Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

Huck · 04-03-2012, 12:59 PM

There's a guy in the south Florida Z club that did a 09+ nismo S-tune exhaust with a certain brand hfc and the injen cai's, and after uprev (done by Gus at hp logic) he hit like 305hp and 304tq. Not the exact numbers, but I remember that they were almost equal, within 5 of each other, and his numbers were just over 300hp and tq. From what Gus said, he somehow found that magic combination that was the perfect balance of back pressure/ free flow. He could probably explain this a lot better than me since I was hearing it second hand from the owner of the Z. But this isn't the first I've heard of numbers like these.

I just received my FI CBE and HFC's (#473). Came in two separate boxes, so well wrapped up in bubble wrap and cardboard that they were virtually damage proof. The Polishing of the cans are amazing, and the tips are Gorgeous. Installation is this evening - I'll post pics and commentary afterwards.

Thank You Tony and the Guys on a Magnificent Product!

Just got my non-res cbe yesterday, non-res test pipes come in today and i will be installing tommorrow along with nst pulley kit. Can't wait to see the results with the uprev dyno next wk.

Ok guys, I uploaded my pics showing how the system was received in its packaging to final installation. The Demon Bolt on the driver's side lived up to its name. No Cheater Bar or Impact Wrench could budge it more than a couple of threads and then it just seized up solid on us. Two hours later after we pretty much stripped out the head trying conventional methods, I had to run out to a nearby auto parts place and purchase a $30 Bolt Extractor set. The bolt gave up after that and the installation proceeded without a hitch...

Sounds about right... except I would HIGHLY recommend a set of Bolt Extractors right from the start... that bolt had no chance once the extractor bit into it.

It turned ...

Heh... don't feel too bad - it took us 2.5 hours almost ourselves before we thought of it! So, for all you newbies out there about to embark on this mission - take heed!

The system has finally settled in tone and the computer seems to have adjusted itself to the increased air flow. The exhaust tone now has become pretty consistent - low rumble at idle and a nice growl at acceleration. No drone, no audible hiss, no rattles, and perfect looks. The car seems to be much more responsive to throttle, as well as very "relaxed" on shifting gears - not sure how to describe this except that I think the engine's response to gear changes is not as "jerky"..? does this make sense...?... and of course, there is a whole lot more power available now after driving it for approx 250 miles since I installed the system.

I think I'm there with my setup... and I LOVE IT!
