My wait time was 10 weeks to ship - I do believe it is very worth it.

Here is exactly how our ordering process works. This is a template that I have created and the only thing that changes is the lead time.

"When you place an order all I require is a $250 deposit. I do not charge the remaining balance until your exhaust is ready to ship. At the time the order is placed I create an actual invoice for you. Then I will email you a PDF copy of that invoice to keep on file. Now all of my exhaust systems are hand built custom right here in house. I do not keep anything in stock. I am very busy and as of right now I am 12-14 weeks out to ship your exhaust once the order is placed! This may possibly be an over estimate, but I would rather under promise & over deliver! Now the lead time does not start until the order is placed and the invoice is created. Once your exhaust is built and ships I will email you your tracking number. I know the lead time might seem like a pain but it goes quick. We take a great deal of pride in what we do! You will receive top notch customer service and quality. I also understand how far you are and how crucial it is to get he right parts the first time. I ensure you that there will be zero packaging mishaps and everything will be as you ordered it. I just hear horror stories about other companies shipping the wrong parts all of the time!

Now I understand that the lead time might really scare you away. Here is what I can promise you. If our system is truly the one you want, the wait is worth it! Please do not force yourself to settle for anything less due to a faster turnaround time.

I think that I have covered everything. If you have any more questions or would like to place an order, please do not hesitate to call me directly..."

Thank you, Tony

^ pmed u earlier today wanna order asap. need some help with deciding

Call Tony. He will need to talk with you.

w00t.. #502... so..Im gettin' closer! thanks for all you do, Tony

maybe some of u can help me. I asked Tony i plan on doing FI LTH also I want a deep loud exhaust. non resonated is out sounds too raspy and too much hissing. can't decide between 12" res or 18" res. maybe a few suggestions will help me out

The hissing is going to be there whether you have resonators or not. It's what happens when you take the cats off a VQ, so if you're not a fan of it, this might not have been the best powerplant to go with. :ugh2:


That being said, I have the headers with the 18" Res SS can CBE. I love the way it sounds. The headers affect the pitch ever so slightly without the overall volume. Makes it sound different [better :rolleyes: ] than just having HFC's or TP's. If you're looking for deep/loud, honestly the best deep/loud setup I've heard is the FI CBE with Berk HFC's. It sounds really good to me. :twocents:

have you heard FI LTH with FI 12" res CBE??

I don't believe so, the other Z I heard that had them had 18" Res and CF cans. :shakes head: I want CF cans. :yum:

haha great now even more to think about CF cans?????? haha

Indeed. :stirthepot:

Chris would there be a significant increase in HP if switching from Rest TP's to headers? OR is it just sound and or smell? Would you recommend it? Just curious.

Thanks,
Fern to the Z

From listening to multiple videos and a friend that has the 18's if you want some aggressive sound but pretty quiet unless really getting on it the 18's resonated seem good.

'Significant' I dunno, that would depend on what your definition is of 'significant'. In the FI LTH thread seen here: http://www.the370z.com/intake-exhaus...ders-here.html Tony dyno's the LTH's vs HFC's, not TP's.

You will still have the same smell as there are no cats in the way, but you will have a noticable difference in the sound/smoothness of the engine through the RPM band. That was one of my biggest :eeks: moments about it was revving was almost instant redline.

Here's the best video I can give you to show you what you can expect with a LTH setup:



I'll idle for a bit for a warm start, then rev to 2k, 3k, and then 5k rpms, then a standing start, VDC on. A rolling start and then a start heading toward the cam so you can hear how it sounds coming to the camera, very quiet in front of the car. :tup:

Then here's a 5th gear dyno video. Part one in front of tips, part 2 behind tips. Once it gets to part 2, you might wanna turn down the volume a bit as it 'screams' quite literally. :tup: The mic on my phone couldn't handle the volume. :icon17: Enjoy. :tiphat: (He cut me short at 6500rpms cause he didn't wanna take the rollers past 140mph. :mad:)

To all that have recently sent me pm's!

I will try to get to them all ASAP. Your patience is greatly appreciated. If anyone cannot wait and needs immediate assistance, please do not hesitate to call me at the number below.

We are open M-F 8 AM - 5:30 PM PST.

Thank you, Tony
