Fast Intentions exhaust is here! (continued)

JungleZ

Lakeshow you saying 18" Cf better than 12" ?
I hope i dont regret getting 12" CF and it be too loud.

I mean it definitely will be louder than the 18", depends what your looking for though. 18" I thought was going to be fairly quiet, but it's actually has a perfect balance of loudness to it. I think personally 12" would be a little bit louder than I would've liked.
But it's up to you, all I can tell you is 18" is loud enough IMO. The thing that sucks is to really tell the difference or get a sense of how loud these specific setups are you have to hear it in person. I watched almost every F.I. YouTube video and multiple times I might add, it just doesn't do the exhaust it's justice. I was quite surprised how loud mine was when I heard it.

The exhaust sounds better after it breaks in after a few starts and drives... it gets much more even and once everything is warmed up, you just can't help but to bitch slap whoever tries to close the windows...

Hey guys, you really need to get 500+ miles on it & you will see it quite down a lot. So JungleZ, don't panic if it's a little loud at first. I have non-res CF & it has quieted down & smoothed out a lot compared to the first few hundred miles. I was a little concerned at first, but for me it has settled down to a perfect note.

YMMV

I agree. I have R HFC and the NR CF. The combination is simply amazing, loud, and exotic - don't know how else to describe it. It pushes you to shift at higher rpms and stay there as long as you can before shifting to the next. It's just wonderful up there. Like I mentioned earlier, 1-4 is the best. I have noticed it starting to tone down, jut a little bit but noticeable. It is loud but not as loud as when I got it installed on day 1. Tony said volume will be reduced by 10% once it settles in. NR is not for everyone but what I do know is that we all changed our driving habits even just by a little bit simply because of the noticeable torque and of course it's amazing sound.

Hey guys.

Have any of you started out with 12" res on the cbe and stock cats.

Then later down the line changed to 18" res and added res HFC?

If yes, how would you describe the change in volume and tone?


Tapatalk & such etc

So I had my first problem today with my exhaust. 13k miles on it now and the weld on the driver side can gave out where it connects to the hanger. Couple quick welds over the weekend should fix the problem.

What do you mean it gave out? Did your diver side exhaust come loose? While driving or parked?

Broken weld. It's broke all the way through couldn't get a better pic at the moment in the garage. I'm sure you get the idea though

Driver side. The weld on the hanger broke right off. Noticed it yesterday when I heard a vibration when parking in my garage. Couldn't figure it out at first then I saw the broken weld.
