This is the best mod I've done to my car and I love my Hks coilovers and stillen gen 3 intake but this is so much better. Power is a little shocking. The car wants to break loose anytime I floor it in 1st or 2nd gear. In having to respect my z a bit more in the turns. Also best customer service I've ever experienced. Thank you Fast Intentions.

any dos/donts on install? saw a utube guy and he removed the 2 rear hanger supports from frame to ease removal?

Just that, unbolt the hangers with the exhaust and then move the hangers.

So a friend of mine Dynoed his stock 370 yesterday and got between 273-278 between his three pills. I ran mine with just the stillen gen 3 intake and the fast intentions catback exhaust. I Dynoed between 300-306.6 Hp. So around a 28 whp gain from stock. The majority of the power came from the exhaust. Just thought I'd post and let everyone know. Ill post the graph in a bit.

Nice gains for 2 relatively simple bolt-ons!

I called FI last Friday and they told me my exhaust was to be made this week so there is a good chance that Santa will deliver it just in time. I hope it will fit under the tree, no seriously, I'm going to put it under the tree. What could be better than to wake up Christmas morning and find a FI CBE? What?

its been awhile since iv been on this thread, well yesterday i heard a rear clanking noise and it turns out one of my exhaust hangers broke off, looks like the weld wasnt strong enough so i have to get it rewelded. Im not to sure if fast intentions has resolved this issue but i remember happening to someone else back in 2012.

Hey man, sorry for the break! Though we have encountered this in the past, it has been exceptionally rare considering the number of systems we have sold and installed.

For the future, if one of our welds break, give us a call prior to getting it repaired.

thanks.

as tony said its very rare. I actually had one of mine break off as well but I do live in PA with some pretty bumpy roads I take often so I basically did stress testing on them lol

So I have FI resonated test pipes and catback (w/ 18" resonators). I've been thinking of getting a Stillen Gen 3 intake (or maybe the new Z1 intake).

How vital is a tune with all three mods?

I live in Iowa, and there are pretty much no 370Z-experienced tuners nearby. I've considered doing the ECUTek eTune option (and may consider doing it at some point), but I'd much rather have a tune done in person.

Mysilverz · 12-14-2015, 09:40 PM

I currently have the stillen gen3 intake and the fast intentions CBE on my car. In two weeks im installing my non resonated test pipes and dynoing the car to see both the power gain as well as the a/f ratio. Ill make sure to post them to give you an idea about how nessacery a tune will be.
