Would like to purchase an 18" cbe with hfc. How much would it be shipped to 02118?

I do have a crystal clear understanding of the differences in theory. Ideally the bet way to find out is hearing them in person.

Fast Intentions or anyone else in SoCal, might be a long shot, but do you have 3 Z's you can hear in person? (option 1)


(option 2) There is a SoCal Z rally up Angels Crest May 31st. Anyone gonna be there with FI CBE?





Thanks,
Ben




i was in your shoes about a year ago. looking at all the videos and reviews i could. tony helped me make up my mind. he asked how do you think your car is now as far as sound? i felt is was way to quiet so he suggested non res. i was leaning that way anyways. i've never regretted that decision. ill admit after it was installed and i fired up my car the first time it was a bit overwhelming. just cause i had a real exhaust. i love it. i also went with the carbon fiber and happy i did. i just traded my car for a 2015 nismo. i couldnt believe how quiet is was even with the nismo exhaust on it. i had to wait a week before i got my F.I swapped over. that entire week it sounded like i was driving a prius!:roflpuke2:

Ya, FI has done a wonderful job explaining it to me and I believe I will be going down the 18" res path, however I do not want to have it and after a couple months be like...maybe it should be louder. At the same time i don't want it to loud. everyone seems sooo happy with every single version LOL!

Fast Intentions

I have noticed all of the FI videos have cut the sound. There is no way to un-mute the video.

I have spoken to Kevin who is AWESOME! he helped explain it all to me. I am just OCD and super anal about my Z's and want to be sure the dB and note is exactly what I like.

I heave non-res and straight pipe vids from an iphone. but now that you have interest in the 18" I doubt my vids would help you lol

I have interest in all of them. It just sounds like I might want the 18 based the description of the sound. I would use videos but they are now blending together lol

honestly the general sound is the same for certain options just with slight variances in overall volume and cabin noise.

the SS or CF mufflers will alter the overall sound/tone
also any change of oem cats to HFC, TP, RTP, RHFC will also change the sound/tone and the less restrictive versions will also increase volume.

the resonator sizes don't change the volume all that much but more or less will smooth out the tone and reduce cabin noise.

also i'm sure tony and the guys you've spoken to have said all this lol just figured i'd throw it out there for others as well.

if you want the FI sound and lower volume I would suggest SS cans for a deeper tone and CF cans for a more exotic tone. personally I prefer the CF.

if you're not a fan of hearing the drone of the exhaust then 18" will work for you maybe even 12".

you want to get the amazing power gains maximized then throw them stock cats away and get HFC. little extra volume and little extra power.

in the end it's best to just do your research and ask many questions. :tiphat:

you honestly cannot go wrong with FI.

Unfortunately for us Californian's cats are required to pass smog tests.

Therefore our purr is somewhat restricted. :mad:

18 is plenty loud and just under the legal dB level. I am not disappointed with mine. Even 18 turns heads.

:iagree:

any variation of this system sounds absolutely amazing. 100% fact.

little tweaks to your choice in set-up is all just personal preference.

Perfect!

Thank you and thanks everyone. I think 18" is the best way to go (for me at least)

Like they said, you can't really go wrong with an FI system. And if you change your mind on the resonators you want, you can change your order (up to a certain point) with them.

When you call to place your order, find out what exhaust system # they are building at the moment. Many of us are anxious to know :tiphat:

How are you liking the exhaust so far?

I've read that after some time the sound quiets down about 5-10% (to the liking of most). Have you noticed that?

I love it so far! I purchased RHFC also but decided to install the exhaust with OEM cats first to see how I like it. The sound is very deep and satisfying. I'll put my cats on later when I get my orders (military).
