Fast Intentions Cat-Back & HF Cats Review

MrBMW · 08-18-2009, 11:45 PM

Thanks so much for that review also. It just makes waiting that much harder aarrgghh. Also thank you on those pics, it's great to see the CF's on a car. Mainly so i can get an idea of what they will really look like on mine when it arrives.

Those CF mufflers certainly look great.

The hissing noise when letting off the throttle is quite entertaining, but sometimes reminds me of a person with nasal issues when talking :-)

The exhaust sound is intimidating especially with SRM active. Yesterday some "ricer" kept chasing my tail and revving at me as I was exiting. Freeway traffic was quite congested due to construction, so I found myself down shifting and hard braking quite a bit. So I guess someone got fidgety and kept tail gating while revving at me.

That SRM attracts everybody. I find myself everyday getting rev'd at, and I just shake my head. Everybody thinks I am trying to start a race. Get used to it..

Thanks for the review! I can't wait for mine.

I love SRM down shifts, makes me feel like a racer!

JoeD · 08-19-2009, 05:45 PM

Perhaps one of you could explain why or how an "SRM downshift" would sound any different than a standard, properly-executed downshift sans SRM?

It does sound real cool but at times you want to shut it off and it is nice that you can. This way cops won't think you are revving on them!

FuszNissan · 08-19-2009, 05:48 PM

I am not saying that the SRM downshift sounds any different from a heel toe. People just think I am starting a race when I am mearly downshifting.

It's the exhaust

I always rev match and downshift. Since the 350Z I never had an aftermarket exhaust. I've only had the TDX with 12" resonators for a couple of weeks with the 370Z... definitely intimidating in a tasteful way. Not much to complain... just makes SRM much more fun.

I know this is a lil off-topic...but it says you are waiting for 18" resonators in your sig..are the 12" ones too loud with the berks? Im just wondering because I love loudness and was not fond of the deepness for the 18" resonators..but that could change due to HFC's

Forrest · 08-19-2009, 05:49 PM

coudlnt explain to you cuz i cant properly execute a downshift

TARDCORE · 08-19-2009, 06:35 PM
