Did it ever cross your mind to try and find someone with a FI exhaust so you could hear first hand? I know before ordering my exhaust I did some

Did it ever cross your mind to try and find someone with a FI exhaust so you could hear first hand? I know before ordering my exhaust I did some pretty extensive research... not just reading posts on a forum. You may have read multiple places the claim for no drone but didn't anyone ever tell you not to believe everything you read on the internet?

I did listen to some though from outside the vehicle (idle, revving). You're right that I should have taken some extended rides, but the opportunity didn't come up. So my bad there, for sure.

As for the reviews, another good point. I just figured I could trust the preponderance of reviews of an exhaust for 370Zs on a forum dedicated to that car. My bad?

Fact is FI is a small company and a lot of people may live in places where no reps that sell FI are, or have anyone near them with the exhaust that they can to listen to. In those situations the reviews here and elsewhere are largely what people use to make purchase decisions.

I never drive my 7AT in D so its not an issue for me, although I agree with the OP. Having said that I spoke with Tony at length prior to purchase and went with 18" resonators to minimize it. This was his recomendation for me based on my expectations, to reduce drone. He never claimed there would be none. I'm totally satisfied with my purchase and service from FI.
OP did you discuss this in detail with Tony prior to purchase?
