Nice. Lucky! So then technically it's not illegal

It can't be illegal if they don't check for it.

I am getting over the fact that I may just run my car without cats (yes illegal), but more power.

Good question about the rasp. We have some tricks up our sleeve to combat that if t becomes an issue. I will not know though until they are completed.

Whats up with that exhaust???

Sent you a PM, will see what happens in the next few weeks of course.

Fair enough, just let us know when you post up spy photos

I have faith in you Tony that this setup will magically somehow someway not be raspy

Let's keep that sexy FI tone :JAMIN:

I am not an expert but I think I might have the 'secret' to the rasp...

First things first...the LTH might resolve it all together because I am sure its going to change the resonance completely because of where the pulses meet etc etc...So they might cure it with that alone.

Second...On almost all G/Z's (including mine) the rasp is at its loudest in the 2-4k range, and can sound different depending if your test/hfc/res test...But one thing that seems to be certain is WHERE the rasp sounds off in the exhaust piping. The location seems to be right BEFORE the X/H/Y location in the exhaust. On mine, you can almost FEEL the sound pinging off the pipes in that area...(before the GTM res test pipes, its no where near as loud anymore)

So - from what I can tell, only one company got it right so far and its that redesigned invidia exhaust where they got those huge resonators in that exact location! Coincedence? I dont know...

I havent really heard anyone with full test pipes + FI exhaust so I cant comment on how much rasp (if any) they are actually experiencing. But I think (hope) the LTH might just cure it complete or throw it off further into the exhaust where FI's current resonators can distrupt it in that area...

Either way - I'm very close to just going with a full FI setup once I see those LTHs!!!

I know it'll change with LTH's, but, how it will change is up for question.

That said, I don't notice ANY rasp. I do hear a lot of low-frequency resonance in the 1.7-2.5K RPM range, but I think that's more of a matter of the natural resonance of the cabin of the car, than anything else.

The second time I drove around with it, it wasn't as pronounced as I remembered.

I also went around to all the speed bumps that I know to see if I hear a "CLUNK" - so far so good! :0

G37Sam · 11-20-2009, 04:57 PM

I agree with you in the low rpms it was more of a natural resonance inside the cabin.. but i've heard quite a few vids on the VQ35s with Long Tubes (not on FI of course, I have faith in those) and their setup was somewhat raspy, maybe it's the catback :dunno:

Exactly - when I switched from full test pipe to res test pipes mine quieted down alot and I only get that brief resonance/rasp in the 1.8-2.4k range...

G37Sam · 11-20-2009, 05:13 PM

Yeah I saw a night & day difference when I custom resonated my test pipes locally

Zsteve · 11-20-2009, 05:17 PM

so will the LTH have resonators too? And what is the difference between LTH and STH with resonated test pipes? From FIs graphs I only saw about a 4 hp gain with the test pipes over the HFCs.

G37Sam · 11-20-2009, 05:47 PM

The long tubes have no room for resonators in them that's the thing

Tony is saying he has a few tricks, so we're all holding our panties and waiting haha

Zsteve · 11-20-2009, 08:26 PM

Getting mine installed tomorrow morning, cant wait. Everything came in fine Tony no damages, thanks.

That is what I like to hear. I just finished installing one on a Nismo 370. I have to say, with that body kit the exhaust looks insane! Keep me posted and do not hesitate to ask if you need anything...

Thanks, Tony
