Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

Maybe I gotta hear the hiss for myself.... around how much $$$ to get the FI installed?

I haven't heard any hiss yet, it just sounds F$#king gnarly and mean and when you get back fire/exhaust gargle when letting off its beautiful!

Today it felt more powerful too

No, the hissing comes from the X pipe I believe, Tony correct me if I'm wrong?? It's the backpressure evening out.

Let's you know there's power there. Plus it almost sounds like a BOV venting. Makes the boosted guys do a doubletake. To me it sounds like a pissed off cobra ready to strike.

If you do it yourself, which is certainly possible... Free, at tony's shop, it can be installed as well at a discount. Or most shops will charge you 1-2 hours for labor, whatever their rate is.

That gargle is the 'FI Hiss' they're referring to.

Any feedback on road clearance of the muffler cans?

Looking at the pic it seems lower than stock pipes.

Tony told me the new design that they've been using for a few months now is a little bit higher than the older ones. Not sure what the clearance is though. I will get mine installed in a week or 2 but I'm at stock height so it doesn't worry me much.

Yeah, it hangs lower. Check out the end of the first post on this thread. It has a picture measuring the clearance on a lowered Z.

For what it's worth, I have not had any clearance issues with it, but my Z is not lowered either.

The new design hangs a bit higher than the old one, but I've had mine on for over a year now (old design) and I'm lowered 1" all around and have never once scraped. Careful and correct approaches will save you.

My exact though, I don't want to think about correct approaches if it's not lowered, sometimes I drive rough without thinking about terrain.

Good to know that old one was 4" lowered, and new one should be higher.

Thanks
