Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

Methodical4u · 09-08-2011, 01:46 AM

Yeah, i'm sure it's HD... my roomate took it on his iphone and he's a phone geek lol.

Keep in mind the ART pipes take about 1500 miles to settle in as well, but I only have about 400 or so on them, so the sound will settle down a whole lot in the next few months.

As far as the exhaust goes... I though about polishing the entire thing... even the pipes that aren't done, but I guess you can see them, so it wouldn't matter much.

Oh really? Didn't know that about them, well then by the time they're settled, your exhaust will be too. You'll notice the tone will deepen a lot.

Usually for basic cleaning I'll only polish the tips, and depending on how tired I am, I may/may not clean the cans. Since they aren't usually really dirty...

If I'm going to a show though I make sure to knock those out. For any piping in front of them, they're barely visible and not worth the hassle of lifting the car to access.

Yeah, i'm just so picky about my car. and I used to actually polish aluminum and SS for people, motorcycle wheels, frames, old car intakes, etc etc... it takes A LOT of work though, especially when you have to cut casting down. The cans and such are beautiful obviously, and most would never notice... you can just see BARELY in the halogen lights I use for detailing that the pipes have just a slight hint of scratches from the buffing process. Once you get to a point of polishing though... ANYTHING will scratch it... even just touching it with your finger.

Quick question for those of you who did the install of your CBE or whatever your set-up is, yourself... or for Tony if he happens to stop by...

Do the 2 pipes that connect to the cats or test pipes have to go on a certain side or are both pipes the same? The gaskets have to be turned a certain way, so I wasn't sure about the pipes. When I look at them, they don't line up completely flush with my ART pipes which are the same size flanges as stock and I would assume that this exhaust is the same as well?

Well there are only 2 ways the pipe can go on. It wont fit either way?

No no, I mean, they fit... but I don't know if the flanges on both of the pipes (the ones that are seperated and go from the mid pipe to the cat or test pipes... whatever someone has) are supposed to fit flush to the other flanges... in other words, was one pipe made specifically for the drivers side and one for the passengers?

Yes one pipe is made for the driver side and one is made for the passenger. The installation instructions that I sent with the exhaust explain all of this.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me directly...

Thanks, Tony

ahhh sh!t ... I gotta check on it now.. I think they are correct... but I need to look it over again lol.

Methodical4u · 09-08-2011, 08:20 PM

Yep, I just checked a little bit ago... I got it right, I just was making sure, I was just thinking the gaskets and the way they went on, made me worry a little.
