Is there even an "exhaust" there? Sounds about like what you'd hear with the cats removed, and nothing else hooked up - lol...

Are you for real? Tell you what -- do a search on "saclam." There are already two separate threads on the SACLAM exhaust on this forum.

I was being sarcastic...

Looks and sounds amazing. Count me in for this.

Not my cup of tea, gorgeous piece of work though!

I am definitely in for this as well. Group buy ?? Special Pricing?? I NEED MORE INFORMATION!!!!1one!!

I'm really surprised at how many people are ready to jump in before seeing dyno numbers. Don't you guys care about gains? Or is it all about the sound? I'm sure the gains will be fine, mind you. But still, do you guys think of exhausts primarily as an aesthetic enhancement? Different strokes, I guess.

No, you are actually making a good point. But, one thing that I ask you to keep in consideration is the fact that we (Fast Intentions) have been in the Z community for almost 10 years. We have made a very large push dating back to the Z32.

In addition, this engine the VQHR has been out since 2007 in the 350Z. We have sold hundreds of units for that as well as the G37!

It will make the power, no doubt in my mind, but for an N/A car that is not the most important factor for some people!

In comparison to a turbo or supercharged car, the gains will be minimal. People know that going in to it so they focus to aesthetics, sound and cost.

However, this exhaust system is designed to maximize every aspect of the game for them starting with torque and power...

Thanks, Tony

I caught you off guard with the automatic transmission

I wanted the 6MT, but they only had automatics, and they'd give me an automatic for invoice, where if I had a 6MT brought in, it'd cost me $1000 more (that's after haggling...)

I test drove it, and figured what the heck, less to worry about. It's a very stiff feeling automatic...especially in sport mode...

I said it in a previous post and I'll say it again: I will gladly give up some gains if the sound is that much better.

There's no point in getting the exhaust with the best gains on a street car if you don't like the way it sounds.

So if this only makes 10 rwhp and the Still makes 18 rwhp, but I like the sound of this one better... I'll buy this one. If this were a track only car... different story. But it's my DD and I want it to sound the way I want it to sound!

Gains can be had in other ways besides dyno numbers.

Would love to hear this exhaust with Berk HFC's and the 18" resonators option.

Or FI's HFC's...

Sonic370Z · 07-06-2009, 04:31 PM

I considered the 18" res but I'm affraid that should I remove the HFC's for whatever reason down the road I'll wish I had the 12" one with the stock cats.

Tony, when you recommended the 18" with HFC, do you feel like there would be a HUGE difference between the two (compared to 12")? Is it a matter of pitch/tone/volume or would it reduce rasp?

Also, as I said I'm ready to purchase today and would be more than happy to pair the combo and record video, write a review, etc. If you would like, PM me a price shipped to 40509.

When do you approximate the initial sales will be built/shipped? (if I were to pay you now)

The FI exhaust on my sedan uses "only" 2.25 pipes and already gets 9 WHp averaged over 3 pulls each. The pipes were changed with the car on the dyno so the pulls are good. Still works great with forced induction as well.

You guys will definitely get good before/after power comparisons.
