I think it is the fact that I am able to tweak things in the install process. The way it has lately here is the driver side needed to come down. Since it is never the same side and every car is different, we do not like to jump the gun and make permanent changes. It is so minor one washer usually fixes it.

KevinN, what options did you order?

Sorry to hear you won't be needing the exhaust. I had no idea how incomplete my life was until I installed mine!

I want to second this, in my case the driver side had to come down a bit as well. And indeed a couple of washers did the trick...

Finally Installed
 
Just a brief report on the FI HFC/CBE I recently received from Tony (I was #206). Due to my schedule, I didn't have it installed until yesterday (10/18). It was done by a local (Birmingham, AL) performance exhaust company that I've used for about 20 years to install all of the aftermarket exhaust systems I've bought during that time and their work is top-notch; I've never had a problem with their work over my 20 yrs of doing business with them. (ACME Muffler-(205-324-7697). I'm not in any way affiliated with them; it was only after installation was complete and I had paid my bill that i asked permission to mention their name on this forum, and this info is given only to give forum members in my area a place to use to install an aftermarket exhaust system if they, like me, recognize their mechanical limitations and realize that some repair/ installation work is best left to people who do that for a living.
Total time at the facility was 1:45 minutes and total bill was $149.99. They unpacked my new FI system, and even repacked my old system in the original packing materials so I could keep it and reinstall the original system if the need ever arises.
The FI system is the fourth aftermarket exhaust system I've bought over the years. Previous systems: (1) Flowmaster installed on a 1994 Vette, (2) Borla installed on a 2005 Vette, (3) Magnaflow insalled on a 2006 Vette. Hands down, the FI exhaust is the best aftermarket system I've used. Fit and Finish, quality, sound, and performance are second to none, and the system is actually much better than I had expected. Plus it is the best looking aftermarket system I've seen on a Nismo. Just my two cents.

Tony I ordered an exhaust from you a while back, and while I've loved it ever since I had it put in I am now having issues with it.

I got the 12" res with HFC's and right now I have an exhaust leak. The exhaust leak is occuring where the HFC's meet the rest of the exhaust, this is because NO GASKETS WERE USED and high-temp silicon was used to seal it.

I know you gave me gasket for the exhaust to fit to the HFC's but the shop is claiming that no gaskets to connect the HFC's to the headers were included so they used that instead and said it's not uncommon for aftermarket exhaust to not include it.

The shop is going to fix it for free but I know this issue will happen again down the line. Do you have gaskets that you can send to me?

Please let me know, I'm VERY concerned.

I just spent the morning with Tony and his team at F. I. I now have my 18" res CF CBE on my 40th and I am loving it. Tony and his team are great and did a great job mounting the system for me while I watched and bugged them. I love the sound the car makes. I got to drive home on both freeway and a windy road and I really enjoyed listening to it. I looks great on the car. I am very very happy. I thought I was going to pull a cramp in my face when Tony fired it up the first time because I was smiling so big.
Thanks Tony.
Randy
