I had my CF canisters a little over two years no fading.

Not to worry. We've sold hundreds carbon fiber mufflers over the years with no reports of fading.

I personally had carbon fiber mufflers on my car for almost 3 years. They looked as good as the first day that Tony installed them.

First I have heard of this being an issue. Pretty sure there has not been any cases of CF cans deteriorating in any way.

FPenvy · 02-18-2016, 12:23 AM

I have 40-50k miles on my cf cans and not one bit of fading or issues. One baby rock chip on the leading edge of the one can but that's it after all this time.

Pulled the trigger just now, Number 1387.!

61 degrees yesterday so I got to drive my Z with the windows down. Finally I get to hear what everyone on the outside of the car hears. OMG, I REALLY LOVE THE SOUND!!!

It is well worth the wait time, money and install effort!

Had a close call this morning, a radar trap was set up down the street from where I live. The Passport saved me! The guy in front of me got caught. One of the cops pulled out and followed me for several miles. I think he was just enjoying the sound.........

I noticed on their website that they have an option for nismo now. i don't recall them having that when i ordered mine a couple of years ago. does this mean that the tips extend out more? it fit perfect on my Z but i got a 2015 nismo and swapped it to that but the tips don't come out all the way.

I'm #1320. Had mine installed couple weeks ago. I tried but couldn't break some nuts loose. Nothing I say hasn't been said before but figured I'd give them F.I. some well deserved appreciation. I also ordered the oil cooler and installed it too. These guys were amazing through the whole thing! I would buy every part I could from these guys!

First is the wait. No lie, no sugar coat, it freaking SUCKS! Especially towards the end. I just ordered it and forgot about it. I would do it all over again.

I have Non Resonated Carbon Fiber. I am so freaking glad I went with this. I paid good money and waited an eternity so I could hear my exhaust and I would have been extremely disappointed if it was any quieter! For me personally I can't imagine going with resonators. Only if you were going to change the Cats then maybe and MAYBE if it's a daily. Everyone's different. I will admit it does have a tiny bit of drone ONLY at certain RPM's in certain gears. 60 MPH in 6th = drone. 80 MPH in 6th = 0 drone. Basically my experience is lower speed, higher gear, lower RPM = a little tiny bit of very tolerable drone IMO. The sound is addicting! I am in love with my car now. I think I burn twice as much gas now just because I'm living in high RPM's. When I first called Kevin asking about the drone I told him that I was the guy who turns the radio off so I can hear the exhaust and he was like "you definitely need to go with Non Resonated." Point is, just like everyone else has said, if you like to hear your exhaust go with Non Res. If you're worried at all about the drone, go with 18" and call it a day. My wife hasn't complained 1 time about drone and she really does have a vagina! Just sayin!

Give these guys your business, you won't be disappointed!

I'm sure you will love it no matter what you ordered. And what little difference there is you'll probably never know because your sound will drown someone else's out anyway. Good thing is you can always increase volume by getting their HFC's or Test Pipes and you'll gain another 10HP. I didn't care about the cats because I hope to slap their turbo kit on someday anyway. Also if you're not happy you can usually find someone who would be willing to trade your 18" resonators for their Non Res setup. Non Res is obviously not for everyone or everyone would have it.

GordoNx3o9 · 03-02-2016, 04:59 PM

Too late. Mine's probably ready to ship by next week or so.

On a brighter note I can always enjoy the sound with my top down!
