we'll I believe my Type R catches heat more...
I get pulled over all the time, but I play the smart way...
grab someone to remove the heat shield from the oem cat...
weld it on to the Test Pipes... bam! you're done...
this is what I do.. and trust me I get pulled over more than once in a week.

I did just that with my old Mustang... welded gutted cats around my off-road X-pipe. I've grown up a little since then. :)

This is my DD... I'm running cats.

I think it has to do more with your face than your car...

:tup: "Hi there pretty lady"

NEW You TUbe Vid of the Fast Intentions CBE with 18" on a Resonators in Carbon Fiber
 

YouTube - 370Z Fast Intentions Exhaust

Sounds awesome !!!!

Its on a 7AT with bolt ons

Heh, you beat me to posting my own youtube link. Do you seriously scan for 370Zs on youtube all day long or something?? :p

Journal Thread - FI Catback Video

volume wise, what is it like compared to the stillen? i dont want to loose any volume, but dont want to get it too much louder.

Well it's hard for me to tell how much louder or softer it is from outside the car, since I'm always in the driver's seat. Inside the car, even with the 18" resonators it's louder and rumblier than the Stillen setup was when idling and when driving at low RPMs, but slightly quieter (but more exotic sounding) at higher RPMs.

That sounds great!

:owned:

I've got a 7AT and I'm also getting the F.I. exhaust with 18" resonators, but without the CF mufflers and with HFCs. Do you also have HFCs? Do you notice much of a difference in pick up?

The car in that vid has HFCs and Headers.

Anyways, I called Tony using the Bluetooth in my Z and added HFCs to my order. :D

I'm torn between the CF and SS mufflers. What do you guys think about either option on a pearl white Z? Personally, I feel that CF is mostly for aesthetics since they're only a 6lb. weight reduction, but how well can they really be seen in the dark shadow of the car's undercarriage? :confused:

Ugh... as if I couldnt :drool: 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...

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. :)
