So i started the install a little while ago,
taking the OEM exhaust off was easy, since my car is new, nothing has rusted, so the nuts came off fairly easy..

here is the issue...
I can't get my passenger side exhaust tip to fit... there is this black box in the way and there is no way around it unless maybe removing the whole box,
which i was not aware of doing...

I have the 2011 X Coupe, with the sport package (not that this matters)
I'm attaching the picture of the whole system before I started installing,

 

I removed mine !

 

you removed that black box?
what is that thing anyway?

 

I got the same thing on the way. Would be good to know this info before installation. Did you contact Tony about it?

 

a black box? whats that? can you take picture of it?

 

Yeah, picture would be appreciated and if anyone knows what this black box is for?

 

Not sure what the black box is for either but I have the same on mine too. It's just barely not touching the cans on my Tanabes so I didn't mess with it.

 

it is a suspention dampener

 

I'm calling Tony first thing tomorrow... I'm pretty sure I dont have to remove it...

 

Let us know what's up when you hear from him.

 

Just called Fast Intentions and spoke with someone since Tony was on the other line with a customer.
I can't recall the name of the guy i spoke with, but he was VERY VERY helpful and kind.

The "black box" near the passenger side exhaust tip area does need to be removed.
It's just a cover, and it needs to be removed to fit the exhaust.
They provide a heat shield that goes in place of that.

As of now I cannot confirm any of this because I'm at work.

So I will go home and try the install once again and give you guys an update.

 

I'm finally done with the install!
it was a piece of cake, and mistake on my part.

All I have to say is... before you do anything, read the instructions that is provided in the box, it is wrapped with all the hardware hahaha

The "black box" is actually a cover for the fuel lines, that needs to be removed from the car.
Also, there is another heat shield that needs to be removed.
After that, the install was a breeze!

 

I did record a sound clip of my stock exhaust, and I will soon record the FI exhaust.
Dont expect anything great, it was done on my iphone, which in my opinion isnt bad at all at recording the stock sound

 

Told ya congrats on the best system available !

 

yeah.. my car sounds like a super car now... OMG....
