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.
