I'm 1054. Hoping to get it before the snow comes and the Z goes in the garage for winter!

It sure does.

It's a very quite sound, almost sounds like you are running over a seam in the asphalt or cement.

It's normal, the stock exhaust even does it but it wouldn't be audible from in the car. Bigger exhaust with less restrictions gets you more gurgling between shifts and on deceleration.

Hello Everyone! I wanted to take some time to introduce myself. My name is Kevin, and I am the newest member of Fast Intentions, Inc.

Even though I am the newest guy on Team Fast Intentions, that does not make me the new when it comes to the Nissan 370z community & the VQ37VHR motor. I started out as a customer of Fast Intentions myself many years ago. I bought my TDX exhaust system from them for my 2008 Infiniti G37S coupe, and never imagined back then that I would one day become a part of the team.

Recently, Tony/Danny & I reconnected at a local car show in Woodland Hills, CA. We got to talking about their future business direction; they both have a lot of ideas, and needed some help setting things into action. After about 2 months of discussion, Tony/Danny & I came up with a plan. Fast Intentions, Inc. has brought me in to assist, and eventually lead a major role in all Sales/Marketing & day-to-day Business Operations.

I'm a true automobile enthusiast, no matter what make or model, but I have always had a soft spot for Nissan/Infiniti, as it was my first project car. I would consider myself well versed when it comes to the Nissan 370z & the VQ37VHR motor.

I am very excited to be here and look forward to being able to provide as much support for you guys/gals as possible. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me directly and I will do my best to personally answer.

Thank you,

- Kevin

Welcome Kevin, let's hope you will continue the legacy of the type of customer service we are used to with FI.

And feel free to start by commenting on my question above.

I want to chime in on this one. Are you referring to "The Hiss?" Please elaborate, or better, just give us a call.

Thanks.

I placed an order about a week or so ago!!! FI Cat back exhaust, along with Berk High Flow cat's ( I like how they have mounting brackets welded on), Stillen gen 3 intake.... Pretty excited.....
Wondering if the Z1 intake plenum upgrade is worth using to complete the project???

kentomo280z,

Thank you for your order. No hard feelings on the HFC order, totally understand your logic. As for the Z1 intake plenum, we do not have any experience with it, though, I have heard good things. It is best to track down other independent consumers that have it and get their feedback.

Thanks.

-Tony

So the FI HFC's don't have mounting brackets to go with the stock supports, correct? What are the disadvantages of NOT using the stock cat supports?

Also while on the subject, I'm assuming the FI resonated HFC's would cut down on any drone noise compared to non-resonated HFC's. I already have the 18" resonated CBE, but wouldn't mind it being louder at WOT. Cruising volume is ok to me and I would like to keep it where it is, or maybe just a TAD louder.

EDIT: Off topic note. Love the sound of the exhaust when I'm driving in the parking garage at work. Also love the fact that some car alarms will chirp when I drive by

I think R3V answered it. I just did not expect this car to backfire, (or what ever it is). I hear it a lot on loud V8s.

The noise you're talking about..."pop pop", is more of a backfire. This is most common in the nonresonated setup, which IMO is just "pissed off" sounding! It doesn't happen every time, but on an occassion when you hold your rev in the higher RPMs and all of a sudden let off, you'll get a "POP!" Puts a smile on my face very time!

There isn't necessarilly an "advantage" to not having the mounting brackets, they just aren't required to have is all.

The RHFCs will cut down slightly, but not a ton. I personally have ran RHFCs on the G37 setup with 18" in the X, and currently run RHFCs with NONres X. Drone is more prone from the Xpipe then trying to stop is immediately out of the cat, but since you have 18" resonators in the X already, you would most likely notice an immediate difference w/ the RHFCs vs HFCs.

Thanks. That is what I figured. Can this sound be adjusted (made louder or quiter) by tuning he car differently?

That will sound amazing. Lance [1cleanZ] is our premier product & sales vendor on the forum. Feel free to let him or myself know if you need anything.

I don't believe there is any way to adjust the sound level while tuning the car. If you'd like to give me a call, I'd be more than happy to discuss your question.
