Fast Intentions New X-Pipe W/18'Resonators
Thank you Tony at Fast Intentions for making this happen! I finally recieved my X-Pipe today and im so excited to bolt it on already. As always Tony promised to get my X-Pipe shipped to me by today and not a day late. Shipping and packaging was top notch and on time like my CF Catback was. Unfortunetly my Review will begin tommorow along with Pics and Vids but for now here is a Lil Teaser of whats to come......This is my current catback!!!!
And here is my new my New X-Pipe that will be installed first thing tommorow morning...DOMO
here is my old mid pipe !!!
So i finally got this X Pipe on and all i can say is WOW !!! Amazing job Tony@Fast Int did, I cant believe what a difference this new X-Pipe made ....very impressed and well worth the time, and money spent to get this on my car.
Let me start by saying that already most of you who already have Fast Int catback already know the quality/Sound and performance it brings. Now even when i first installed this catback i was very happy with the tone it gave as well as performance. This thing sounds mean!!! Sounds very aggressive and just like a AMPD UP VQ i alway's wanted. This was perfect since i wanted a lil more power and more of that beutiful tone it already has, It's addicting. Well Tony sent me this new X and that was all it took, i immediately noticed a smoother refined tone. I drove about 100 miles today just testing it out and it really does sound even more throaty and even deeper than i expected which is great. Slight drone but to me it's more of a Rumble that i just cant get enough of.
Power: Absolutely feels more alive and more free flowing then before. It defenetly picks up quicker. Down Shifts this i love, from 3rd to 2nd this thing just screams and all the way to redline it pulls very hard at ease .
WOT: Let me just say when i gave it WOT it immediatly put a smile on my face
very very Exotic up top , I thought it sounded mean B4 but this set-up is by far the way to go. Even now when i take off in 1st the power is there down low, i have new Hankooks w 20' Vossens and b4 install i would take off hard no problem but now it is sliding trying to grab and thats when i immediaely noticed the added power.IDLE: HAHA i love when im at a dead stop and that thing is just breathing heavy waiting to be opened up.
REV: well unfortunetly i have a 5AT so i can only push it to 5000 rpm but my UP-REV tune will def cure that.
CRUISING: This is what i love, whoever gets this keep it in low RPMs between 3-4000 rpm and that tone is Certainly the most beutiful sound i have ever heard from a VQ series engine, it's ORGASMIC!!!
DRIVING WITH WINDOWS UP: I Dont know why people complain about drone, Fast Int really is quiet unless you are constantly putting your foot down, at least for me it really doesn't drone.
OVERALL IMPRESSIONS: Defenetly a meaner sounding exhaust, H look is amazing, Qulity is top notch, customer service?? i will never go with any other Exhaust Company!!! TONY AT FAST INTENTIONS FTW!!!! he is the MAN...
THIS NEW X-PIPE IS DEF ORTH EVERY PENNY AND A MUST FOR ANY CURRENT FAST INT OWNERS WHO ARE LOOKING TO UPGRADE , YOU WONT REGRET IT. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT A CHANGE IN SOUND AND PERFORMANCE THIS SIMPLE UPGRADE MADE... BIG THUMBS UP TONY...

What you have in that pic is the older Magnaflow X-pipe that FI was using
The new one designed by FI for our application is said to have a deeper tone and nicer gains as opposed to that universal one you have in that pic

I'm really only talking about the X section in general. I was always lead to believe that an x like that was a "true x" rather than ones like the old Invidia pipe, etc, and that the function of the x was to facilitate exhaust gas crossover for sound and gains. Or not?
The Bassani I had on my old car looked similar to the magnaflow x:
