- Tanabe to me, looks good execpt the tips are kinda big. I don't mind bigger tips if I drive a coupe. But for sedan I prefer something more stock looking

- FI is the most stock looking of the bunch. But you can still easily tell it's not stock especially if you are a car guy. It looks the most "belonged" out of the three.

Great choice for choosing the FI
Totally agreed! I did quite a bit of research... pics/vids etc. and like the looks/sound of the FI the best, by far.

Bu I tell you... the build quality of this thing is just amazing!

Gave it a good push on the way home just now... damn... I want to hear that sound constantly... so much for gas mileage.

Yup! Eli was great!

Just got back from PX... took that cross-brace off... it really serves no purpose... lined up the tip a bit better, and I'm ok with it!

Nobody should hesitate to get this FI CBE for their sedan! Nobody!

I'll try to get some vids soon.

Call Tony at Fast Intentions...

fastintentions.com

Great guy.

I got mine through one of his resellers, Nick @ THMotorsports.com.

Either way is good!

Pretty long waiting list though, since Tony makes stuff for the 370z, G coupes, etc. etc.

Wait until it breaks in you will be blown away by how deep it sounds.

I thought mine was too quiet in the beginning but after about 1000 miles and a few "sessions" putting my foot into it on the highway it is soo much deeper and throatier.... almost makes me want to get HFC

Well, I have about 900 miles to do... heck, I just passed 3,000 miles on the car today.

P.S. I forgot to mention... the cross-member underneath the car... the muffler x pipe section was banging against it, so I just took it back for the guys to take off. The only reason it's there is to keep a broken exhaust from dragging/falling off. No structural benefits to it whatsoever. Some people have put washers on the bolts to space it further down, but meh. It was easier just to remove it. lol
