Hahaha right a few... and got like 5 in one shot back here in Jersey haha

 

Rex, when do the cats get installed?

 

Not yet, they should be here on Thursday. The way the next couple weeks look it may not be until mid December that I can get them on.

 

That guy in the mod/dyno thread bummed me out saying he didn't notice having the RHFC on an OEM catback. I suspect you will be more enthusiastic about it. If not, I may be re-evaluating things. Since end-of-year is when that order goes in for me, I'm hoping to read a decent review on this setup.

And you're the guy, Rex.

 

No pressure!

I was a little bummed when I read that too. It's contrary to other reports that I've read but I'll do the best I can to provide a good write-up. I'll see what I can do about providing sound or video clips as well.

 

Those other reports were likely about having a traditional, non-resonated HFC with the OEM cat-back. I've not run across anyone who put Fast Intentions' resonated HFC on first, before upgrading the remaining cat-back. Well, except for that Alfredo cat, and he was unimpressed.

This guy here even swapped out his non-Resonated BERK's for the FI RHFC. Love his video comparison.

I get the sense that most people in this forum modify the exhaust for sound as a priority, in which case you could go axle-back and be done with it. Seems to me, though, that efficiency gains are at the headers, not behind the axle. So that's where I'd rather start. And start with FI's resonated cats to future-proof the rasp out of whatever cat-back I eventually get.

I'm guessing that's where your head is at on this, too.

I'm also guessing/hoping you're going to love the new cats, both in sound and grunt.

 

If you guys are talking about difference performance wise after installing HFCs I haven't really noticed any difference after putting on my Berk HFCs either IDK If I was supposed to or not but haven't really noticed much... sound-wise yes performance-wise I'm not sure

But now with the Invidia Q300 with the upgraded X pipe I'm sure it is going to matter and I just can't wait till Wednesday to see the results of the Berk HFCs together with the Invidia CBE and I'll have it like for a while and then try to decide If I'm happy with berks or whether FI RHFCs would be necessary lol.

 

Not saying I was unimpressed, just expected it to be way more alive. Couldn't even tell the difference after install. Maybe it has to break in a bit?

 

That could be. I'm interested to see what your thoughts are down the line a little bit. I suppose I am expecting a subtle but marked difference.

 

So you're the guy who snagged that awesome looking one of a kind trunk! I had eyes all over that thing back when Alex put it up for sale in the summer, it was already painted moonlight white and everything

I'm really liking what you've done with the car so far, those blue demon eyes are mean looking! I'm excited to see what you'll do next, and at the rate you're going it doesn't look like I'll have to wait long to find out Happy modding!

 

Thank you, much appreciated!

I'm loving the trunk, all the work they did at 180 was excellent. It's coming together nicely (I think) especially for a car I wasn't going to mod...

 

Things are slowly coming together. FI RHFCs arrived today and I'm really happy with what I see of them so far. New spare tire also arrived, that was a lot to juggle down three flights and back up a flight to where I parked. Rims arrived at the powder coater, should be ready when I get back from Buffalo and Toronto so.... I'm looking for a little feedback please and didn't want to annoy just Brad with this question for... Probably the third time, though with a slightly different variation.

I've decided to run a squared set up instead of staggered and will be running Rays forged G35 coupe rims which are 19x8.5 with an offset of +33mm to the best of my knowledge. I'm thinking 245/40/19 all around. Comments / criticism / other suggestions?

Other than that I've been collecting parts. Cusco bar is on the way, sways will probably be ordered tomorrow. Couple other odds and ends for when I have time and weather to tinker and am looking at some things under the hood now (I may have too many logos).

 

245/40/19 FTW, and no Chris you're not bugging me, BTW got a specific tire in mind?

 

Thank you Brad! I'm thinking the A/S3, anything else you would suggest?

We don't get a lot of snow in Memphis though some of our roads ice up due to poor engineering, well more than they normally would I suppose. I don't think I need true winter tires here so I think this will be a decent compromise.

 

Do you have a back up car for freezing weather? If so, I'd go w/ summer tires on your G, Pilot Super Sports get the most praise, the Toyo T1 Sports are a good option if your tax refund isn't as much as you hoped
For All seasons again, the Michelins get great reviews and I've been happy w/ my Toyo Proxes4 Plus. If you look into the Toyos Treadepot has nice deals, talk w/ Andrew & mention the site for best prices.
