Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

flashburn · 06-07-2010, 05:06 PM

Given the right amount of $$$ I'm pretty sure F.I. will do anything within reason.

Sold 2 more today! #181 &182. I will update the list soon...

Thanks, Tony

#181 is all me!

Only had the Z for a week and already needed an upgrade. I went w/ HFC's and 18" resonators on the CBE. Hurry up August! Thanks again Tony!

So, 12" with LTH will probably rasp big time, huh?

Juruki · 06-08-2010, 04:28 PM

In some youtube videos it does sound too raspy for me...
I like how it sounds on this one thou:

Videos lie! Jk... lol. Yeah, it sounds pretty damn sweet in that clip... I guess it just depends on the mic you're using.

Guys, another question about the FI exhaust....
People are telling me that there is a difference in the sound of the exhaust based on if u buy CF mufflers or not. That didn't make any sense to me because I thought all they are doing is changing the material to carbon, which shouldn't make a real difference in sound. Is the statement about the sound change true because it just seems wrong???

Thanks

The carbon fiber is the sleeve to the muffler it is not an overlay. The sound escapes easier through the carbon fiber and is absorbed better through the stainless steel. They sound very similar and most people will not be able to tell the difference. I designed the system and have heard more combinations than anyone. This is how I am able to know the difference.

Its too bad you cant have some sort of mock up in the shop of the differing setups that someone could listen to them all individually, and pick out what combination they like...

I know that would prolly cost a ton, and use alot of resources, but you have to admit, as a vendor, I would think it could be great for helping the unsure make a good choice cause they know what they are getting before its on their car.

Just thinking out loud Tony lol [/Derail]

Thanks, that clears it up....I might want the carbon mufflers if I need to get some weight out of my rear, but I don't want to make any significant changes to weight distribution (I am a Track Geek). My next decision is 18" or no resonators at all....hmmm...Just need to find out some stuff about drone and loudness

semtex · 06-09-2010, 01:42 PM

I can't get over the how raspy the 12" resonators sound in this vid . . .

Versus this one:

I've got the 12" w/ CF mufflers on order, and I already have the LTH. I really really don't want it to sound like the car in the first vid. But if it sounds like the car in the second vid, then I'm all for it. Ugh!!!!

XwChriswX · 06-09-2010, 01:43 PM

I want LTH's so I know I'll need 18" res to counteract the open headers... I just dunno if I wanna do SS cans for better muffling action, or the CF ones since my Z is black and all... Decisions Decisions lol

That is how my exhaust sounds with LTH and Berk exhaust (video one), I was thinking of jumping to F.I. if it sounded like the second video but now I am not sure.
