FI Combo Question

Hi, i am new to the forum. So, i was planning to get Fast Intentions resonated test pipes with a Fast Intentions exhaust. Anyone have any experience with that combination before? Any Rasp? Thanks.

You do realize that people are going to tell you to search. Sound clips are easily found and if you look at fast intentions website there are plenty of sound clips available to give you an idea of the sound. Otherwise a quick search of Fast Intentions on this forum will provide you with many posts on it.

Since this combination is not that common, we can let it slip

I have the Fast Intentions exhaust + their resonated test pipes.

To start off, let me tell you it will be MUCH louder than just the F.I Intimidator exhaust paired with the stock cats or even aftermarket HFC.

At idle, you will definately notice the difference. It has a deeper tone and "gurgles" more.

During driving, It's very deep, and will have no rasp in daily driving and very little rasp at WOT. IMO, it sounds very exotic. Nothing like your ordinary aftermarket exhausts. I get nothing but compliments from other enthusiasts, and even the general public.

I have a few fly-by videos that I will upload for you in a few minutes.

Its his first post your tone doesnt have to be that hostile....chilll

I think the FI exhaust is loud already and according to skaterbasist itll be even louder, im sure there are probably plenty of sound clips just keep looking

Sorry if my question had been answered many times already. Anyways, Skaterbasist. I was looking up some videos on youtube and i happened to stumble upon your video of the FI resonated testpipes and FI intimidator exhaust. Im not sure if it was the video quality or something but it sounded a little raspy, do you happen to have any other videos? Also, what about this video
that you uploaded, did you happen to find out what setup he has? Thanks!

The other video that is not mine is just the F.I Exhaust with High Flow Cats.

As far as my video, well, the audio quality is very bad. I have another video of my setup with rolling/fly-by footage. But again, the audio quality sucks. Not sure if its worth uploading.

It's really not that raspy at WOT. The only time I can really hear the rasp during cold weather, WOT in 1st gear around 2700-3200 RPM's.

I'm looking at getting an FI exhaust as well, and I also want to hear a *different* sound clip. I'm looking for a clip that shows what the exhaust sounds like at a steady 3,000rpms, with the windows up and down. All the you tube clips and stuff on the FI site only have clips under acceleration or hard revving. I'm trying to get a sense of how much droning these exhausts have.

^ you are not going to get a good idea of how much droning a car has with video clips.

You have to be in it in person to really hear the drone.

The test pipes will add a significant amount of drone at low RPM's. The exhaust itself really doesn't have much drone like other exhausts out there.

Well, I guess I'll just have to have 'em on my car to find out.
Seems like everyone in Toronto goes HKS.....
