I didn't think so but I would love to see the awesome Fast Intentions product stable expand to cover the verts. I haven't seen too many people go with LTH.

I definitely want to follow your progress and eventual review on this.

Your setup?

So you went with 2.5" pipes, RHFCs, and no resonators on the CBE. Right? Am I missing anything?

^^ Yes, that is correct. No resonators on the CBE.

I don't think you'll be disappointed. 12" resonators will attenuate the volume somewhat but they're still going to sound awesome! That I can guarantee. Did you also order RHFC's?

New video is added of the first start in the shop after the exhaust was installed.

No high flow cats for me as I read they didn't do too much for sound (just a little bit angrier) and that would push my exhaust setup in the 2k range which would have probably swung me towards meister, but who knows......

^^ I hear you on that. I can't comment personally on how much the RHFC's added. My plan to do this modification in stages was foiled so I had to do it all in one shot. Lance says that the RHFC's just deepen the tone. I like the Meisterschaft but for me personally, the tone isn't deep enough, although it's definitely loud, that is for sure!

Just watched your video again Twin. I enjoyed the part where you laughed when the exhaust started up as I think that's a natural reaction when changing exhaust for the better.

My question to you is do you get a lot of sound in the cabin because I'm hoping you do as that makes the exhaust that much much more enjoyable.

@Around: Lol, well thank you! Honestly, it was shocking and the laugh could not be controlled! It was definitely a change for the better. I know this is going to sound odd, but it has made me a little lighter on the skinny pedal because when it opens up, it's incredibly loud as in there's no way any other car around me wouldn't hear it and I'm not an ostentatious kind of guy.

I will say this, driving around in the city in 7th gear at 45mph, the engine is spinning at about 1,500 rpm. Although this is not very much, it's noticeable in the nicest kind of way in the form of a low rumble. At 70mph at 2,200 - 2,300 rpm, there's a nice rumble that's a bit louder when the incline of the road causes the engine to be under more load. At cruising speed, not under load, it doesn't make too much noise. I hope that helps

Twin, just opened up my exhaust and I'm about to install it! However, I noticed right away the mufflers had sebring tuning on them instead of fast intentions. I did not know they built the mufflers elsewhere (Lance said this was common knowledge so I guess I didn't research enough?) and I at least thought fast intentions would be etched in the muffler even if so. I'm a little put off by this but I'm just checking to see if your mufflers have the same engraving as mine?

^^ Around, yes, mine also had Sebring Tuning stamped on the tips. It's a minor nit, but wasn't a big enough deal (for me personally) to make it into my review. I did like that the RHFC's were stamped with the Fast Intentions logo. I had heard that the mufflers were from Sebring Tuning at some point in my research. Do you have a review thread? If so, PM me or post the link so I can check it out.
