Tony,

Got your exhaust installed on my GTM Stage 1 SC 370, paired with your test pipes last month. Just wanted to thank you for all of your help and tell you that the car sounds and looks awesome. One of my friends (with a very nice 240 SX) followed me on the highway and said he thinks my exhaust looks like it is worth more that his entire car. He could not believe how reasonably priced it was and how incredible it looks. IMO, it is hands down, the coolest system available. I love it.

Matt.

I sent you a PM and I have a quick question, but answer at your leisure as I am not in a hurry. Anyone else can feel free to provide feedback as well.

Has anyone done an HFC without the material inside? I have heard of folks hollowing out stock CATs for inspection purposes, so this has been on my mind for a while. Alternatively, can an HFC withstand the EGT associated with TT/SC applications?

I don't know of anyone doing that (that's posted on here) I'm not sure if thats a service FI could do to their own cats, or if you'd have to take them to a shop later on to core out like that.

If you're looking for looks alone, and not smog testing, you might want to look into FI's Resonated Test Pipes, they'll have a chamber in them just like HFC's will, you could "claim" they are HFC's.

FI HFC:



FI RTP:



Unless someone has seriously done their research, I doubt they'll be able to visually notice a difference.

As for HFC's and TT/SC applications, I believe they do hold up, but you need to find out what type of core they are as there are 2, Metallic, and Ceramic cores. IIRC Metallic cores will eventually rust out/fail so make sure you're using a Ceramic core.

Anyone else heard otherwise? Do I have them switched?

Keep us posted on the tune you are getting. I'm thinking of going to the same place for a tune at some point.

You won't be disappointed. The F.I. TDX is awesome. It really wakes the Z up, as well as making it sound like a sports car like it should.........

Tony!!

This review is waaaaaay overdue, between vacation, new job and hocking the Nismo, I have been extremely BUSY.

I have put roughly 350-400 miles on my FI 18" SS CBE, the wait is more than worth it. If you are looking for an intoxicating sounding and sexy looking exhaust this is it hands down!! Look no further, the tone is simply and purely gorgeous, I get an Eargasm just thinking about it.

I found myself going out in the wee hours of the night many times to hear my baby sing to me. Quality, fit and finish are immaculate, did I mention the sound? Oh and by the way, as an added benefit, your car is faster!!!

Tony, when are you going to start making exhausts for the GT-R?!!!!!

I'll try to remember to bring my camera. Wonder if it'll be weird for Tony and his crew if I am snapping shots with my dslr while they work, haha.
