Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

G35guy84 · 09-03-2009, 08:38 PM

I'm torn between the CF and SS mufflers. What do you guys think about either option on a pearl white Z? Personally, I feel that CF is mostly for aesthetics since they're only a 6lb. weight reduction, but how well can they really be seen in the dark shadow of the car's undercarriage?

Ugh... as if I couldnt

anymore over this exhaust. I LOVE the way that sounds, I just wish I could find someone with the same setup you have, but 12" res's just for comparrison. But hell, as it stands right now, thats what it's looking to be for me. HFC's 18" Res' with the CF cannisters just cause I think it will look good with the Black Z, or anyone prefer the SS ones on a Black Z?

I think either CF or SS will look great regardless of color. It's definitely "cool" to have CF mufflers as well.

For me, it's all about durability. If for whatever reason you were to hit the canister on something the SS will bend whereas the CF could crack/shatter.

Very True... I just hate that even though things are SS, they still eventually start to rust in places... I really dont have the time/ weather here to lift the car every week to wipe it down...

Hey 6lbs is 6lbs, may as well do it. It's not much, but every little bit adds up. On a daily-driver street car, it's hard to find places to shed weight without compromising things you care about.

I went with the CF cans with my Black Z. Keep her dark and stealthy. Go CF.
