Fast Intentions heat cycle question

bldg636 · 02-15-2013, 08:54 AM

So i installed my Fast Intentions cat back system yesterday and I read that it says you should do two full heat cycles before driving regularly. I started the car and let it heat up to 180 degree oil temp, then cool down completely. I did this twice. Am i good to go and romp on the throttle now or is there more break in that needs to be done to ensure nothing breaks? Thanks in advance for the help!

You're fine. I did a heat cycle...kinda. Drove it over 600 miles in 2 days just to keep hearing it

The Quality of the FI exhaust is top notch. If I was fine, You will be fine.

You are good to go. I put that break in note in the instructions more as a precautionary measure. By breaking it in per the instructions, you are prolonging the life of the internals in the resonators, mufflers and tips.

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

Thank you, Tony

Every time I see Tony Sniper a F.I. thread, I get more and more inclined to sell my $hit and buy his.

Lol, I'll lowball you for your current setup

bldg636 · 02-15-2013, 12:54 PM

It took about 10-15 mins but i wasn't idling . . . i was lightly revving up to 1500 or so . .

Tony - Thanks for chiming in . . . your customer support is second to none. Anyone thinking about buying any FI products should do so with confidence. Tony's products and service are the best i've seen in the industry!

BTW . . . exhaust sounds sick! I never take my car out in the rain, and I took it to work today even though it's pouring outside just to hear more of that sweet FI exhaust growl!

Haha. I have the HFC and resonator for the Y pipe. Rest of course Tanabe. Spent $2,000 + shipping for all of it. PM me if you are serious lol. It may take some time before you actually get it. I'll start at 25% off.

ROFL, Well played.

I've searched and haven't found anything yet, is there a video or DIY for the F.I. HFC install? I'm pulling the trigger on HFC and CBE and want to install myself.

No video that I know of on the HFC, just the CBE. I am sure you are looking for something comparable to the "Speedy's Garage" install video. Our installation instructions will walk you through it.

Also, I know that I have a new pm from you. I am glad that you are ready to move forward. I will get back to you shortly.

Thanks, Tony

I am still quoting about 11-13 weeks, but right now we are running more like 9-11 out. If you have any questions or would like to place an order, please do not hesitate to call me directly.

Thanks, Tony

Thanks man, just trying to figure out when to order. Would have done it by now but dropped a bunch of coin on a trip to Maui in April.
