For those of you who've done the install at home (without a lift), how easy is the entire process? Or if you know of a good build journal that documents it, i'd appreciate a link to it. Thanks!

Just got done installing my FI CBE SS w/ 18".. what can i say? I love it!!!! installation took me 1 hr 20 including removing the stock one. WOW Tony and Fast Intentions, you guys are awesome, the product is so perfect, everyone at the shop was like "wow that looks good" or "who makes that" or " thats sounds awesome"...... so on and so on... nothing but good things. Thanks again Tony!!!!!!!!

Exhaust sounds Sooooooo DEEP!!! I love it, and it is only loud when I open it up and not when I'm cruising which is what I was worried about.

Two questions though. 1) when i got home i realized that the right muffler is sticking in more than the drivers side one did any else have this issue?
2) should i reset the ECU (disc the battery for 5 min)?

1. If you have any left over gaskets for the rear muffler section, try adding them to the left muffler tip to bring it out a little bit more. If you need more, Tony has no problem shipping you some. :tup: With having a 100% in house fabricated exhaust, its hard sometimes to get everything to match up exactly.

2. Yes, absolutely. Disconnect and let sit for a minute or two. Then reconnect, crank and let it sit and idle for about 15 minutes. That will let the ECU relearn the new flow. Then take it out for a good 15-30 minutes of careful driving. No funny business. Then after that you can take it for some hard pulls. :tiphat:

Finally pulled the trigger!!! FI CBE SS w/ 18" You will be mine soon enough!!!
Tony is such a helpful guy! With all the positive feedback I had to get one! The Nismo exhaust just wasn't cuttin it!

Ya Tony is awesome, he doesn't mind answering my question every time I call him. :bowrofl:

We appreciate your business. Glad to have you on our side!

Call me if you have any questions. If we don't talk I will see you on your install date...

Thanks, Tony

Its not bad, just take your time. I lifted the rear of the car and did the install that way. It makes the cat bolts a little difficult to get to but it's doable.

Tried to have a little fun tonight and finally get the exhaust on vid but got cut short by security :shakes head:

:rofl2: Yeah, that will happen if you do it in an enclosed public space... :icon17:

so i was gone on vacation for a week. what number are we up to now for people who have had theirs shipped?

We have shipped up to #388 and sold up to #417.

It took me about 3 and a half hours by myself but could have been easily done in and hour and a half. I jacked up the rear. Just about every other time i crawled under my car I forgot the correct wrench or forgot to bring the bolts or something stupid.

Just read the directions, prepared with the right tools and take your time.

Having a seconds person would have helped a lot. Especially to hand your tools when your under the car.

Nice, won't be long now for #398

sooo is it bad if someone was to install the exhaust, reset the ECU, then not be very careful for the first 15-30 minutes? lol :driving:

It's not 'bad'... but just helps with the learning curve lol.

It's kinda like saying to a 3rd grader, okay, score a 1600 on your SAT or we'll cut your legs off... :ugh2:
