The last bend can make it tricky to get one of the bigger jacks onto the diff jack point without hitting the pipes. I use a wooden block to get in there, works fine. Just make sure it can sit squarely on the jack pad.

Install Day-
4AM wake up + 3HR drive to visit Tony and the Fast Intentions Team. I had anxiety the entire drive down there. Tony and the team really know what they are doing - their attention to detail is outstanding - really top notch quality hands down. You can tell that Tony truly cares about his customers and is passionate about his craft. Best investment ever! I could not be any more happy right now. The drive back home with the new exhaust was simply .... AWESOME!!!

Thank you Tony and the Fast Intentions Team !!

I wasn't sure but I have a stupid question, is it supposed to look like this? And both tips are touching the bumper.

Impossible to tell from this angle. If this is your car opposed to a picture you saw online, take a picture from a better angle so we can make a determination...The tips should not touch the bumper. I installed two systems last week and had about 3/16"-1/4" air gap between the top of the tip and bottom of the bumper.

Thanks, Tony

P.S. I received your email and will get back to you shortly.

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

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

I've got the loudest setup now with non res carbon fiber and i love it.

thanks for the reply. I'm going to have a difficult time deciding on 12" or 18" in a few weeks. I'm assuming it is not a TON of difference only slightly louder. Hmm...

megalapagas · 10-22-2013, 01:29 AM

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

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!

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

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

If you have any questions at all, please call me directly. I will go over all of the options with you and help get you in the direction you want to go in terms of resonator size.

Thanks, Tony
