The mod bug has hit me and my wallet very hard in about the past month! Oh sweet what did you plastidip?!

right now I am just doing my emblems and my friends emblems until I get better at it, and then I am going to do the fangs and the rear valence both black. So far it looks great! Extremely happy with it.

Well, just kinda sucks for the rest of the people who have bought them already....

What are you guys referring to...?

Read the last 3 posts on page 408.

Just to clarify.. I have not heard it from Tony I was just answering your question.

jpritche · 08-10-2011, 06:44 PM

I also have not heard anything directly from him about it being changed, just going off of what other people have said.

Its strange when you post good news about a product improving on its design that some people get bent....its a good thing people. Who the hell wants to scrape those beautiful cans? I came across a thread the other day where a member was trying to decide what exhaust to get and said he was thinking about FI but didnt want to scrape his cans. So I just passed along the info I had just received from Tony, I didn't want that guy to settle for a lesser exhaust because of something that is not an issue. As for why it's never been mentioned on here, I don't know. All I can say is Tony is extremely busy trying to build awesome stuff for us all and I'm sure we would all rather have him in the shop than on the forums.

No one's bent, just saying I would think a change in the design would be something that would have been announced... No worries.

And I still say there was nothing wrong with the old can height. I'm dropped right now and have never scraped them once. I dunno how the guys drive but AZ/Cali/Vegas/Texas roads suck and I've never scraped. So I dunno what they do differently??

Nobody is bent but im just saying. I bought my exhaust a few months ago, if I knew the design was going to change a few months later, i most likely would have held out and waited to allow more ground clearance for my car.... I think most people can understand that...

I'm just wondering guys.. for those of you who did the F.I. TDX as a first mod did you really feel the extra power? I know that the power is about 20 whp, just wondering about the butt dyno.

I can't really say for just the CBE as I had my headers and CBE installed at the same time, but for my opinion, yes there was a definite gain in power on the butt dyno from that, and the real dyno confirmed a 35hp gain.

did you have the Stillen intake or any intake for that matter installed?

F.I. headers and exhaust both? How loud is your set-up?

No, K&N Drop Ins and Cobb post MAF tubes.

Yup, both. And my canyon runs and dyno runs are a page or two back if you wanna hear for yourself... But no, it's not loud. It's actually quieter than an HFC setup.

35 seems like it's very good for that set-up IMO anyway. With some G3's and pulleys you might get a fair amount more.

I would think that the LTH's and the CBE would be REALLY loud lol. 18" resonators i'm guessing? and yeah I will check out the vids thanks!
