Fast Intentions exhaust is here! (continued)

Installed mine tonight. The build quality is seriously top knot notch Thick flanges, smoothed internal welds, quality bolts and gaskets. Fits like a glove. It’s has a nice deep tone, no rasp, and really opens up as you get on the gas. Couldn’t be happier!! Thanks Kevin and the rest of the fast intentions group!

Grats! considering self install, but worried about that damn demon bolt. How did you fair? Only 15k on mine but still... worried... I don't own a lift but can rent a bay so don't want to spend the hours paying that could rack up to what I'd pay a mechanic to install anyway

If you are doing HFCs as well, I suggest soaking the bolts down with liquid wrench 24-48 hours before. This is much easier if it isn't your daily driver. I put my Z up on jack stands several days before and sprayed the bolts down several times a day for three days. From there I used several extensions and an impact socket. My son was under the car holding the socket firmly on the bolt while I was up top turning the breaker bar. Both came off fairly easily. I was actually surprised. I've been told they came off that easy because my car had low mileage.

If you aren't doing HFCs, you won't need to deal with them at all.

I only did the CBE, no HFCs, so a relatively simple install. But I'm too damned old (number 67 coming up) to be crawling under a car on ramps & jack stands anymore. I looked into renting a bay and compared costs to having a trusted shop do the install. Cost me just north of $300 for the good guys at the shop vs. $167/hr. for the bay rental. Actually cost me less ($$$ and personal wear & tear) to have it done. I just had Kevin ship directly to the shop. The important thing is to have a shop that you know and trust to take pride in doing quality work. Don't just go to a chain muffler outlet and hope for the best.
