I also removed mine when I installed my ARK catback. No biggy watsoever.

 

Maybe I'll paint it black and sell it to some poor sucker on eBay. lol jk

 

My FI exhaust just came in yesterday!!! Hopefully i can get it put on tomorrow evening. I can not wait!!!!! Yeah Buddy.....

 

Awesome! You're gunna love it! Go easy on it for a few days though so it breaks in properly!

 

For sure!!! Thanks bro. Are you planning on adding the HFC's?

 

I put them on when the car had 300 miles on it. lol With the stock exhaust, they were raspy. But now that's all gone after I put on the FI. It's awesome!

 

you should also get HFC's too and it will sounds even more amazing

 

I have HFCs. lmao

 

looks great op! i've been considering an exhaust setup, but i wasn't a fan of any of the tips (tanabe, stillen, etc.). the only set i was considering was the arks, but i didn't realize how large the tips were. i'm surprised by the fi system...i didn't even really notice it around! i think i just might have my mind set!

any bumps in performance? that piping doesn't look very large...lol

 

LOL It's 2.5"...

There's a definite improvement throughout the whole RPM range. It really feels like a whole different car now. It was quite a dramatic upgrade with the ERZ HFCs! The HFCs alone weren't all that dramatic, but this combination is GREAT!

 

Good to know. Thanks for the video man! You've inspired, I'm sure, many! lol

 

Efuseakay, I just got my FI exhaust put on yesterday and all i can say is WOW!!! My buddy owns a shop over here in Pa called Dreamwerks Auto Performance and said that it was the easiest and best sounding exhaust that he has put on. It looks stock but a the same time it looks MEAN. The sound is freaking awesome!!! I am currently on the 2nd hot/cold cycle. How many miles should i wait before i open this bad girl up?

 

You should be good to go after one more cycle. I put on close to 100 miles before I took the vids. 100 miles in a day. lol

Glad you're enjoying it! Of all the cars/exhausts I've had, this combo is hands down my favorite!

 

Hey efuseakay, how far do your tips stick out? I'm getting some rattling under my car and a squeaking noise. I also noticed that your tips are centered in the cut outs on the back bumper. Mine are a little inward. Any ideas? Thanks in advance....

 

They don't really stick out... if you're looking straight down, just the outward edges of the tips poke out a bit.

My left tip is slightly off, but I'm ok with it. You just have to play around a bit... try loosening the clamps to the muffler sections so you can turn them a bit... it's also possible the exhaust hangers were bent during shipping. You could try bending those as well, to get a better alignment.

The rattling may be the cross-member "brace" under the car up by the first muffler. I removed mine completely.

Not sure about the squeaking. Make sure everything has clearance, and is tightened up good.

Good luck!
