I think the best advice Tony gave me when trying to choose between CF and SS is not to focus on the sound so much as both are very close and differs between each individual as to what tones they hear. Instead choose on the look you want. The beautiful sound and craftsmanship is a byproduct. Either way it is a win/win.

Totally agree!

For my part I went CF because I didn't want the cops following me to easily focus on shinny SS exhaust ;)

i believe the cats to x-pipe gaskets are reused along with the nuts

My apologies for not answering this sooner. Here is the breakdown below:

FI TP/RTP/HFC/RHFC: 2- 3 Bolt HR Manifold Gaskets / 2- 2 Bolt Gaskets.

FI TDX CBE: 2- 2 Bolt Gaskets / 2- 3 Bolt Gaskets

In the event that you retain stock cats in conjunction with our TDX CBE, reuse the stock 2 bolt gaskets on the bottom of the catalytic converters.

Thanks, Tony

Well said!

1) The Carbon Fiber is lighter than the Stainless Steel.
2) The Carbon Fiber will emit off a slightly higher pitched exhaust note. (Very minimal and most will not pick up the difference.)
3) The aesthetics of the Carbon Fiber will blend in more and look black at night. The Stainless Steel will attract more attention due to its polished mirror finish.

I always tell customers when choosing one over the other to make it about the aesthetics and take the other two reasons out of the equation. If you love the look of the CF mufflers, it is a great investment. If you are on the fence, save the money and go with the SS mufflers.

Thanks, Tony

so i can't use my rear diff. jack point with my FI exhaust. i'm using a costco jack. i know other's have said you don't lose this jack point, but in my case I did.

Thanks, Tony

I am good to go as I am not using stock cats and going with your HFC's. All new bolts and gaskets....yippee

Oh....and I am investing in the CF Canisters. Such a great investment. I am in line within the next 2 weeks for mine to be completed and ready for shipping. .... # 872

#844, 12" SS CBE!!! The wait is getting worse but its almost over!:happydance:

Do you mean 2 months ? I'm 850 and I'm looking at November 15. Give or take a week.

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like he had a typo ZForce is #827.

Anyone in the current production range 818 - 822ish hear anything recently? I'm #821 and haven't heard anything recently about the status.

Shooting to have it in the mail this afternoon!

Thanks, Tony

^^ ^ thanks guys !

True a typo. My first recollection was #827.....naw...that's too close to the number inproduction. Wow...what a surprise, I just bumped myself 50 spots forward.

Time to clear the garage !

Today's install day! Yippee!!!!!

Can You elaborate a little more on this one. I think I missed this one.......
