how many people get this exhaust without resonators? and is it that much louder that a resonator is recommended for daily driving. i searched and could find any video clips of non-resonated

Just a couple... :)

^thanks bro! i didnt see that one!

Tony, have you seen my PM? E-mail?

Hey Tony you have a PM for invoice update from a few days ago.

http://www.the370z.com/members/neveu...mper-right.jpg Right

It wasn't touching, but after a long drive it vibrated soo much that it was. Oh well I can live with it I guess.

I can't decide if I want this angled exhaust look or an after market exhaust that looks stock (ie: Berk, Stillen) ... what can help me?

I have seen you PM and please stay patient, I will try to get back to you in the next day or so. I have been out in the shop most of the week...

Thank you,

Tony

What do you mean it vibrated? The only way the exhaust system could vibrate and "touch" is if something is loose. When it is tightened down, it is very solid and rigid...

Tony

hangers good and tight? Im going to check mine and see if I can tell if they have rubbed. I did a 1600 mile trip with the FI CBE a couple months back.

Just checked no touching what so ever. Id check your hangers and all underneath again.

Your brain. :)

LMAO

Being a chef, this made me crack up... :icon18:

Will do, I'll take another look, and no worries Tony. I figured that was the reason. But too late to do anything about it now, I can live with it, not really visible unless I get down close to it. That's what I get for letting just anybody install it.

Hi! This past Monday I got my car back with the FI 18" exhaust and Injen intake system. My first impressions are:

1. The sound is real sexy!!!! I think I made the right choice going with the 18" and the oem HFC, more than this will be very loud for my taste!

2. Talking about hp, well the car of course is faster but in low rpms I felt the car a little slow in acceleration, above the 3.000rpms the car rea lly feels more alive. I think this slow acceleration in low rpms is because i need to tune the car to get a better A-F setting and send more gasoline to the engine. I really think I need to get something similar to the Cobb AccessPort to get the best performace with this new parts.

3. Is there any way to reset the Ecu, like the 350z procedures given by Technosquare ? or can only be unpluging the battery?:tup:

A updated Video of Mufflers after break in on warm startup, The bass sound went down a little but only at idle! it still sound awesome past idle

That right there is where the Z in pr0nz comes from...

OMG I wants. :drool: :yum:

Still the best soudning Z on the forum to date.

Tony,

I got the exhaust a week or two ago, had it installed today.... sounds great man, i love it, next on the list is the headers... eventually, i'll pm you when im able to get them. Thanks again Tony.

Great to hear!

Let me know if you need anything else...

Tony

Tony, Check your PM

Checking now!

How we lookin', Tony?!

Hey guys, i'm number 169 on the list. WooHoo! I'm trying to decide between the 12" and the 18". I want the exhaust to be much deeper and somewhat louder than the stock exhaust, yet i don't want it to be overwhelming in the cabin, but its hard to figure out the how much difference there is from stock to 18 and from 18 to 12. I wont be changing the headers or cats or intakes. Can anyone provide some input?

You are next in line. You should have a tracking number by mid week!

18" is for you.

Yeah! :happydance:

Raps: My requirements for an exhaust were about the same as yours. I got the 18"CFs, when I first installed them I thought even those might be too loud but after letting them break in for a week they have settled into a quieter, much more sporty sound, exactly what I was looking for.

mmm tony I guess that my exhaust will be done in about 2 weeks right?

Is everything else in your setup, besides the catback, stock? How much louder would you say the FI CB with 18" is than the stock setup?

18" CBE is DEFINITELY for you! It's much louder than the stock exhaust but not too loud.

I had the same concerns as you... I wanted louder than stock but didn't want too loud... the 18" is perfect. I can talk to a passenger without issue and I consistently talk to people at my office with the Bluetooth without any issue.

You won't regret it... the 18" resonators are for people like us. They fit the bill perfectly. :tup:

And like Dr. Awkward said, the exhaust is pretty loud when you first install it. After about a week of driving the muffler packing burns in and it settles down quite a bit, so don't be too alarmed by the volume at first.

This video makes the 18" sound extremely loud. Is it really this loud? My main concern is that it will overwhelm the Bose Audio system. I dont want the volume to get drowned out. I must admit this sounds wonderful outside. Will it stay this way?

It's very difficult to judge volume from a video. You really need to hear it in person. I think there are a couple people up in the NY/NJ area that have the FI CBE so maybe they'll be able to let you sample the exhaust.

I don't think it drowns out my stereo at all. Like I said, I am able to participate in conference calls using the Bluetooth in my Z and it is not a problem.

Docaam's video is pretty sweet, btw. This is my first time seeing it. "He thinks credit crunch is some sort of breakfast cereal" LMFAO!

On a scale of 1 to 10 or in terms of percentage, how much louder would you say the 18" is than the stock setup?

Music to my ears! :tup:

Haha... I can't put a number on it becuase it's been so long, but let's just say it's louder. Any CBE is going to be since the stock setup is so weak. I'd say the quietest CBE on the market is still going to be twice as loud as stock.

People need to remember that they have the option of not running the hfc, if the sound is a little loud for they're liking.

Funny how subjective this stuff is. Doccam's video makes it sound quiet to me, not loud.

What are you smoking? i want some too, Quiet.. :rolleyes:
I think you need a hearing exam :bowrofl:
