Fast Intentions exhaust is here! (continued)

XwChriswX

Read any of the dozens of FI customer reviews. This exhaust is constantly complimented on it's ease of install and borderline Better than OEM fitment. Tony and his crew did an outstanding job making sure you could literally pull this out of the box having little or no technical expertise at all, and install it with Zero problems.


Flex pipes account for vibrations, and motions from the engine/header/cbe, yes. However, typically they are not made from the same grade of steel as the rest of the exhaust, so they will rust out. 2ndly, they are typically lower at their point under the body than the rest of the system so they have a potential to scrape easier. 3rdly, a lot of companies use them so that their system doesn't quite have to fit exactly right, there is room for error. Tony doesn't operate like this, nor should anyone else. You make it fit, or you scrap it and start over.

Install and fitment don't worry me though, longevity does of other parts or weld joints. From what I read I have to disagree with everything you said respectfully. The MXP CBE for example I guarantee doesn't scrape nor any other CBE system I ever had like Turbo XS or Invidia. Also I don't think companies would sell $1000+ CBE and use mild steel flex pipes. I just checked my TXS flex section and its 304SS as my neodymium magnet will not stick. A google search also comes up with no flex sections that aren't 304SS braided. Now the end caps might be 409SS but that will still out last the car. One last thing, if the flex sections scraped than so would mufflers and resonators as they are much thicker in diameter than any flex pipe. The flex pipes are bolted right buy the cats which will not move that much. Ever flexed a flex pipe? You get maybe 1/2" in trying to move them. No where near enough to touch the ground unless a company has the pipe hanging to low.
