The tension builds.......:eekdance:

On a side note, are fast intentions licence plate frame(s) shipped with every order?

Yes they are except for the time when we run out and more are on order.

Thanks, Tony

Fast Intentions, Inc. is ZDayZ 2013 bound!
 

Update,

Over the past six weeks or so we have been very quiet here on the forum. It is much pleasure that I can finally share with you why...

Below you will see a handful of pictures showing the new look of our prototype Twin Turbo 370z. In some of the pictures you will see the car being loaded in to an enclosed trailer. Next stop Forged Performance in Atlanta, Georgia. From there she will be babysat for a few days. Myself, Dan, Blake (Car owner) and Mike from our crew are flying to Forged Performance late next Tuesday night. (A small crew will stay back and man the fort for phone calls and such.) From there the Forged crew and Fast intentions crew will embark on the journey to none other than ZDayZ 2013!

We will showcase the car at the Forged sponsored "Top Dawg Challenge". For those of you who do not know, this event is located at the Hendersonville regional airport in Hendersonville, NC. It is a rolling drag race grudge match right on the airstrip. After that we are off to the official ZDayZ resort where our car will be located in the Forged Performance booth.

4 of us from Fast Intentions, Inc. will be on hand to answer any and all questions regarding our products. There will be literature on the Twin Turbo kit for all to take and T Shirts for sale. In addition we will be giving (selective) demo rides in the Twin Turbo 370z to serious potential buyers. Most importantly we will be there to meet and greet our previous and future customers.

Words cannot describe how much work it has been to get the Z ready for this event. It is all worth it though to be able to support the community face to face at one of the baddest Z events on the planet! We are very excited to meet our customers in person and could not of even considered this event without all of your loyalty and support over the past decade.

To close, all of us at Fast Intentions, Inc. want to thank Sharif and the entire staff at Forged Performance for hosting us next week. They are great people to know. We are proud to be partnering with them and look forward to a promising future working together.

I hope that this post comes with enough notice for some of you that have been on the fence about making the trek to ZDayZ will now decide to come.

Thank you all for your time.

Tony

I'm upset that I can't go to ZdayZ. I switched jobs and have zero vacation days right now :(

Car looks amazing. Love the wrap job.

Quit :stirthepot: get a new job when you get back. :roflpuke2: J/K ;)

Please keep the Forged GT-R story out of this thread. This thread is not about either of those issues and let's try to keep it clean for those looking to find out when their exhaust will be en route.

Thanks! :tiphat:

Exhaust ordered!!
 

Can't freaking wait! My only complaint after two weeks of ownership is the exhaust is just too "friendly"....:tup:

Looking forward to slapping on the TDX!!

Mounted mine up this afternoon..
 

Holy cow!!
Received my box totally undamaged earlier last week. Just now able to spend the time to mount the system up. Could not have been any easier. An absolute perfect fit with no shimming what so ever. Started up and let cool down 3 times just to be sure. Have no doubt this system is absolutely beautiful to look at and listen to.... Tony and his crew continue to build an absolutely wonderful product. Wish I could go by their office, give all their hands a big hug and buy donuts for the entire shop!
For now, I'll just have to say thank you very much and pass the word out for what they do....

You might have the only FI exhaust in Alaska!

I don't know Frost has been living up there for a while now.

He has not modded his Z. This is why he still has it. :icon17:

Attachment 68819

I have one extra. And I am in Mass too if you are interested.

Was wondering that too.
 

Had wondered if anyone else had one of these systems up here. Pretty damn expensive to get this box shipped, but no fault to FI. By the way, what's up with the license plate frames? Would at least like to see what one looks like.
Also, was really glad I backed out on the high flow cats. Was only able to "safely" get my car off the ground about 1 foot. With this little of working area, I wouldn't have stood a chance for installing the cats...
On a side note, the 12" resonators sound perfect to my ears. Nice rumble without being too harsh. Screw my neighbors, they all have barking dogs and screaming kids i'm supposed to put up with!!
Finally reached 60 degrees the other day. Maybe we will have summer after all.

Speaking of the shipping, Tony mentioned to me he had shipped to Puerto Rico, who has the F.I. exhaust down here in P.R.? I've seen a couple of Z's over here but no exhaust. Can't wait for #730. :driving:

Any chance we can get an update to the "big list"? I know I was told 12-14 weeks when I ordered. 3+ months is a long time for an exhaust and I had hoped FI would ramp up production since the demand was so high and meet that target easy. However, from what I can tell from the ones that have shipped out, FI has spent time on the turbo project and is actually behind a pace that would meet 12-14 weeks on the exhaust systems. I have a lapping day in early August and I thought I would easily have the exhaust by then, but I am beginning to think that's unliklely.

I wouldn't expect an update until at least next week since the fi crew is at zdayz which runs until the 16th I believe.

