The lowest point is the front of the rear two cans. They are about 5 inches off of the ground. Keep in mind, where they are located is in relation to the rear tires and as the car goes over a speed bump, by the time it is on the down swing the front of the mufflers are over the bump. No doubt you will have to be careful and mindful of your exhaust. But you should be like that anyway.

I know I'm careful no matter what, but the only concern I have is when you run into a similar situation as I did when I went into the city (NYC) and enter a strip of road that had warped pavement (looks like the road is dried up lava, with waves in it) and unfortunatly I couldnt avoid all of these 'waves' and I went over one right down the middle where no tires lifted up and BAM caught some of the cross-member/exhaust....

That was both scary and blood boiling mad, but luckily, no dmg was done, just some scuffs...but man I wouldnt want to run into that with this exhaust and have that ripp a whole in those canisters.

Especially if your riding around as low as I am...

Yeah, my side pipes were lowest at the midpoint of the Mustang, so they could easily get owned over a speed bump. I totally forgot to think about the cans in relation to the rear wheels. They should be fine. :tup:

:rock:

+Respect for a Mustang owner!

yo everybody should really stop comparing the results between berks and FI...

different cars, different dyno, different methods, different everything...also one has stock intakes the other has stillen G3.... common now... oh and both are not independent tests...

i guess i'll have a say here since it's chaos already...lol


F.I has a pretty darn good rep to the G37 community and they're exhaust setup is the most favored catback in the community

that is exactly what people should be considering when trying to figure out what exhaust to buy especially for new developing products... the identity of the company... please stop comparing the dynos... its just a number :tup:

just to help everyone out on how i got to my conclusion that the dynos cannot be compared to each other...

Unless you are reffeing to the Berk car having Gen III intakes, you have lost me.

Ok... am sorry...from my read through the thread nothing indicated what other parts are on the car (or i missed the part that it was complete stock)... all i did was to figure out what was on the car by what posts the owner had made... and he has posted on another thread that he had G3 intakes installed... in short, i put those two information together and concluded that it was never taken out considering the effort that goes into putting those on and off...

REGARDLESS OF THIS INFORMATION, my whole statement is to stop the argument/comparison/bashing between the dyno of Berk to the dyno of FI... IT IS WHAT IT IS... and like what have been said... your company is well regarded by multiple car forums and owners...in any case thank you for clarifying that additional fact... :tup:

Thank you for taking the time to clear that up.

For the bashing, I do not feel anyone is bashing. This is my thread that I created. People have asked questions and I have answered them to the best of my ability. People will always compare and argue. They are doing it right now because Berk and Fast Intentions are the two newest on the market. I am sorry if you feel offended by what any of us might say but facts are facts...

Thank you, Tony

I know this is REALLY late in the game... But I am leaning towards buying this exhaust based on I like the design. However, the angle of the only pic showing it on the car doesn't really show what I can expect to see with the car sitting on the ground. Is there another pic that can be taken from just behind the car on the ground, or do you have anymore sitting around somewhere we haven't seen yet?

:drool:

You read my mind... I was hoping it would be on a black one. :excited:

Ok only question, and I hope it hasen't been asked/answered already...

This exhaust doesnt have the mesh section built into the Y-Pipe?
Reason? Or unneeded?

Will this only bolt up to F.I. HFC's or Berk's as well?

Don't know about the mesh, in the y-pipe. But yes this will bolt up to any HFC, they are all the same in fitment.

Then it's decided, I'll be going with the F.I. Exhaust.

We use an X Pipe because it is a true dual cat back. it will bolt right up to any cat that ends in stock location...

Thanks, Tony

Where can I find the purchase link in the sponsor section?

Just call Tony, great guy to deal with.

I think this exhaust is awesome...

My only concern is the ground clearance on the rear end of the cans... I know that it was mentioned that the cans are about 5-6 inches off the ground but this is at STOCK height, right..??

How about when Eibach Springs or Coilovers are installed..?? Now that can be sort of an issue...

Please correct me if I'm wrong...

I'm wondering the same thing. Would it be too low with coilovers that lower the car?

Here is what tony said a few pages back

I think that the real thing to consider is how much clearance is lost by this exhaust. Coilovers can be adjusted. Slamming your car will definately cause you to scrape the underside. The real question is if a reasonable drop, with reasonable suspension compression on a reasonable road will scrape. Or on speedbumps.

That said, I think this exhaust is a work of art. It definitely deserves the attention it is getting here in the community and I'd like to thank Fast Intentions, and especially Tony for doing this. I will defintitely be ordering in the near future.

Wonder if having some kind of 'skid plate' fabricated to protect them, perhaps add some aerodynamic qualities as well, should be R&D'd-ed-ed?

I can see a plastic cover for the midsection in the rear to reduce draft, but as a skid playe over the exhaust, maybe over the top

We just took the car out for lunch, went over numerous speed bumps at a regular pace. The exhaust didn't even come close to hitting.

BTW, we also tested out a non resonated X Pipe. You want to talk about exotic, holy crap it sound wicked.

When can we expect sound clips? :tup:

I WANT TO HEAR THAT!!!!!!!!!

Not even kidding, I really want to hear what this non-resonated system sounds like, especially with a set of your resonated Testees! :D:D:D

Yes please

Tony!!! dont do this to us!!!

post that Da*# Video :excited:

I am going for a tunnel run tonight with the car. It is equiped with our HFC's and the X Pipe with the 12" resonators. Now I have a non resonated X Pipe in my shop that I might try to get back on there sometime next week. But for now the video I am doing tonight will have to do.

has anyone even bought the non-res X pipe yet? I soooooo want to hear this. Hope it isn't raspy.

guess i have to wait till next week to here the non-res...bring on the video :rolleyes:

I understand the point you made where the lowest point is in relation to the tires.. However, you guys have been driving around with the car at STOCK height..

Are you planning to lower the car anytime soon and take more pictures and do more test drives..??

I am almost 100% positive that anyone who is modding their Z is going to lower the car...

Thanks..

Awesome exhaust Tony as so many have said.

I have also sent you a PM and Email regarding the RTP's and CBE. Keep up the great work mate.

I have plenty of mods, and I'm not going to lower my car. After having my 03 Z lowered and dealing with trying to get it back to spec, and bottoming out everywhere, and having to take entrences at angles, I gave up. My 370 will stay stock height. I think that anybody who lowers there car will have issues with any exhaust, more less anything under their car. Your gonna scrap at some point. Why worry about it.

how low was it?
 

How low did you drop your 350?
