Just ordered a FI exhaust w/no Resonators and CF mufflers...Thanks again Tony!

Can't wait to get it!

Hi Tony,

Requesting update on my muffler replacements

Cheers.

Just ordered my FI, no resonators, with SS Mufflers! I cannot wait to get it; thanks again Tony for your help!

Got notification that mine has shipped today! ETA: MAY 3!!!

Installed and loving it!
 

Well, the FI CF CBE w/ FI ceramic coated LTH's are on the car. Wow. pulled up to the shop and our buddy had the car on the lift. It is was a beautiful sight. Fitment was spot on, equal amount of room betwn the tips and the bumper on both sides and it sat perfectly level. My only "complaint" would be that for the nismo, with the bigger bumper, that the tips protrude about two inches farther out, but from behind, it looks perfect. In fact, it's actually more subtle looking than the stock nismo exhaust with the large muffler since the CF "disapears into the car when viewed, especially when the car is moving. Followed my wife home in our Xterra so I could see and hear the car.

Speaking of sound, we got the unresonated xpipe and combined w/the headers and the CF mufflers, this is the lightest and also the loudest combo. It's very loud at startup, that diminishes in about 30 sec or so when the revs come down and at idle, def has that "muscle car" vibe to it. Wifey said she never went above 3500 rpms (was under 3K most of the time) and i could hear it being the car directly behind her with the windows up and my oem rockford fosgate system blasting metallica and slayer lol. It sounds very aggressive, but not ricey, but this setup is def not for the faint of heart.

Fit and finish get a 10/10
Sound gets a 9/10
Performance gets a TBD (will be dynoing the car in a couple weeks once we get a few 100 miles on the new setup to allow the ecu to compensate)

Satisfaction gets a 9.5/10

Couldn't be happier with this exhaust setup. Thanks again Tony for bearing with me wiht all my questions etc.

PS--tony, now you need to make a good quality CBE for the 2nd gen Xterra man. :tup:

finally got a better vid up of the drag at zolder.

better sound too

f i exhust
 

well got my exhust and hfc's installed. i'm a very happy camper. sound is awsome. looks great. now a tune to get the most out of it . thanks Tony and all the people at F I

Well it was bound to happen, took a speed bump too fast and finally scratched one of the mufflers... doesn't look too bad and hopefully I can buff it out but still pretty depressing :mad:

How far are you lowered?

About 1.25" in the front and 1" in the rear. Lowest part of the exhaust sits 3" from the ground. The funny thing is i didn't scrape that part but the passenger side muffler towards the top near the tips. That would be consistent with going over the speed bump fast but at the time I didn't really hear anything... oh well.

So my exhaust is sitting in my garage right now waiting to be installed. I am wanting to install it myself but I do not have access to a lift. What is the best way to get the car off the ground for good clearance so I can do the install? Get some ramps and jack the other end of the car up?

I really wanted to lower my car an inch after I get my exhaust, but now im scared. Why does the wheel gap have to be so bad? LMAO.

Back it up onto some Blitz ramps.

Recieved notice that my exhaust is shipping and will be here May 4th!! installed my HPS tubes and drop in K&N filters yesterday now just waiting for the exhaust to get here. After that straight to have the clear bra installed. havent driven her in over a month, waiting to install everything at once.

I shot a pretty long video this weekend to show how the G3/HFC/FI combination sounds at WOT and in everyday mixed city and highway driving. I looked forever to find videos that not only showed how the car sounded at WOT, but also in regular driving before I bought my FI but couldn't find much so hopefully this helps someone!
