The intake was already on the car so the 7whp came from the upgraded exhaust, hfcs and tune.

Don't forget the law of diminishing returns for bolt-on mods

Some vids of my setup. I don't have the cf but I doubt that makes a difference in the sound lol

launch


rev


drive by

^^ that is mayhem.

sounds like a monster lol

I got non res cbe cf and non res tp too. I need someone to take a drive by vid. I have a couple decent vids on YouTube. Just search my YouTube account name fpenvy and there is 2 or 3 and a drag strip run video

Holy hell batman, it's the Bat-Mobile!

any way to stop the hissing noise? it bothers me

Actually the cf does sound a bit different. Hard to describe, but definitely a slightly different tone. Exotic has been used to describe it before and it as accurate as any term. I love it.

It hisses even with stock exhaust It's just not that audible. The less restriction the more pronounced the hiss. I can hear it hiss with stock cats and my fi cbe. Its not loud but it's there. Hfc or tp you will hear hiss from far away. No way around it.

my full non-res setup you can really hear the hiss but i dont mind it. sadly i get alot of people thinking it's boosted and thats the BOVs making the sound :shakes head:

Why the :shakes head: ?? This is awesome.

I love it because anytime some eclipse or civic comes up next to me acting like a jackass, I just let it hiss for a bit, and they quickly slow down :stirthepot:


F.I. ftw :tup:

the :shakes head: was for it not being boosted but sounding like it lol

Thats like wearing a TAPOUT shirt and getting straight A's in school...


Think about it... :icon08:

??

I don't hear a hiss at all with non-resonated HFCs 18" resonators on the cans. I will say that cabin noise is now "beyond comfortable" and I'm ordering some more GTmat stuff to coat the interior to compensate. Girlfriend wore earplugs to/from a Christmas party on Sat night to passive-aggressively voice her displeasure.

My situation may be exacerbated since I ditched my spare and there's a big hollow space in the rear of the vehicle.

That's odd... :icon14:

Some people just don't like to hear/feel the power of their vehicles I guess... :ugh2:

I've seen this comment several times now and I honestly do not agree that there's any difference in sound at all. I have heard both setups up-close with HFCs installed and cannot tell between the two. The CF cans look great, don't get me wrong - I just don't hear a distinctive difference between the exhausts.

Doesn't bother me at all except in low-range 4th gear at below optimal speeds. I love the noise it makes

oh i got it right away lol i cant stand those or affliction shirts.....or the people who wear them.


back to the exhaust lol i can see why the hiss would get old to some people but honestly i personally like it. and with the volume and pure rawness of my non-res setup it still makes me smile when i start it up ....1 year and 13500 miles later :tup:

....and 1 re-weld of the hanger by the one muffler :ugh2:

Yeah the startup/downshifting noise is really worth the price of admission.

go look up my one start up and rev vid on youtube. i'd link it but i'm at work and youtube is blocked for me to fine the URL. my youtube username is fpenvy just like on here. you will hear the hiss for sure :tiphat: you can link there if you want to for others to see.

Is it audible inside the cabin? Maybe that's why I don't hear it.

with the radio off then yea i can hear mine hiss. windows up or down.

It is most pronounced on Drive By's... It's not a major difference, but if you really listen for it, you can tell.

No sir, I was referring to the GF. :tup:

I have the LTH's and 18" CBE, and I hear it windows up, windows down, radio on or not, I love it. :tup:

Granted when I'm just cruising around, the exhaust lets you know it's there, but it's not obtrusive. And when I get on it, it snaps heads. :stirthepot:

GGGRRRROOOWWWLLLLLLL. Installed last night and it feels like I'm the king of the jungle.

go listen to my vid of just stationary rev and see what a real exhaust sounds like.....oh wait i forgot you were behind me at MAZOC bbq and you said "it sounds so mean!!" :bowrofl:

It does. I dunno how else to describe it. When you took off (granted I was 4 cars behind you :mad: ) But I could still hear you Over the others. Which honestly your setup was the one I Wanted to hear, so maybe my selective hearing tuned out the others :icon17:

But yeah dude, I'd love to hear yours on the strip. :tup:

theres a video of that too lol :tiphat: windows up but its kinda mean still. just go find it and link it in here you know u want to :yum:

Meh, I'd rather hear it in person again. Vids don't do F.I.'s justice. Plus my internet is running stupid slow for some reason, so I'm not looking up any videos to buffer.

stop gettin viruses from ghey porn and it wouldn't be slow :bowrofl:

but yes i agree videos dont do justice but my drag strip video is pretty good sound wise.

Then tell shado to stop spamming my inbox with nudes! :bowrofl::mad: :inoutroflpuke:

thats between you and him...

i know better than to get in the middle of a lovers quarrel unless invited :yum:

i heard it envy sounds mean!!! are you tuned? how much power you get from the test pipes if you are?

i never have had it on a dyno but i want to once spring comes around. i know it's not useful now since i never did a baseline but i'm not taking all my stuff off just to know what i gained. i'm only worried about what i have lol

as for a tune i am not tuned. i do have an adjusted MAF table map that was given to me with my set of Akuma prototype intakes. it is needed for the set-up to run properly so i dont know if you can classify that as a "tune" per say.

I am number 654 cannot wait

So far my order is

Cbe with 18" res
Non res hfc
And some gen 3 intakes

My question is for all those that have heard them in real life what is your preferred combo with a hfc the 12 or 18 res or no res at at all ??????

so can't decide and YouTube doesn't help!

My car is daily driven for work so I need it to be a little tame when I want it to be, deff don't mind if its of its head when opened up though noise is not a concern then lol

is tony on these forums anymore? have been trying to contact him with no luck

Your best bet is to call Fast Intentions and ask for Tony. He's too busy making sure that each product come out on time :tiphat:

PS

I ordered mine awhile back. I ordered it with the 18" resonators CF mufflers and added their 300 cell HFC. I'm right around 620ish and my installation time is January 5, 2013. Hang in there folks!

i'm running full non res setup (CBE & TP) with CF cans and it's a monster when you get on the gas. but i DD mine to work as well and honestly when just cruising in between lights and in traffic it's still pretty tame. i mean there are times for fun i'll give it some loud pedal between lights and scare everyone around me. but thats just to pass the time in traffic :tiphat:

Im #621. I called Tony last week and he said it'll probably be shipped out by the end of this week. :D

This has been answered quite a few times and I think it's mentioned on the F.I website.. The resonators are primarily there to reduce "drone" inside the cabin. Not for noise reduction outside the car.

I would have mine shipped this week but I rather have them deal with the demon bolt :tup:

Congrats to you! Post some pics/vids after installation.