If they said 12-14 then i'm sure it will ship in that time frame, no one has forgotten about you. Will it get to you early, I wouldn't think so if they could be done in less time they would have given you a shorter wait time.

Well seeing your #763 and I'm #730 and still haven't received mine, you have a couple more weeks to go. I know for sure #717 shipped.

It will be a lot longer than a couple weeks for me and I was prepared for that. From what I can see from the thread 695 shipped on 4/5 and 717 shipped on 5/9 or basically 5 weeks later. So averaging somewhere between 4-5 units per week. It is what it is, I knew it would be a long wait when I made the order....no one held a gun to my head when I ordered and I was fully prepared to wait until early July. However, if it becomes pretty clear that it will be into August before mine is ready I'd probably rather go ahead an eat the deposit now and go a different direction vs. waiting until the last minute when I may struggle to secure an alternative timely.

The average has always been 4-5 per week. In stead of losing your deposit I've seen people sell/transfer their spot to someone else. They contacted tony and he worked it out from what I remember.

My buddy was in his car about 100 feet behind me and said the exhaust sounds really awesome. I never get to hear it cuz i'm inside (even though with windows open most of the time so I can hear it in a different way). FI do really good work, keep it up guys :)

I may have to try that. I also wonder if I could talk someone ahead of me into swapping spots with me + cash.

Just speaking for myself here but it would take a pretty substantial amount of money for me to give up my spot. :stirthepot:

I just wanted to chime in here and thank everyone for being so patient. We are running on schedule and your estimated shipping window you were given on your invoice is still valid, production has not slowed down at all! We were very careful when working on the prototype Z and the Twin Turbo kit that production did not suffer from it, as our customers come first! If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to shoot me a PM. Hope to see some of you at ZDayZ!


Thank you, Blake :tiphat:

I understand how you feel and where you are coming from. Just to shed a little light here. Right now we are running at the beginning of everyone's shipping window. That window is a 2 week window. About 6 weeks ago we were running towards the end of the window. So in 6 weeks we have effectively picked up 2 weeks in production. Now our goal is to get all of your systems out as early as possible. It does not benefit us to hold on to your order any longer than we have to. Now if you see that only 4-5 370 systems ship per week it is because there are G37,G35 & 350 systems in there as well. Between every Z/G platform we build on a first come first serve basis. On an average, we build and ship 7-9 systems per week. Less than 6 months ago a good week was building 6 systems. We have found a way to effectively build 2-3 more systems per week and not have the quality suffer. What we have seen happen is as production has ramped up, so have the new orders. I also believe that the birth of the turbo kit is helping drive exhaust sales.

Now when I am putting lead times on invoices I am purposely over estimating. I also have started writing on the invoice that the est. shipping window is a "worst case scenario".

On a final note:
As Blake stated above, the turbo kit has not affected production at all! That was a #1 concern with us when we started that project. The way the kit is designed that once in production is will be very self sufficient opposed to how much labor goes in to building each exhaust system. As always, we appreciate every customers support and business.

If anyone has any questions at all, please do not hesitate to call us if you have any questions.

Thank you, Tony

So has anyone's exhaust shipped recently? And what#?:ughdance:

if i have the JDM version nismo frame brace kit installed...... will an aftermarket exhaust fit? can ask the same for the front brace as well with the FI TT kit. seeing as the intercooler, oil cooler and all that crap will be crammed up front. no sense in putting it on if i have to remove 2 of the 3 pieces of the kit just for my exhaust and TT.

I tried to get a sound clip for everyone today with my go pro, but there seemed to be a cop every 5 feet. So here is what i was able to get. the go pro is mounted right to the left of the license plate with the dry weather back plate on, to get all the sound possible. If anything it shows how nice it sounds when on the gas, and how quiet it can be when not on the throttle

This is 12" res HFC and 12" res SS CBE

Ugh I'm getting SO antsy to get my exhaust! 6/27 - 7/11 is my shipping window:eekdance:

are you on the 760 bracket? :)

im 747:ugh2:

Nice! I am 761 and was told of shipping on that time frame!:)

Man, I can't wait for mine. That sounds great!

5/27-6/10 that's my shipping window, #730. I'm freaking outtttt...:excited:

Hopefully a build list update will pop up at some point..hint hint:happydance::happydance::happydance:

#717 installed. Unfortunately there is a defective resonator, whether it's coming from the test pipes or the 18 incher's I'll be finding out on Wednesday and getting in contact with Tony. Even though it is a major bummer, the sound is still out of this world, besides the extremely annoying bad resonator rattling. I haven't seen too many issues from bad parts coming from fast intentions so I would assume I am a very isolated incident, which is just my luck :shakes head:. Regardless, the quality is absolutely top notch and I would still probably go with them if I had to do it again. Knowing Tony is a reputable guy I'm sure this isolated issue should get resolved.
