I just received my FI CBE and HFC's (#473). Came in two separate boxes, so well wrapped up in bubble wrap and cardboard that they were virtually damage proof. The Polishing of the cans are amazing, and the tips are Gorgeous. Installation is this evening - I'll post pics and commentary afterwards.

Thank You Tony and the Guys on a Magnificent Product! :tiphat:

Looks like Tony is still on schedule for my #500 to arrive the first week of May!

Woohoo! Come on 3"............

Mine arrives tomorrow.... Its like Christmas morning!

Got my LTH, 12" res. and CBE installed. :) It was pretty much straight forward to do. The left side stock header heat shield is a PITA to remove. :mad: The only problem I have is my steering wheel is pointed to the left and my TC light is on. I talked to Tony about this. The thing with my Z is the the steering shaft is indexed for only one position. I can't move one tooth to line things back up. I've been fighting with this for a week now.

Overall, it's worth it. :tup: On a cold start. It sounds like a beast that needs unleashed. :eek: Once warm, running up through the gears to red-line. It's pure music. :driving: Everything out of it sounds exotic. :tup: I do have a drone at 2000 to 2500 rpm. That's if I'm lugging the motor. A quick down shift and it's gone.

Thanks Tony! :tiphat:

Nice man!! post up some drive by videos!

:tup: looks great!

That looks great!!! Enjoy:driving:

I got my FI catback used, but i needed a few things gaskets etc. so i pm'ed Tony. Even though i didn't buy it from him, he's customer service CAN NOT be beat. He got the things i needed together fast, treated me like i was spending thousands and welcomed me to the family. All other businesses should take note from him. I only wish i had the money to order some of his resonated HFC's now, but soon enough i will be calling him again.

Thanks Tony :tiphat:

I just had my Resonated FI HFC and 18" Resonated FI CBE installed on my Z last night with the most valuable help of TypeOne and Windex! The system sounds AWESOME. Low rumble that shakes your core, but is not annoying or droning - No Rasp Whatsoever, No Check Engine Light, hiss at deceleration barely audible or noticeable at all - I had to listen real hard to make it out. At speeds, the system has a nice low rumble, but when you get on it, it growls like a lion and makes itself known. When I pulled up to the house last night at almost midnight, I reversed into the driveway, but before I could get out and open the garage door, my GF heard my rumble and opened up the garage door for me - she said the house was shaking.... LOL!! Took her out for a spin this morning and at highway speeds at constant throttle, there was barely a whisper of drone - When downshifting, the SynchroRev causes a louder deep rumble as the engine's RPM is bumped. All in all, it's like having my cake and eating it too. Beautiful sounding exhaust system, without the annoying drone or rasp. My Money was VERY well spent. I made the right decisions with the help of Tony and FI without a doubt. Below are some pictures from when I received the system and the final install - notice the almost damage proof shipping wrappings (pic of HFC's Box). The second pic is of the Resonated HFC's (the Resonators are embossed with "FAST INTENTIONS" just like the tips) and the third is of the mirror-like polish of the Cans... simply amazing. I'll have a link to the picture thread as soon as I upload the pics from the camera.


ALL IN ALL, I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE AND PRODUCT!!! The wait is SO well worth this system.

Looks good paul, i can't wait to hear the Res HFC's....

To all, what is a good polish or what can be used to polish/seal all the pretty shine on the tips, mufflers.

if i barely drive the Z for a few days i just wipe em down with a rag and ZEP window cleaner. it shines em up and takes the dust off.

if i drive alot and theres exhaust deposits on the tips i hit it with a degreaser-like product i use on my wheels to break ti up then after a chrome polish/wax to get the rest off and shine them.

Looks great can't wait to hear it in person, I'll be ordering mine soon.

Just got my non-res cbe yesterday, non-res test pipes come in today and i will be installing tommorrow along with nst pulley kit. Can't wait to see the results with the uprev dyno next wk.

Ok guys, I uploaded my pics showing how the system was received in its packaging to final installation. The Demon Bolt on the driver's side lived up to its name. No Cheater Bar or Impact Wrench could budge it more than a couple of threads and then it just seized up solid on us. Two hours later after we pretty much stripped out the head trying conventional methods, I had to run out to a nearby auto parts place and purchase a $30 Bolt Extractor set. The bolt gave up after that and the installation proceeded without a hitch... :happydance: :driving: :tup:
