Fast Intentions exhaust is here! (continued)

Huck · 07-11-2012, 09:25 AM

Honestly, it's hard to describe, it's something you need to hear in person and if possible, drive each one for a day. The CF gives it a slight bit more of a Lamborghini kind of sound, where the stainless steel is just low and muffled and sexy.

I have been debating between CF and SS. I even talked to Tony a couple weeks ago to see about changing my order to CF cans. From him he stated that it does change the sound just a little to make it a little more "exotic" if you will. It just gives a slightly different note. But the SS cans give you that patented Fast Intentions note. He basically said if I was on the fence to go by looks more than what you think it will sound like as it is all personal preference.

The CF definately looks awesome and if I were going to be adding more CF accents to the exterior of the car I would definately consider them. Also if I were able to hear CF vs SS in person I would better be able to make a decision if I liked one more than the other on sound alone. But unfortunately I have to go by youtube videos as no one around here has Fast Intentions on their Z.

Getting close to getting mine and can't wait

Tony, looks like you're running slightly behind on ship dates. Can we get an updated list? Thanks!

Slammed370 · 07-11-2012, 09:52 PM

yup im #535 estimated ship date was 6/28 to 7/12 haven't heard anything yet. looks like a few more to go. but whats another week or so when u have already waited 3 months.

svt to 370z · 07-12-2012, 09:23 AM

Anyone noticed a loss of low end power after having the FI CBE installed (no HFC or anything)

are you just asking or comparing notes after you did the install?

jdsuowner · 07-12-2012, 12:02 PM

Asking, havent had it installed yet

Slammed370 · 07-12-2012, 11:46 AM

I already have Berk hfc installed just waiting for exhaust.

TerribleONE · 07-12-2012, 12:15 PM

I dont believe you should feel any, at least this was the case with my G37... which obviously is heavier than the Z so any loss of torque would be more evident.

adidas5482 · 07-12-2012, 12:47 PM

The dyno chart shows zero torque loss throughout the entire band

Good to hear, thanks guys

Hey guys, I am in the process of ordering the CF CBE from FI. After reading the forums and watching countless videos I am still on the fence on which resonator to get the 12" or the 18". I would like to hear some feed back from some of you who have installed the 12" or 18" rather it be SS or CF thanks. Ive read that the 12" produces little to no drone I was just curious how true this actually is. I do use the car as a daily driver and will probably be leaving the stock cats on for some time. Thanks for the info in advance.

My Z is my DD right now as well. After talking with Tony and other members here I went with 18". I get the sound I want with no drone. But I am also putting on HFC at the same time.

From my research if you are keeping stock cats go with 12"

If you are putting on TP or HFC go with 18"

Only 5 more to go til I get mine
