Fast Intentions exhaust is here! (continued)

Definitely well worth the wait, I had Stillen exhaust in the past and this surpasses it 10 times over!

Do tell in what ways it surpasses the Stillen 10x over? I am not being facetious. I am still on the fence between these two, Stillen and FI, CBE systems. I was told that the wait is about 8-10 weeks for the FI CBE. Thanks.

When I originally ordered my Stillen exhaust I was told the turnaround was about 2 weeks, when in fact it took well over a month to get delivered. Still not as long as FI but the wait was still there.

Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with the Stillen exhaust but when comparing the two you can see the FI is lighter with less bottlenecking and the quality is a notch better. From the rear view standpoint the FI wins hands down as this thing looks like it's ready to kick some A$$. The sound of the FI exhaust is what excites me the most when driving my Z, the Stillen had more of a rasp as the FI has more of a growl. You literally want to stay deep in the throttle while driving the FI to hear the beautiful notes it produces at varied RPMs.

Again at the end of the day it's all about preference, both are really great exhaust but the FI just excites me more during my Driving Experience

not sure what rasp you had on yours but i had 0 rasp or drone on mine. when i installed test pipes then i had some rasp. both are good exhausts and the FI is lighter than the stillen one

Thanks for the input. Yes the FI looks awesome from every view. I am so confused; do I get the Stillen and enjoy it sooner or get the FI and wait for 8-12 weeks??? Decisions, decisions, decisions!!!

I was in the same boat. I really liked the FI but I had the money burning a hole in my bank account and wasn't sure about the wait. I lucked out and found a used FI exhaust for sale in the classifieds. Keep an eye on them, you might be able to find one without the wait and end up saving a few bucks as well.

Thanks. I thought of that as well. I even found a local FI CBE posted a few months ago. Price was right but the CBE had over 35,000 kms on it. I just could not bring myself to buying a used exhaust for a brand new 370Z. I will continue to search, you never know.

If I own a '16 Z, I'd go with a brand new exhaust.
3 months wait wasn't so bad, at the end it's all worth it.

Order now and July is only beginning of summer!
