The guys at R/T Tuning are a cool, professional group as well.

+1 for RT Tuning. Great group of people working there. Congrats!

I had order #178 on my 09 Z, loved it! SoulSpeed also did a great job on that install. The new Z has an 18" CF Fast Intentions and it sounds the way the Z should have sounded from the factory.

First rate quality and sound...

Guys at SoulSpeed are meticulous and do great work!

Congrats! Those CF mufflers look killer!

Austex, great looking exhaust and a great pic of the under carriage.

Quick question. Where the exhaust if welded together at the mid-pipe. Do you drill/cut a hole between both bank like an H-pipe?

If I'm understanding your question correctly: Yes, the area where the two tubes are welded together is completely opened up to allow passage from one exhaust bank to the other. We utilize this X Pipe technology over a traditional H Pipe designs because it is much more efficient at balancing exhaust pulses between the left and right bank throughout the entire RPM range. This more efficient range of scavenging leads to more power and torque.

No cutting or welding is done by the customer. All of our TDX Cat Back Exhausts are ready to bolt on straight out of the box with simple hand tools. I hope this answers your question.

#1038 Installed

Outstanding fitment, no shimming was necessary.

Installation was extremely easy took about 1.5 hours, only bump I ran into was removing the evap canister cover. After a couple beers and 5 minutes of looking at it- I realized that my 2014 sport didn't have one lol.

My Z FINALLY sounds like its supposed to!

Thanks to everyone at F.I I will be a returning customer for sure.

My 2012 base+sport didn't have the heat shield for the evap canister either. I wonder which years came with them.

There is an oval cut out in the X pipes, approximately 3"x1.5".

Where do you live at? I am in San Diego and have a non resonated Carbon Fiber catback exhaust with high flow cats (im registered in texas) if you are local, I can let you listen to it.

cooltoy · 10-27-2014, 07:44 PM

Well since FI is based in California, I would figure that they would make an exhaust that would be legal in their state, but I could be wrong.

Sounds like you would want 18" res.
