Sups guys! I will be getting my FI HFC by this Wed, and is being Installed by the dealer. Now did anyone get thier FI HFC's like real recently? Want to know how many Gaskets it came with? since I did a search and I guess you suposed to use High Temp Silicone for the Header to Cat flange point? I read that Tony was making Gaskets, but not sure if he came out with them yet, or if he sent them in my order? so can anyone chime in if thier recent order of FI HFC's came with 4 gaskets or 2? if not I guess I gotta go out and buy a tube of High Temp Silicione for the dealer to use for my Install. Or would it be a good idea to use the OEM gasket or a new OEM gasket from infiniti? Would appreciate the info so i can be prepared for this WED's Install! Thnx

 

yes people with FI have been using the high temp silicone

berks comes with the gaskets.

 

aliiin check your stuff i message you in the visitor thing.

so what your saying is we need silicon for this? aliin did the dealership already have some or did u have to buy some

 

silicone will not hold and you will get CEL after 2-300 miles.(it was installed by tony 2 times and still CEL)
So if tony dont have it you have to buy the crush ring from dealer ($40)or
get the triangle shape gasket from Berk and you will be fine.
i had this problem before and now you dont have to....

 

bull over 2000KM on my FI HFC with silicone and no CEL. I had a CEL from day one with my berks. Cel is hit and miss with both Berk and FI. It has nothing to do with the Silicone or Gasket if installed correctly. You cannot say that the silicone will100% cause a CEL just as much as you cannot say Berk will not have a CEL. I know I have had both. So lets stop misinformation. Bottom line both Berk and FI HFC's work well and produce gains. BOth FI and Berk are hit and miss with CEL.

 

Oh lucky for you.

Installed correctly?
It was installed by who made it .

After dealer installed mine with berk gasket there is no CEL until now (more than 4000 miles).

So i will say it is much less chance and much safer with GASKET on the engine side.
I am not on any side
thank you...

 

I never said Tony did not install correctly. I said that the silicone or gasket is not the problem with the CEL as long as it is installed correctly. I also am on neither side as stated in my conclusion. Simply saying that neither the gasket or the silicone is the cause of the CEL.

 

i just had to change a oem gasket and at first they told me $31, but then i went in n got my hookup. $8 please =0) will sell for $17 shipped if anyone wants jsut lemme know =0)~~~~

 

Well I just bought my FI HFC;s, and the direction's Tony supplied with the kit, says to use the Stock cooper OEM Gasket from the Header to Cat- with the Hight Temp SIlicone. so it should be good to go! or can use just the Silicone only. but still he has not supplied the Gasket like Berks does, TOny only Includes the gaskets for the Cat to Y-pipe connection! Getting my HFC"s installed as i type this! hope everything turns out OK. it's being done by my Infiniti dealer.

 

Berk sells gasket that fit it for 25 bucks

 

Any updates?

 

Well got my FI HFC's installed by my dealer today! no leaks whatsoever, but they did screw up one of my top 02 sensors, the one on the header! so my car has mad hesitation at low RPM's if i floor it. because of the bad sensor which also set off the CEL. I was mad at first, but they are giving me a new one under warranty!

As for the sound, I like it, I have the Stillen-Cat back on my Sedan. and it still has that mellow tone when cruzing, but full throttle it after like 3000 RPM, and the exhaust sounds more raunchy!! . not obnoxious, but you can defianltey tell it's louder! and I like it. Can't tell yet how the higher RPM's feel, as it's not too safe right now with the bad 02 sensor, but should have it all good by next week!

 

glad you like em.

 

Any sound /video clips? I'd love to hear this particular combo (G37/Stillen CB/FI HFCs)

Thanks in advance!!!!!

 

haha sorry dude, don't have anything to make Vids! Plus I have a 07 G35 sedan, not a G37 coupe.
