Would FI LTH's not be advisable for adding if i already have the FI 18" exhaust and a K&N SRI if i DONT plan on tuning?

Riptide67 08-24-2013 11:25 PM

Installed my gen 1 today. I fell in love with the exhaust note instantly!

Kudos on such an amazing product!

Perfect alignment and fitment. Not a single issue, easy to install by yourself...I did!

LTHs do NOT require a tune.
If that's what you want, go for it

Awesome! I absolutely love the sound of the LTHs. Now I just have to see if I have the coin to shell out for an oil cooler too! I have to replace my 2012+ oem "oil cooling system" to install the LTHs.

I'd really look to see where your AFR's are sitting because you may become dangerously lean. With AEM', my car sat at 13.2-13.4 at full throttle and thathat's with the ETI modules active. Then again, my O2 sensors were jacked up too.

IDK, I would not rule out no tuning if u add LTH's

RafPR 08-25-2013 11:03 PM

Some doubts!!!!! HELP!!!!!
 
I am considering to place my order this week.... TDX CBE 12" res + NR Test pipes (here's my first doubt; does it change the sound a lot being resonated or non resonated test pipes????)....

Second, did you ever shipped to Puerto Rico before??? What will be an approximate of the case dimensions for my TDX CBE & test pipes order? Everything fit in one case??? Approximate weight???

Thanks!!!!!

snowsurfdirtx 08-26-2013 05:02 AM

This guy is in PR and has the HFC and 12" res. You may want to ping him and see if you can hear what his sounds like. http://www.the370z.com/intake-exhaus...ml#post2364932

Thanks RegPei, my friend. I just got off the phone with Tony from FI. He helped me clear my doubts and made a decision about the combination. I am ready to place my order tomorrow!!!!!

No problem RafPR, we all help each other out in this forum. I am still about a month away from my delivery date (#808). I tell you, the wait is almost unbearable but I know it'd be worth it. :eekdance:

My lead time was around 13 weeks. You kind of forget about it in a couple of weeks.

I'm going with the CBE 12" resonators... I am thinking to order also the HFC (non resonator), but my main concern is the car warranty...
Any experience on changing stock CATS to aftermarket HFC???? You think i will have no issues in case I need to take the car for warranty?

I previously had my G37 Coupe(sold) serviced with Full FI catback paired with RHFCs by Infiniti and never had them question a thing.

With my Nismo, my local Nissan dealer doesn't as well. Its not the "terms of the warranty" that will void it, its the actual person you deal with at the Service Dept @ the dealer. I've never had any issues though, I would say well over half of the 350's they've seen are heavily modified so they're used to it.

99% of the time they're more appreciative of the sound/fitment/quality of the FI exhaust then anything :tup:

RafPR 08-27-2013 02:04 PM

Good point!!!!! Especially, and I quote: "99% of the time they're more appreciative of the sound/fitment/quality of the FI exhaust then anything"

That's the same set up I got with HFC. I didn't even think about the warranty, I've been doing my own oil changes and everything on my own. Unless there's a recall for a major issue I don't plan on taking my car to the dealership. :driving:

RafPR 08-28-2013 07:31 PM

It took me longer at work yesterday and today, so I will be placing my order to Tony tomorrow!!!!!!!

Meulen 08-28-2013 09:54 PM

I've decided this is my next mod but sheeeeeesh......this thread has confused the hell out of me! Lol. No idea what to get!

Cat Back?
Cat back w/12" resonators?
Cat back w/18" resonators?
HFC's with or with out resonators?
Headers?
All of it? 😳

No idea where to start here! 😁
I guess the objective would be whatever setup would make the most horsepower but not be seriously obnoxious unless I'm on the gas. It would also have to pass Illinois emissions. Any suggestions? Thx!

Don't forget stainless steel vs carbon fibre.:icon17:

You can watch this thread and get two dozen opinions or just call Tony. He will set you up with the best configuration for you.

jofro6 08-28-2013 10:40 PM

there are tons of videos up of all these setups... heres the link to 2 views of mine for easy searching for you....

resonated testpipes, non resonated cf cans. you can figure atleast itll be quieter with resonaters on the cans and hfc but its a start for you sound wise

I posted this in the Best Compliments thread but since this is also about Fast Intentions, I'm posting here as well.

I'd put this on top of my list:

Left home early enough to get to work by 8AM. Jumped on the fwy and it was packed. Traffic news says an accident on the 210 jamming the 5. What normally took 25 minutes ended up being 1:15on the road with 5 minutes to go.

Along Tampa Blvd 3 blocks before I turn right, I took off from the stop light going from the left lane onto the right lane but accelerated pretty quick to beat everyone else. As soon as I got to the middle lane out comes a black and white with his lights flashing. I did not even see him and was caught off guard by this. To be honest I did not know if I even went above the speed limit (45), all I knew is I got there fast. I stopped just before the next light and I was mad at myself ready to tell the officer I'm sorry, you got me. I was also thinking great, I have no plates in the front, car's pretty loud, I'm gonna get a hefty fix it ticket on top of a speeding ticket.

Officer steps out of his car, with his partner sitting inside, officer came to my side smiling and stuck his hand out to shake mine, all while I was telling him how sorry I was and you got me. Told him about the traffic I was just it and rushing to get to work, etc. He was talking over me at the same time saying no, no, you're cool. I just wanted to stop you because I'm car guy and I love what you did with your car.....and that exhaust, it sounds really good. I'm not giving you a ticket. I'm just a car guy and my partner even knows that, so you're cool. How lucky can I get! I WAS SO HAPPY!!!! and grateful. I said cool! we can talk about cars all day long Officer xxxxxxx. He asked Where did you get that exhaust? I told him it was made by Fast Intentions in Simi Valley. He said it sounded really good. When you took off, I had to stop and talk to you about it.. In my excitment, I offered to give him two $10 gift cards from work that I readily hand out when I meet people and I was thinking to myself, oh ****, I hope he does not think it's a bribe, I was just happy. He turned it down of course. He said no you're cool. I told him how cool he was and gave him my business card and said let's connect and talk about cars. We can even go to a car meet if you want. He said, cool and shook my hand and let me off. I waved back his partner sitting in the patrol car. I drove off laughing at myself and what just happened the rest of the way to work.

This my friends is the best compliment I had so far.

I was talking about some mods last night with the wife and the issue of saving money on some things came up. She put it best! She said "you just spent x amount of dollars getting exactly what you want, do you really want to Cheap out on anything with this car!" Lol :) I'm buying new!

coolvans1988 09-04-2013 05:19 PM

My Fiance and i want to get one as well when i showed her some youtube clips about this exhaust, but her *** got 2 tickets that gotta be paid first. Hopefully soon, tired of the oem exhaust.
