Just checked FI's website, it's $75 extra. The setup I would consider from Fast Intentions would be the 2.5in diameter piping, and 18in resonators. Comes out to be around $1500, not sure about the shipping. They offer a 5% military discount as well, so ~$1425 for the exhaust alone, which honestly doesn't seem so bad.

That's my catback... 2.5" FI w/18" resonators. If you can get it for $1425, then yes, that's a very good deal.
I have the Berks HFC and they're 2.5in. I don't want it going from 2.5in to 2.25in as that usually introduces some rasp, unless it's tapered down.
Are the Z1 HFC 2.5in? Would love to hear am exhaust clip.
Debating whether I want to upgrade to the Stillen CBE or Ark exhaust next year.
Berk is 60mm, which is 2.35in. Invidia is the only catback that is 2.35 from the cats.
I have fast intentions resonated test pipes mated to my stillen. No sound clips though.
Hearing a fast intentions 12 inch and 18 inch, one with oem cats, and one with resonated cats, was too tame for me. If you want volume, look at the ARK or stillen.

So I am starting to think about a different shift ****. I really like the size & feel of the one I have now, especially the fact it does not get hot or cold easily like a metal shift ****. It is great for fast shifting at track days, but just looks a bit plain. Take a look and tell me if I am just being too picky.
If I did a different shift **** I would like something that looks a little nicer, but does not have too much metal on it due to the extreme heat and cold we get here in WI. Maybe something like the Momo Sphere or Sparco Globe. Does anyone know if the silver trim pieces on top are metal? I had the Momo Sphere a long time ago and liked it, but cannot remember if it was metal on top. Any other suggestions or should I just keep what I have since it works perfect aside from style points?
You're not wrong, it's boring. The finish is appealing, and the shape is right (although way too squat, IMO), but overall there's something meh about it.
Coincidentally, there's a similar convo happening in the what-did-you-do thread. I recommended this little guy:

Hmmm... that's not a bad shift ****. Kind of a nice middle ground between Delrin and something fancier. But I think it would look weird with the shift pattern on the shift **** and the trim around it and it looks rather plain on top without it.
For the money I would like to go the "full fancy" route with leather. Or just keep what I have as it functions perfectly, but does not look nearly as nice as the rest of the interior- especially now that I have the redline shift boot and armrest cover.

Rochester, I am still trying to talk myself into this shift ****. I think it looks better with the shift pattern engraved compared to plain. If I went that route, do you know if the factory shift pattern comes off the interior trim easily? I am not sure if it is just painted on or if it is etched into the trim.
The only thing I am concerned about is the metal top which I think might get blazing hot in the summer and freezing cold in the winter. I see they make a shift **** cover, but that's a little much for me. However, they also make a Slammology Delrin cover I could get in case it gets too hot. But if heat on the top is really an issue with this shift ****, I think I would lean more toward the TWM Phantom Hybrid shift ****.
Anyone else have any of these shift ***** and want to chime in on what they think of them?

I agree, the shift pattern etching is more appealing than otherwise. Are you concerned about the ****-retentive requirement that it's always perfectly lined up? That would drive me nuts.
Pretty sure the pattern on the OEM trim is screen-printed underneath a clear coat. I think yeah, it can probably come off, but not all by itself. It's likely you'd have to have the trim repainted. And you know how flimsy, easily bent or damaged that thin piece of aluminum is, so good luck with that.

LOL. Man up, Nancy. It's just that coil-sized spot at the top, recessed even... you'll be fine.

Oddly enough it looks fairly easy to line up the etching from the way it is designed. Yeah, you are right about the factory shift pattern though. That could be interesting to remove.
Man up? Says the guy who switches his entire shift ****. I had a Momo race air leather shift **** with a much smaller area of exposed aluminum. In the summer it would get so hot that I thought I was going to brand my hand like the guy in Indianna Jones or the robbers in Home Alone. YEOOUCH!
