Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

dainedazz · 09-26-2009, 04:48 PM

MrBMW, that ENZO exhaust sounds so beasty! you saying that the FI came close to the ENZO sound note placed a smile to my face!

vids guys

m4a1mustang · 09-26-2009, 07:10 PM

I will tell you that my CBE doesn't sound anything like an Enzo. It does sound excellent in it's own right, though. Very deep and rich with a refined, exotic tone. It's perfect.

Vids... I'll try to get some when the weather clears up. I'm pretty ticked that I haven't been able to drive with the windows down at all today. Had Rain, rain, go away...

m4a1mustang · 09-26-2009, 07:21 PM

Oh yeah -- important: you can definitely feel the pickup in power across the board. It's very noticeable. From 2k all the way through the range there is a very noticeable gain.

Argh... I failed the wife test today with the HFC's hahaha.

She thinks they're too loud and drone too much for her liking. I did take it out on the interstate today and personally didn't mind it much at all... yes you heard the exhaust, obviously; but it's not what I would consider "drone". You want drone, I used to have an RSX-S with a straight pipe, lol. I could easily carry conversation and listen to my music no prob.

Anyhow, the exhaust does set off two different car alarms in my neighborhood, ha ha ha (warning chirps as I drive past). It also set off the car next to me on campus on cold start. It's just SO deep and beautiful ha ha. I'm going to pick up some replacement OEM gaskets and put the factory ones back on and just run the CBE and OEM cats. *sigh*

If it was just MY decision, believe me, I'd continue to run the HFC's. But as any of you other married guys can guess my own happiness is, well not entirely my own.

The exhaust seems to go quiet around the 3k rpm range, maybe you should keep your revs there when your wife's around haha

I would like to 2nd this. I have really notice that when just cruising around the volume does drop off a lot at 3k. Mind you guys both Sam and I have the Test Pipes, so it should be quieter with HFC's.

G37Sam · 09-26-2009, 08:19 PM

Oh I was talking about the HFC+CBE setup.. with test pipes it's a totally different story!! So Enzo-like haha

m4a1mustang · 09-26-2009, 08:20 PM

Man, so we're going to have two sets of HFCs up for grabs! One slightly used and one brand-spanken new!

Valentino · 09-26-2009, 08:26 PM

You guys are pushing me, to get one.

hmmm....

dainedazz · 09-26-2009, 08:55 PM

Do it do it do it do it do it!

shumby · 09-26-2009, 09:14 PM

if you are onnly looking at sound then no HFC. But hfc and tp give you the best gains.

m4a1mustang · 09-27-2009, 11:59 AM

I don't know how you guys with the 12" res or no res handle the noise. The 18" are loud!

heh...sonny...whats that...speak up man...

DIGItonium · 09-27-2009, 12:15 PM

With the car idling cold in the morning, the garage door starts to rattle.

Can you make a video similar to mine so I can hear it? I try not to drive it too hard in the neighborhood, but it's a good gauge for casual driving.

Hey m4a' didnt you have some insanely loud exhaust on your Stang previously (could be getting mixed up with someone else LOL). If so i though this wouldve been fine. There are a few V8's around me, plus Rotarys fo that matter that are still a bit louder than mine with the RTP's.

LOL, to many nightclubs and concerts as younger guy, could explain why it's no so made for me hehehe. Yes the RTP's are still Extremely loud and louder than i first thought. Although it is growing on me more and more that i drive it.
