Fast Intentions Cat Back Exhaust Installed!
 
The day has finally come, and here it is...

The package arrived undamaged...and all of the pieces were very meticulously wrapped with bubble wrap, so much so that it was a bit of a challenge unwrapping, and caused me to break out in a sweat :rofl2: 10 out of 10

Initial install thoughts:

- Cutting the heat shield on the passanger side of the muffler area made me scratch my head just for a second...then I snapped out of it and did the deed!

- Removing the Evap Canister cover on the passenger side also was a concern...but there is plenty of clearance between the fuel lines and the muffler plus Tony gives you a heat shield to wrap around the fuel line closest to the muffler...

- The rest of the installation process went flawlessly, I mean the fit and finish of this exhaust system is awesome! I give it a 10 out of 10!

- The sound is pure exotic! The z sounds like its ready to rip out of its own skin (paint) as your getting on it! 9 out of 10 and only because I am waiting on Tonys Long Tube Headers!

- There is definately more torque off the line, I was really surprised to feel it right off the bat like that!

All in all I am very impressed and very Happy :tup:

Enough of my jaw jacking...heres some pictures and a few videos too :tup:

EDIT WASHER MOD: to align the tips...I went with three washers on each bolt, I tried it with two first, but three seemd to be the sweet spot for me :)

I will update thread in a while with some cabin videos...

kdo2milger 09-05-2009 04:46 PM

The videos dont do the exhaust justice! its so much better sounding in person, and much much deeper than stock...

I cant wait to get the long tube headers on :driving:

MrBMW 09-05-2009 08:41 PM

Awesome kdo2'. You and the RED posse are taking over the place LOL. It's great to see another person really happy with Tony's efforts on this exhaust.

Hopefully not much longer for myself.

Danny3.7 09-05-2009 08:49 PM

m4a1mustang 09-05-2009 09:20 PM

The passenger tip looks a little high but it is real easy to bring it down to match the driver. Aside of that it looks like it all went together real nice. Thank you for doing the very detailed review and the car sounds great with the straight X Pipe. Enjoy it and do not hesitate to ask if you need anything else. I will make sure that your review gets added to the product review section in my new website...

Thanks man, Tony

Damn i just keep listening to all these Video clips. I really cant wait to get mine in and with RTP's for that little extra (seeing Longtubes probably can't happen for us).

dainedazz 09-06-2009 07:06 AM

MrBMW, you & Mustang are up next! excited or what?!

after seeing those drive by video clips from kdo made
me want the exhaust more!
i cant wait! i have like a month to go tho but its all good
all worth the wait.

so looks like u & me are gonna be running similar numbers!
your gonna have slightly better numbers bcuz of the RTP tho!

i'm gonna be running on stock cats..
patiently waiting for the long tubes :D

HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE!

dainedazz 09-06-2009 07:12 AM

oh btw just to kill some time till my exhaust comes,
i'm gonna get my headlights done on 9/14
just thought i'd share with the fellahz!

dainedazz 09-06-2009 11:22 AM

yo kdo, idk what to expect from them long tubes.
i've been doing re-search on other long tubes and they give like +30whp with stock cats for other cars..

Tony's long tubes are gonna be interesting!

imagine +30whp..

and the sound of that beast..:worship:
