#830 still going strong, def worth the wait

It is the same height as the lowest point on the stock Z. No issues at stock height unless you decide to go curb jumping or something silly like that. Take speed bumps at angles to protect your front bumper and you will not have problems with the exhaust. Mine has been on for two years without an issue.

Ordered my FI CBE today. It should be here around the first of December so I'm getting a really nice Christmas present!

The fact that the waiting list is so long just goes to show you how in demand these are and therefore should be well worth the wait. Quality does take longer and my Z deserves Z-best!

Just got my F.I. Non Resinated installed on 8-24-15. Oh my god, this thing has my car sounding like a beast and I can feel it pulling harder too. Great product and great customer service. It was a pleasure dealing with Kevin. I'll talk to you soon for the SZ clutch and fly wheel upgrade. I was #1211 by the way.

#1215 just arrived yesterday!

There is no difference. The gen 1 was only a little lower compared to gen 2. Not visible really but effective at not scraping the cans

Need some advise. Installed FI exhaust today and the tips are not completely even. The driver sticks out about 1/4 to 1/2 more than the passenger side. How do you get it to be even because it seems pretty rigid. I remember seeing a few post but cant really find the answer I need. Help because the car is up on stands and today is perfect to get this out and see how they sound.

Just use a couple gaskets.

This will push the shorter side out to match the length of the other side.

I must also add that I used the Fast Intentions 2.5-inch, 3-bolt metal gaskets (Fast Intentions). I am hopeful you have access to those, as I'm not sure if it is proper to use two or three gaskets of some other type or to mix types of gaskets. Perhaps someone else can add some insight.

I am going to reach out to FI for some of the 3-bolt metal gaskets. I think that may work. As for not being totally centered I pulled hard on one side and pushed on the other side to try and get it to line up close to each other and its not too bad. Trying to get it perfect because after this long wait it should be. Thanks for the input, don't look like to many people are DIY out there.
