^^^ InsanO -- Congrats on your purchase. I have mine for about 2.5 months now and it's great. Just love the exhaust. You'll be breaking necks down under and will be very exclusive. If you can, pair it with HFCs and it's gold! Let us know what you think.

I remember getting a thumbs up from a beer truck driver as I was turning onto the main road after my exhaust was installed at Tony's shop. I do not recall a day when no one turned heads. The sound is just that impressive and coming from a Z does not hurt either.

For the last several weeks I've been reading the threads on the FI exhaust. A couple of questions come to my mind , curious if most people are having them installed or doing it themselves?
I can see the benefit of a lift but I don't know if I trust a chain muffler shop like Midas doing the install on my new "Z".

Also wondering about the labor cost of the installation?
I would appreciate any feedback and maybe a vote of confidence in a place like Midas or suggestions.

A CBE is something that can be done with relative ease...

I would not trust a shop that is not a tuner shop to do work on it.

Get jack stands and a jack and put it up. It can be done with ease.

I'm lucky to have access to a lift :-)

I wouldn't dare take it to a Mineke or Midas to have the work done, but a Custom/Performance auto shop can.

If you're only installing the CBE, then save the money and do it yourself in the driveway. If you're looking to install HFC's/TP's/Headers and are not very well stocked in tools, or don't have a high mechanical ability, I would leave it to the shop for the peace of mind.

I did my LTH's and the rest of my exhaust myself. Using jack stands lifting the Z up about 18" off the ground.

The installation is very straightforward. There is no cutting or welding required. Everything will bolt directly into stock location. We will supply you with new hardware, gaskets and installation instructions. The entire install should not take more than 1-1.5 hours.

Here is a great DYI video below that one of our customers was kind enough to create and share with the community.

If you have any further questions or would like to place an order, please do not hesitate to call me directly.

Thank you, Tony

#647 waiting for me at the door today , now it gets to sit for 2 more months while we wait for the salt to be gone.

If the exhaust sounds anything as good as it looks, and the care they took to ship it, no doubt ill be happier then flies on poop LOL

Thanks again Tony!

Default FI Exhaust Review

FI Cat back no resonators:

Pros:
- Packing was impeckable
- My mechanic said and I quote: "wow they even grind down the welds"
- Attention to detail was impressive
- Installation went smooth with exception of a rusted bolt on the car snapped off
- No adjustment required...went on perfect the first time.
- Sounds DEEEEEPPP and menacing!
- More power across the board but mostly felt in upper RPM's

Cons:
- Are there any? I wish it was a little bit louder but I dont think thats really a con. I just need Momentum headers and resonated CAT delete pipes.

On to the good stuff then...

Pics:

- Before





- After






Video

- Rev



- TUNNEL!!!!!

By 13 I am assuming that you mean 2013 NISMO? From a performance standpoint, the NISMO exhaust is an upgraded version of the stock exhaust! It is also heavier than the stock exhaust. If you really want to relieve the back pressure and utilize the full performance potential than you need to put on a good aftermarket exhaust.

That being said, thank you for inquiring about our exhaust system. We have many options available. The (Standard) pricing starts at $1,100. Options for the CBE are as follows:

Non Resonated X Pipe: (Standard)
This X pipe comes without resonators and will be your loudest option. Very exotic sounding and slightly higher pitched. With stock or high flow cats the rasp should be very minimal if any at all.

12" Resonated X Pipe: +$130
The 12" resonators will go in line inside of the x pipe. They will smoothen out the exhaust note and quiet down the interior noise. This option is our middle of the road option in terms of sound level.

18" Resonated X Pipe: +$160
The 18" resonators are our quietest option. They will cut the most interior noise out as well as give you the smoothest exhaust note. Even though this is the quietest option we have, it is still a large improvement over the stock exhaust note.

NOTE: The resonators are strictly noise canceling devices and DO NOT hinder the performance at all.

Polished Stainless Steel Mufflers: (Standard)
This is our standard option. The mufflers will have a mirror finish to them. Given the angle that the mufflers sit, they are very noticeable from behind the car.

Carbon Fiber Mufflers: +$275
The upgrade of the Carbon Fiber mufflers will give you three changes.
1) They are a combined weight of 6 pounds lighter than the Stainless Steel mufflers.
2) The overall decibel level is higher by roughly 5%-8% over the Stainless Steel mufflers.
3) The aesthetics are completely different. Where the Stainless Steel mufflers attract a lot of attention, the Carbon Fiber mufflers blend in much more. At night they look black.

I think that this covers it all for now. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Thank you, Tony
