It might be a possibility if we can get the exhaust built by Friday I might have you come in and get it installed. We are going to be cutting it real close though!

ok just let me know! if it's going to jeopardize the quality of the exhaust tho, i would much rather wait. Thanks Tony!

Im waiting on the resonators to come in as well (order #75). Getting might anxious over here! I have RTPs + 18" resonators with SS mufflers going on. I hope the sound is to my liking, some mention the 18" resonators are too conservative but Im hoping with the RTPs it will be just agressive enough without being obnoxious.

Can anyone else with this exact combination (RTPs + 18" resonators SS mufflers) chime in?

I just got the conformation email that the resonators are being shipped to me UPS RED. Let's not count our eggs though until they hatch. Once I have a tracking number we are one step closer but still not out of the woods until I have them in hand. I will be calling you shortly...

Thanks, Tony

anyone take any new vids lately?

I'm looking at getting the exhaust soon, but I noticed it hangs really low to the ground. Has anyone noticed scraping or any other problems due to this? Thanks

let me guess, the nismo is too quiet for you? if so, this is the reason i turned down buying a used nismo, because so many people have bought them and almost immediately turned them around and sold them for something better. i am very glad i decided to turn down the nismo for the FI. now if i can just get it made and delivered

#086!

^ man, I was thinking the same thing... The way I drive and the roads around here: I'm bottoming out all of the time even in the the back... There's a few intersections around here where the cross roads are elevated so the bump at the end tends to scrape the back if you go to fast. I was thinking about this the other day when it happened to me. I would ripped this exhaust clean off by now, but that prolly just me.

FastJew · 02-11-2010, 06:15 PM

Actually, the lowest point on this exhuast is about 6-12" behind the rear wheels. If you look at the departure angle the tips will drag first and this will happen with any exhaust with 4" tips.

What you have to watch out for is tall speed bumps, objects in the road, or strategically placed and deep potholes. Which hopefully you are already watching out for with such a low car.

Still have not heard of any issue with scraping though.

StillenZ · 02-11-2010, 06:26 PM

I hope I didn't give the impression that they will scrape...I think after almost 200 pages of this with all good reviews no one should worry!! Fast Intentions has done a bad A$$ job with all of their parts so far....and the customer service seems like it can't get any better, so I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong here.

edit: I guess I did kinda give that impression, but I drive like I stole it and I know of 2 intersections where it happens to me... yet I've done it like 3 times... Haven't even looked under my car because I'm afraid it will piss me off

Haha..yea thats all Im worried about. There are quite a few railroads around here that are pretty harsh and not to mention my steep azz driveway. It's horrible but I've finally figured out how to not scrape my front spoiler. I just don't want to dish out the money and end up with scratched or even worse, dented muffler.
I'm getting it regardless since I haven't heard any bad new from others yet.

jmlenz · 02-11-2010, 06:53 PM

^ well Im sitting pretty low on coilovers right now and will have the FI CBE installed within a week...if anyone scrapes I will

SophiaZ · 02-11-2010, 07:39 PM

The S-Tune is pretty loud with the HFC's....but I heard about the F.I. and fell in love. It looks better, has better gains, and its much deeper w/o the hfc...which I am still adding also

Just got rid of my nismo cbe and hfc's for $500...had to get rid of them! Put stock back on til my new exhaust is delivered (sounds so boring now haha)
