Got mine today! Installed it tonight and it's perfect. 18" Resonators with ERZ HFC's and it sounds awesome! Matter of fact, I could have even gone with the 12"! But then again I went from having the Meisterschaft to the FI....

Only issue so far is the tips are not aligned even. Left side is lower than right. What are you all doing to fix this issue???

EDIT: added 3 small washers to each bolt on the right side which was sitting higher. Now it's even.

I've heard customers had this issue many times...and I know its easy to fix. but I'm just wondering why FI keep building exhaust that has the problem.. is it hard to build exhaust without the problem @ first place?

ProfessorDave

You must really like a LOUD exhaust!

Shim the muffler hanger (all three bolt, where the hanger attaches to the undercarriage) with washers on the high side.

I can't complain about tip alignment - mine were perfect, no shimming. And from what I've read tip misalignment is far more common on other brands.

Tony, where are you?

I'm really afraid now...

ProfessorDave

As a recent installer, I can tell you THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! Even if you have to shim, it is very easy. You can get to the muffler hangers easily without lifting the car. A ratchet, extension, and 12mm socket and some 1/4" (or maybe 3/8") washers, and you're done.

Hi,

here a small review after installing my exhaust:

My configuration:
- TDX cat back exhaust system (polished stainless steel, 18" resonated)
- High flow cats (non polished, non resonated)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++
1. Sound / Performance

The most important thing first :-) It sounds absoluty perfect for me!!!
DEEEEP ROAAWWW in low RPM's and changes his tone in higher RPM's to a
nice racy note. Very aggressive sound without annoying drone just how I
imagined. There is some hissing if you let off the pedal and in the first
moments it's a little bit weird but after some days I liked it very much.
From outside the car you don't notice that very much. The configuration with
the 18'' resonators is very nice, not to loud and not to quiet, perfect for
my ears and taste without the feeling of ghetto tuning.

Regarding the performance:
That didn't play a major role for me, but I don't say no to some gains.
What I noticed surely was that I have to spend more money for fuel, because
I always want to here the exhaust roar, hehe.

=> Points: 10 / 10
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++
2. Quality / Value

The quality of the exhaust is impressive, the material which was used is
absolute great and the welds are looking perfect. The system hadn't any
scratches or dents and was polished like a diamond and that after a long way
to Chile. I was quite a little afraid to touch this piece of jewelry :-)
Any inch of the exhaust is worth the money!!!

=> Points 10 / 10
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++
3. Installation

Because I live in Chile and the local exhausts shops aren't very good, I decided
to install the parts by myself. Huii, these were my first parts I installed on
any of my cars but with the good instructions I hadn't any problems. Only the
catalytic bolts were dificult and I broke them off of the old parts. Finally I
needed 10 hours but only because I did all things slow and double checked every
part. For the final alignment I used some nuts/gaskets on the passenger side to
put this side a little bit down.

=> Points 10 / 10
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++
4. Final thoughts

Hmm, nothing more to say, all went absolutly perfect including the excellent customer
support. All I can say to Tony is a big !!!THANKS!!!!

Well I think the hanger needs to be adjusted. I wonder how easy I can bend it? I also noticed one tip sticks out further than the other. But my other exhaust did the same thing so I think it might be my car... As long as I can get the tips even I will be happy. I love the sound so I am happy.

No need to worry, stuff like this happens, it cannot be perfect for everyone! I highly recommend this exhaust and the wait is worth it.

EDIT: added 3 small washers to each bolt on the right side which was sitting higher. Now it's even.

Do not try and bend it. Just shim it down with the same amount of washers per hole. There are three holes holding the hanger to the underside of the car. At most it should only need one thick washer per hole.

Normally it is not an issue however not every car is exactly the same. About 1 out of every 7-8 installs I do I need to shim one tip down. No biggie and we are grateful it is so easy to do.

Call me if you need any assistance...

Thanks, Tony
