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.

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.

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.

Installed it tonight with some buddies. It sounds phenomenal. Will update tomorrow


Edit: So I went for a drive tonight after doing the hot/cold cycles. I took it very easy, and plan too for a good while. I am not sure how long I need to be easy on it, so if anyone knows, please shed some light.

To begin with, Tony has been awesome in the service department. He has called me multiple times, and I have called him a bunch also and he has always been there to answer.

The exhaust looks AMAZING. Even though when we finished the install it was at night and hard to see, it still looked amazing.

It sounds even better. I smile every single time I start it up. I hope it doesn't get any quieter, cause its perfect right now.

The install was very easy, however the hard part was UNinstalling the old exhaust. Even after soaking the bolts with penetrating oil, there were still PITA to get out. We had to literally drill through one of the nuts, because we accidentally stripped it. But after we got it uninstalled, the 4 of us got it reinstalled in about an hour and 10 minutes. Everything came out perfect. The right side tip sits a tad bit higher than the left, so I am going to do as the instructions recommends and take a washer and shim the hanger on that side so that it is level with the other side...no big deal. I am COMPLETELY happy with how everything turned out, and it was the best 4 months of waiting in my life...now its time for some new tires :)

Woohoo! Got my tracking number today. It is scheduled to be delivered next Monday, and I just happen to have that day off. I'll be sitting by the door anxiously waiting. Hell, I'll probably have my car on jack stands with the old exhaust off already.

what order number were you?

367

Order number 403 for me!

:eek: Already over 400?!!? Good lord I remember when I wanted to be ceremonious #200... :rofl2:

congrats to tony for breaking 400. glad there are some posters who are after me, haha. #398 here

I know, I need to post an update soon. We are so busy building away that time is very hard to come by!

We are currently shipped to just about 370. Give or take a few.

For all 403 of you, thank you for your business, it is appreciated more than you will ever know.

Thanks, Tony

mark me down as installed for the CBE & LTH for your list

I ended up picking up a used FI cat back with 18" resonators. Gonna be replacing my ARK with this. I'm also running Motrordyne ART pipes. Can't wait to install it.

Did you get them from a forum member? I was got the resonated HFCs form a forum member who was also selling the CBE with 18" resonators, but someone else beat me to it on the CBE.

If it was from Art Vandelay, then yes. lol
