I all depends how much driving you do. Mine took a couple of weeks to tone down a little, I only put in 10 miles a day and it rest on the weekends. lol

It takes a couple hundred miles for the mufflers to really burn in and settle down.

As far as the paint goes, I don't think it will make any noticeable difference in sound... just make sure you sand the metal down real good so that the paint doesn't flake off!

It's pretty simple... just have a buddy hold the X pipe level, then tighten all the bolts down. That should ensure a good fit... granted it shouldn't really be an issue at all. I did the install myself and don't have any fitment issues.

:iagree:

Tony -- would you say that the F.I. RHFC sound similar to the F.I. RTP?

They will not be as deep as the resonated test pipes. I have yet to hear the resonated high flow cats in person. I have shipped every set out. But I am confident that they will sound like high flow cats, just a little bit more tame...

Tony

The mufflers will tone down a bit. It takes time for them to settle in. The evap cover you removed from the passenger side DOES NOT go back on the car...

Tony:driving:

get my pm tony. last payment for the exhaust.

Whats the update on order # 118? =]

I have installed probably 30+ systems at my shop and every one has left aligned. It is real simple, hold a level on the back of the X Pipe under the rear 3 bolt flanges. Hold it level while a second person tighten downs the exhaust system starting from the front to the back. Then install the rear 2 mufflers sections. When all of the hardware is in they will still have some rotation to them. This is what makes the cans go up and down. As the can rotate inward, it will go up. As the can gets rotated out, it will go down. Once you get the bottom front of the cans level, then shim the tip down if you have to. Most of the time we do not have to add washers to bring a tip down. All of this is in the installation instructions that I send with the CBE...

Tony

I am shooting to have:

115
116
117
118
119
120

Either installed or shipped by next Friday!

Little bump, anyone got the blue with CF???

Tony,

Did you get my PM?

Thanks Tony.

Tony can you give me a rough ETA?

Tony,

Sorry for bothering you but do you think #124 would make it out by May 7th? I'm going to set up my appointment early next week for the following weekend when the exhaust ships. Also, I need to use some PTO so I can be home when my exhaust ships to my place.

tony i sent you an email for an order of CB and TP ... people are listening to the car and asking me to order..plz reply soon

Woodfolk1959 #154, Posey075 #155 & Semtex #156,

Thank you all for your orders!

Thanks Tony. I'm looking forward to doing an LTH w/ Stillen CBE vs. LTH w/ F.I. CBE review! :woot:

Welcome to the fi side Semtex :)

:happydance:

Sweet...looking forward to the comparison! What did you end up going with? No-res, 12-res, 18-res

12 res w/ CF mufflers

Yep, correct. :tup:

got mine today. I'll be installing them in about 45 minutes!!!

That's awesome man!!:tup:

Sweet!

possible to get the exhaust by friday? lol =]

Most likely not, but it should be in the mail this Friday.

I will put an updated list right below this...

Thanks, Tony

ooh, it sure is getting close now

Oh man, I hope you guys can keep up the pace of doing 7 per week! I'm getting antsy over here.

Man... FI Exhaust orders really leveled out after the holidays (guess everyone was spent) but come tax time they have spiked once again! :D

We got it installed last night, just jacked it up and installed everything right in my garage. Install went pretty smooth, we were going at a moderate pace to make sure everything was installed correctly and tight. I can not believe how perfect everything lined up! no adjustments had to be made... Fits like a glove. The CF cans blend in perfect on a black car, it looks so stealth.

I got 18" resonators and CF cans. first start up and wow this thing is loud! I can't wait to see how the tone changes once it settles in. I also already installed the FI HFC and the cat back opened up the car even more than i thought after the HFC.

Thanks Tony!

Nice! :pics:

I'm planning to get this, and I think I might like the CF more than the SS look. Have you taken any pics yet, because the more I see it, the more I want it! lol

Time for some pictures!!!!! My exhaust install date is Saturday :happydance: HFC's next week after my tattoo...want that more haha I love being a female nerd..with a nice ride ;)

^Congrats Sophia :) way to be a kickass human being!

kickass human being > kickass gopher

My car is black and the CF cans look awesome. I was kind of on the fence about them. After i got them unwrapped I still felt the same way, but after I installed them I know I made the right choice. All I wanted to do today after work was take the car for a drive and snap some pictures... it started raining on my way home from work :( Once it drys up outside i'll snap some pictures.

LoL I feel ya on the driving bit. Only reason why I'm not 100% CF is Tony said since I wanted to go with the headers as well, that it might be REALLY loud. That the SS cans might help bring the noise back down... but I dunno.
