So last night I finally installed my Fast Intentions exhaust and HFC's. The exhaust is the traditional style with updated xpipe and 18" resonators, and the HFC's are resonated as well. Along with that i have the stillen gen 3's installed.

So far I'm loving the sound. Very nice exhaust note, quiet when not moving but very aggressive on acceleration. Nice, deep, aggressive growl. The drone is a bit loud at times, but with the setup the way it is, I knew it would be. Nothing unbearable and un-noticeable when not focusing on it or with music.

Only issue I'm having is a bit of contact on one of the pipes. My car is rear wheel drive but has the rear wheel active steer (not sure how common that is or if it's standard) and the passenger pipe that is in front of the muffler intermittently comes in contact with the solenoid housing for the active steer. As it sits with the car off it's close enough for a credit card to fit in between. But sometimes at idle in park or drive it contacts and makes a pretty loud rattle.

Anyone have this situation with the Fast Intentions exhaust? I'm sure it's correctable, but other than bending the pipe I'm not sure how. Any input or advice would be great. Thanks.

 

That's going to drive you crazy as time goes on
Sorry to hear of that issue, like you said, probably not much you can do but bend the pipe in that area. That active steer isn't a real common feature, maybe contact FI and see what they say, maybe they have a different piping in that area that could be switched out

Thanks, I was hoping not to have to do that but if I do it's not the end of the world. And yea I don't really here the active steer being mentioned much on here so I have no clue how common it is.

 

Can't speak of the contact issue. Though the above highlighted in red seemed to get a lot better after I had an UpRev tune done. Exhaust sounds much smoother, car drives much better as well.

 

Well that's good to hear I have a tune scheduled in a couple weeks.
