Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

XwChriswX · 09-03-2009, 09:20 PM

Ugh... as if I couldnt

anymore over this exhaust. I LOVE the way that sounds, I just wish I could find someone with the same setup you have, but 12" res's just for comparrison. But hell, as it stands right now, thats what it's looking to be for me. HFC's 18" Res' with the CF cannisters just cause I think it will look good with the Black Z, or anyone prefer the SS ones on a Black Z?

I think either CF or SS will look great regardless of color. It's definitely "cool" to have CF mufflers as well.

For me, it's all about durability. If for whatever reason you were to hit the canister on something the SS will bend whereas the CF could crack/shatter.

Very True... I just hate that even though things are SS, they still eventually start to rust in places... I really dont have the time/ weather here to lift the car every week to wipe it down...

Hey 6lbs is 6lbs, may as well do it. It's not much, but every little bit adds up. On a daily-driver street car, it's hard to find places to shed weight without compromising things you care about.

I went with the CF cans with my Black Z. Keep her dark and stealthy. Go CF.

Do you have pics???? thats what I'm waiting for myself...

m4a1mustang · 09-03-2009, 09:55 PM

I wouldn't be worried about rust at all. It shouldn't be too hard to crawl under there and clean/polish the canisters once every couple of weeks.

XwChriswX · 09-03-2009, 09:57 PM

In temperate climates sure... but when people say 'Hey guys, its 105* out so get your sweaters"... not joking, yeeeeah lol. Buffing SS isn't my type of pasttime lol

Great Video and write up again wstar. Thanks for taking the time in doing it all mate. I really cant wait to get mine and I'm sure Aus370 is real happy now that an Auto Video has been posted.

Hhmm

CF. A quick ? for Tony, having not seeing this in the flesh as of yet, would it be possible to replace the CF part if it got cracked real badly at all.

m4a1mustang · 09-03-2009, 11:40 PM

I know I'm not Tony, but my guess is if the CF cracked it'd be most cost-effective to replace the entire muffler. You'd probably have to buy one from Tony and then have it welded in place of the cracked one.
