^^ 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. 
Watching your video though I can definitely tell your car has more loudness to it and I attribute that to the cats so looks like I need to go that route. Just wondering, do you feel the exhaust is loud enough for you?

No review yet because sadly I can't say I'm totally satisfied. This had nothing to do with fast intentions though because the fit and finish of the exhaust was second to none. I literally have never had an exhaust system that bolted up this perfectly (besides my nismo catback on my old Z). The tone that comes from the pipes is awesome as well. The problem with me is I like my exhaust's LOUD and this one simply doesn't meet my level of expectations. I know it's hard to get volume from the sedan's setup but I was hoping to at least be close to the volume of the meister setup. Now I have to decide whether or not to purchase high flow cats to hopefully meet my high volume needs.

Just wondering, do you feel the exhaust is loud enough for you?I think the exhaust is plenty loud for me. It's never raspy or high-pitched (unless getting on the skinny pedal). You'd be surprised, but I actually enjoy the sound of just casual cruising under normal acceleration because the tone is so deep and loud.
With cold starts, we all know the VQ37 takes about 30 seconds to reach the lowered idle and warm up. With my setup, when you do a cold start, it literally sounds very GT-R like. Usually when I leave for work in the morning, I'll start the car and then go stand behind it as it's warming up because it's so loud, which always makes me smile and think, man that sounds good! The tone is deep and has bass to it in a way that you can "feel" the sound in your chest. If you're in a drive way or in an alley, the sound echoes off of everyone's fence around you.
It's truly a blissful sound. It is very surprising to people because they think sedan, and it's going to be tame. Then they hear the exhaust and it leaves people a little slack-jawed and they make a face like this:
It's just unexpectedly deep and loud in the best possible way.

on a side note of the Cold start sound- , when I shipped my Car here to korea from California, I only had the Stillen CBE installed.
There was a very attractive Korean gal at the port when I went to go pick up my vehicle. she led me to my vehicle, and
I did a quick walk around and started the car up.
The girl excitedly exclaimed "wow, it sounds good!"
I was like, "yeah baby this ain't no Hyundai"

I know, I know...lol. What part of Jersey are you in again Mike? I was about 30 minutes outside of the city.
Mike, I added a third video that shows a cold start and rev at the tail pipes.

I wanted to ask her, but like i said i chickened out, plus i had started seeing somebody else, who is now my gf. we weren't serious at that point yet but it was still too much to juggle anyway.
They are the Stoptech's with the street performance pads. Feels about the same as stock without all the warping and fading issues. The stock rotors seemed to judder badly after heating up. Couldn't get the dealer to do anything about it. Just had these put on a couple weeks ago.
