I have been extreamly happy with my non-res CF F.I.

Hopefully you can get too see the exhaust in person & make the choice that reflects on the direction you want to go & be ultimately happy with.

Good luck.

so is non functional carbon fiber wrapped on your cans right?

Then again its individual taste like you said

If he likes heated tips, then he likes them

Technically the cf isn't completely non functional. Its a further weight reduction over the stainless cans and most other exhaust I believe

The FI CF CBE (12" resonators, I believe) is 41 lbs. For the Nismo, this is a weight savings of 25 lbs (stock is 66 lbs) and for the base Z it's a savings of 16 lbs... of course, this is sprung weight so it doesn't matter as much as losing weight in your wheels or elsewhere. I still like offsetting the weight I've added from other mods.

The Carbon Fiber mufflers are not an overlay, they are the actual sleeve to the muffler. the muffler itself weighs just over 1 lb.

Thanks, Tony

I guess it wasn't meant to be.

The guy mistaken the discontinued Ti-C for Greddy's new exhaust which does not have burnt tips.

Now I'm back to searching.
