Completely worth the Wait.

Videos/Review to come soon (After Break in is complete ~End of Week)

At home: (Car is sitting @ Stock Height)

Um got a question? Washers added and bend the heat shield, is that common?

Yep! Actually, both are included in the installation instructions! Here's some screenshots from it:

Washers:

I went ahead and attached a PDF of the install instructions as well.

It's common on 2009-Early 2012 Models. Mine being early 2012, I had to bend the heat shield back so that the Mufflers are not touching/scraping it. Washers were added to level out the exhaust. Not necessary that everyone will have to, but it's common.

Mind if I ask where you had your exhaust installed?

I lucked into a used FI Non-Res CBE set from a guy that decided to part out his car and sell it. Other than a few minor dings and scratches, it was in great shape! Called up the guys at FI and got all new gaskets and hardware sent and I installed it 2 days ago. Wow what a fantastic sounding exhaust! You can watch a 100 videos on YouTube, but hearing it in person is the only way to do it justice. I would also echo what other have said about the customer service at FI. They are very helpful and friendly, I will definitely be using them for future mod purchases.

I am just a few short weeks away from the completion of my FI CF CBE (18" Resonated) and RHFCs and am having JWT Pop Chargers and the Z1 Plenum installed at the same time. An Uprev tune will be performed at the same time.

I think a few people have a similiar setup, but I am wondering how the Pop Chargers will affect the sound?

On a side note: I know that the JWT Pop Chargers aren't the best intake in regard to power gain, but I think there would be at least some benefit with this setup. Is this wishful thinking? I also have the Seibon GTR style hood, which to my surprise the small vents are functional in the sense that my oil temps have stayed lower even especially when moving on hot days so far. I would think that this would benefit the Pop Chargers and thus the exhaust.

Any opinions one way or the other?

I had the same exact experience!

They even emailed me a PDF of the install instructions. It's an awesome exhaust backed by even better customer service.

I was a little nervous myself about doing the install, but once you get under there and get going, it's really pretty simple. WD40 is the key, there is also a pretty good video on YouTube that you can use for a reference along with the instructions. You have probably looked at it already, but here is the link if you haven't. Good luck
