Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

Methodical4u · 09-09-2011, 01:12 AM

Ok, I replaced the gaskets that I TRIED to use but they just produced a leak... my fault though.. I didn't read the directions like I should have.

Oh well though, I fixed everything tonight and when I started it, it was much more quiet than last night. I also disconnected the battery to make sure the ECU is reset for when I take it out. Hopefully that will be tomorrow, but it's been raining here so much I haven't wanted to take the car out.

I do indeed LOVE the tone though... it's just an excellent sound. This was actually the exhaust I picked out over all of the ones I listened to even before I got the car when I went through all of the vid clips... plus it looks AWESOME lol.

Anyway, I am still going to try to get some vids outside of the car of take-off, drive by, etc.

Just placed my order for the CBE w/18" resonators. Getting the resonated HFCs from a forum member at a great price too. I am #398. Hello to everyone on the waiting list.

well i'm happy for you man... I thought you were going to give yourself permanent brain damage from going through all the choices lol. IMO you made the correct one however.

Haha, thanks. Yeah, I was analyzing every option and combo. Install will be in November so I still have a while to wait

oh well, just wait and relax until it comes to your door then... at least you got it ordered. You going to do the install yourself?

brucelidat · 09-09-2011, 04:36 PM

Actually, it won't be coming to my door. I'll be driving there and having them install it. Saves me $90 shipping and have the masters install it as well. Their install rates are very reasonable for the CBE/HFC combo. Plus, there's a tune shop nearby I will go to after the install for an Uprev tune.

My thinking too. I want to wait until I have a few more mods before I do the tune.

Juruki · 09-09-2011, 07:19 PM

question:
Is tony really raising the lowest part of the exhaust by an inch? I heard this on another thread

brucelidat · 09-09-2011, 07:39 PM

He told me the new design which has been in effect for about 3 months has more ground clearance than the old one.

brucelidat · 09-09-2011, 07:43 PM

Yeah, waiting for all your mods before a tune would be good. I think the CBE and HFCs will be my old power mods though. I heard the CAI won't make much of a diff if it's coming on after the exhaust. You mainly feel that one if it's your first mod, or that's what people tell me. I am also doing an oil cooler and spacers, but those will be on before the rest and aren't performance mods (though i guess the oil cooler allows the car to perform).

If you're planning on doing the CAI and pulleys and more, though, def good to save by doing the tune later, although a friend of mine was overheating on the track because he was running too lean and that forced him to get a tune. I also heard that the first Uprev tune costs the most because they need to register you and stuff. Subsequent ones shouldn't be as much.

I know as of right now the best combo for getting over 300 whp is the CBE, HFCs or TP's and a CAI... many people are now throwing the pulleys in the mix and some are even going with the 4.08 gears, but i'm not sure about that one. I HEARD that it messes with the 6's rev match, but that's why you don't go by what you hear.
