Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

Vapiano · 09-15-2011, 10:12 PM

It is done, my mechanic sent these to me earlier tonite, I am picking her up tomorrow. Can't wait to hear how she sounds!

I've got about 150 miles on mine now and it's gotten a lot quieter. Non res with HFCs and now it's not even half as loud as the washer mod. WTF happened?

The glass pack in the mufflers is settling and the HFC's cells are collecting material.

It's just very quiet right now. Cold start its on the loud side, but after that its quiet. Above 4k rpm it's barely louder than when I just had HFCs.

Yup. That's called breaking it in.

Maybe you should get some headers instead of those HFC's...

I would love to have the LTHs they are amazing, but from what I've heard HFCs and TPs are louder than the LTHs...not sure if thats true, just what I've heard. Also I'm so close to pulling the trigger on the amuse partial cf rep

You are one of few my friend that say it is (too) quiet! Most tell me it quiets down but to the point where it is perfect for them. Now if you want to get more sound and more performance but not go overboard with spending than go with our test pipes or resonated test pipes. Either way your performance will increase as well as the sound. That is what you are trying to achieved, right?

Give me a call if you like and we can discuss options.

Have a great weekend...

Thanks, Tony

Thanks Tony. Don't get me wrong the exhaust note is beautiful, really brings out the best of the VQ. I just happen to like things really loud. If I could run LTHs and straight pipes no mufflers and make them exit at the rear of the side skirts that would be phenomenal! The HFCs I have now are pretty loud even with stock exhaust, but they do have some rasp I'm not crazy about. If I could I would get the LTHs in a heartbeat, I would need ceramic coating and the price is just too much for me with my other plans. I'm really not sure if the TPs would be much if any louder than the 200 cell HFCs I'm running now.

I would love to hear what the 3" system sounds like compared to the 2.5". I'm sure there isn't much of a difference but still would be interesting.

Testpipes would be quite a bit louder I'm sure. Have you ever heard them in person?

Same here

Yes but he had TPs paired with the invidia which is a different beast. Still wasn't loud at all

Just wanted to add.... Got my install done(a few days ago--been enjoying the car)!, started working on it, along with my oil cooler and intake mods with a buddy of mine the same night it arrived, after two evenings of work it was all done and buttoned up... exhaust sounds -and looks- amazing, cant help but rev it when I drive under overpasses, such as one right before a stoplight near my house (havent been in a tunnel yet but my palms just got slighty sweaty thinking about it heh) Res HFCs and nonres CBE is an awsome combo, thanks for the recommendations Tony.

brucelidat · 09-17-2011, 06:32 PM

Got the resonated HFCs this week from a forum member. Now it's a waiting game until November when I will get the CBE and have them both installed at the same time.

Ardent_Z · 09-19-2011, 10:58 AM

I installed my FI cat-back on Sunday. Everything went smoothly except that I broke one of the bolts on the passenger catalytic converter. I went ahead with the install anyway. There wasn't a perceptible exhaust leak, but I plan on taking the car to the shop to have them blow out the bolt with a torch and replace it.

On the bright side, the exhaust looks and fits great.
