Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

speedfreek · 04-26-2012, 03:27 PM

Hey Speedy...seems I keep bumping into you on varioius forums. You had a lot of great info on the 1000RR that I used many times. But back on topic if you can find the email Tony sent you with the invoice when you ordered it will have all the details and P.O. No. which references your build #. I am #541 with expected delivery sometime in July. I too can't wait to finally give the Z it's balls back. Nissan should be ashamed of themselves for such a terrible exhaust note on such a beautiful sports car.

can any one explain why that is? At first I imagined it was just the time to get the oil circulating.. but it almost seems like a valve is open of some sort.. then closes?

I love that open throat-ed sound! I can only imagine what its like with LTH, HFC's, and F. I. CBE!

Thanks ZMan8.. just to clarify.. I understand what cold start refers too.. not temp, but engine state at start... I was asking specifically if any one knew where the shift in sound after 30 secs of cold start occurred.. like a valve closing or something.. with carb'd vehicle, the plate would close... with our cars..its something else..just a exhaust note change from an open throat ed sound, to muted after 30 secs..

Look closely, the car opens throttle partially and revs higher for a little. On cold start I've seen 1400 rpm for 10 seconds before it drops to the 700 rpm idle slowly. The open throttle is what creates the exhaust note. Additionally the cold pipes probably amplify the noise slightly more than warmed up ones.

I'm confused. I thought that the FI catback was making upwards of 20 WHP by itself. This is only showing 12.5 HP with the catback and headers...

Gains are not cumulative. This car already had CAI on it which I see people claiming 10-15 on. If the catback was the only thing done you'd like see 15-20, but since other things were done each mod doesn't make as big of a difference as if it were by itself.

It's diminishing returns and all that.

It does comparing it to (bone stock). However when the baseline was performed the car (already) had an NST underdrive pulley and AEM long tube intakes. The car made slightly over 300 RWH for the baseline. In completely stock form these cars will see around 278-284 RWH.

You cannot compound bolt ons. They will only compliment each other. For example, If cats pick up 15 alone and a CBE picks up 15-20 alone, combined they will see about 25 RWH. It is not as simple as 2+2 when we are talking about breathing mods. in N/A form.

Thanks, Tony

That's when it's a good idea to get a tune to get back those ponies that weren't gained with multiple bolt-ons. Fast Intentions makes GREAT POWER on all their products, I would know first hand.

That all makes sense, and I experienced the same thing with my M3, but I wonder if a tune couldn't pull some more out of it given all the mods. Everything looks great. Love those 100 cell cats.
