If this happened on yours then conceivably it's going to happen to all of ours at some point, no? How long did you have the cats on for?

Sorry, didn't read the entire post. November 24, 2013

Btw I just remembered that now I won't be able to do that video you requested about the deceleration of ARK paired with the FI RHFC to check for any hiss.

I'm feeling pretty confident that I will like and probably be keeping the MXP double resonated test pipes on, even if the FI RHFC could be fixed.

That's the problem i'm having right now. I have a narrow garage to my underground parking and I scrape the flex pipe pretty bad no matter what angle I take.. I want to lower my car to close out some wheel gap but I can't with the way things are now.. I'm looking for solutions but am becoming doubtful.

Are you on coils or just springs? You could ways get custom springs done. Id probably go with 16-20k up front and 16-18k in the rear.

Stock G37S Coupe suspension. I want some C/O's to get the stance I want, but i'm thinking it won't be possible with this garage. =/

No kidding! $1600 for a CBE that scrapes everywhere when mines fine for $450. I dislike bandwagon stuff when it's over priced.

It really depends in your budget but if your not really considering coils you can always go with koni yellows + swift springs. You can customize your own spring rates. The drop is good enough if you dont want to slam your car. As for coils it really depends on your budget, or if country of origin its from or overall best bang for your buck.

I have fast intention high flow cats (resonated) I like them but the deceleration hiss bugs me sometimes. other than that i love them but sometimes i wish i did not get them resonated because I want them louder sometimes but then sometimes im glad i got them @_@

Budget isn't a huge factor- there's actually a Tanabe Pro set of c/o's on the classifieds right now for a bargain. I would just hate to spend the money to end up keeping my car at the same height it is right now.

Everyone uses Chinese 304SS which is not the same, it is but it isn't. i can guarantee the amount of alloy tolerances between the two vary greatly from the amount of rust i see on all exhausts and the very slight magnetism i get from them; so i know the Chinese pipe has a ton more carbon in it vs USA.

Vibrant resonators is Canadian!

What's your resonator size on your FI CBE? 12"? 18"? Or Non-resonated?

I'm running Z1 Motorsports HFCs with Exoticspeed Titan II exhaust & Stillen Gen3 loving the sound so far. I don't hear any baby rattle bees nest sounds at all. My favorite is sound on downshifts.
