allow the passenger side muffler to sit correctly.

Call me if you have any questions on this or anything else pertaining to the install.

Thanks, Tony

Hey tony just reporting back, I saw Speedy Garages video on youtube installing a F.I exhaust system and yes the evap canister is remove....I believe I have to add washers so it can level out because both tips are touching. Only thing I need to know is what size of washers or if anyone can direct me to a thread explaining this would Great and Appreciated!

Before you start adding anything, go through the instructions and make sure the exhaust is installed right. You should not need the washers. Like I said before, I installed 2 last week and an average of 4-6 per month. VERY RARELY do I ever need washers!

Thanks, Tony

Hey tony just giving you a finishing update, I followed the instructions and everything was up to par so my educated guess was correct and I added 2 washers on each bolt on both sides and now everything is leveled, thank you so man. On a side note thanks to the douchebag that installed my exhaust it burned a little of my bumper and some plastic stuck on the left side tip I took it off and cleaned as much as I could and I went and complained like seriously you have an INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL, I didn't do it myself cuz I didn't have the tools or lifters but you can bet I bought some like a few minutes ago lol.

Could you email me a pdf of the installation process? I rather just do it myself. I sent you an email with the subject "PDF Request" so you can know its my email, Thanks a lot for helping me clear this I think this is a reason my car rattles a Little bit between 2500-3000rpm, it doesn't bother me but I knew something wasn't right. Thanks in advance tony

It is rattling because it is sitting on the EVAP canister cover and not installed on the car correctly. If the instructions were not read, there is a good possibility other parts of the exhaust are installed wrong as well.

Email is now sent, you should have the instructions.

Thanks, Tony

Go 12"^^ well I mean if volume isn't an issue? If not then go with 18" even thoigh your Z will still growl but I assume its way less less volume than 12" and of course Non-Resd... GL on deciding buddy either or they're beast xD

Ok. I'm #850 and have a CF with 12in resonators and high flow cats on order. I've been making payments so I'm not stuck with such a large bill right before the holidays. I started listening to those wonderful exhaust notes on line again and am now considering non resonated instead of the 12in. If I change my mind and go with non resonated I will owe Tony $370 instead of $500. That's a great number. Could this be a sign. Ummmmm.

My friend, I'm #865.... It happened the same as you!!!! I started to listen again to online videos of the exhaust, and after ordered only the CBE w 12" resonated, I gave Tony a call and asked him if I could change my order....

You save some money, but I'll spend some more money, because I add the resonated test pipes to the order of the CBE, and change my Resonated CBE to Non-Resonated because of the nice sound when the throttle is down!!!!!!!!!

Tony is a well customer oriented guy!!!!!!!!!!!

jlw,

I am 835 and have Non-Res HFS and 12" CF TDX coming. I can put some video/audio up on the forum if you like. If your like me you have already listened to 100's of clips so it might be a moot point.

Awesome. Please do because they all sound different when different audio equipment is used. Plus the background noise makes it difficult to hear sometimes.
I've searched hard for non resonated hfc with non resonated cf cbe and still haven't found it. maybe if I switch to non resonated cbe I will be the first lol

I'll try and get some vids up as well if the 50's stick around this week(dang MN weather). I was in a HUGE debate between Resonated TP's or Resonated HFCs. I stuck with Resonated HFCs and a NONresonated Xpipe and damn....I wouldn't ever think twice about going any other route.

I ran RHFCs with 18" resonators in the xpipe on my G37s, but on the Z going with the NONresonated X, the tone/note is even more refined. Rather then a constant tone, it has the refined rumble which IMO is just straight sex to your ears, and makes it like no other exhaust on the market.

Tony, I have a complaint man.

My gas mileage has gone down

I can't keep my foot off the gas, it sounds too nice now that it's broken in. Windows down to listen has been getting chilly lately too. If the weather would get sunny one day this month I'll shoot some videos lol
