Oh crap! Well I hope they're shipped soon, because knowing from experience drop shipments can take longer than usual shipments!

I could hear my intake when my exhaust was still stock, but with the FI exhaust installed, it drowns out any intake noise.

Hmm. Well, I'm sure to have my own opinion on that shortly.

Today was the day Lance said FI would be shipping, but I don't think that happened. Getting antsy now. Been nearly 12 weeks.

Took it for some aggressive driving on the highway and i can finally hear it when i really step on it, i do notice the sound now. Much more refined and a deeper growl, maybe removing the hood padding makes a difference too?

Well, my bags were completed this weekend. The best decision I have made in my modding life. Install was done by Viet Dang, IAMVIETDANG, and Leveled designs is his company. Excellent workmanship!! Can't speak enough about him.

I finished off the controller mount this afternoon. Made by Kuda Mounts. Very high quality fit and finish.

You may be able to hear it more than me because I'm sure the 18" resonators will soak up some more sound. But if Lance said it shipped today, you should have it by week's end I would imagine. I went through the same thing. I think you ordered at the perfect time, with spring mods and all.

Can't wait for your full review John!

Doublea, do you notice that the engine seems to rip to redline with a new found ferocity? I felt that the stock intake was somewhat restrictive to breathing. Intakes definitely solve that!

Nice job on the two bag installs! Out of sheer curiosity, what do those kits run with installation?

No, it was two weeks ago when he said it would start shipping starting 3/16, but I haven't heard anything yet.

I'm sure any moment now I'll get a PM. Refresh refresh refresh
