Yes it is for looks; however, obviously exhaust still flows out of it so it is being used. Its not nearly as bad as the MBenzs I've seen with just a pair of tips on the passenger side, and when viewed from the side or below you can see where the tips end and the pipes never begin. Especially funny on a C230 or something similar.

Back to my car......

I can't wait to get the exhaust system. Coming from a V8 it kills me how quiet this car is. The guys at FI do such good work.

Mine is the prototype.

Fast Intentions does great work and I know it will come out perfect. I can't give you a price beecause I don't know what it will be.

The only thing I can tell you for sure is you are going to want it after next weekend

Awesome. They do great work and will tweak it until you are 100% happy.

I know supersprint and the other brands make a good product but FI has a great product and great people that are behind it from experience.

All I can say is OMFG!!!!!

This thread is now useless with out a sound clip.
Anyone coming to the the GTG this weekend will be blown away by how great this car can sound.

We went from just after the Xpipe back. Did not take out or replace the cats.

There is a connection after the Xpipe inbetween the mufflers. That was also replaced however in production I don't think Danny will do it.

Looks great. Sounds MMMazing

This is what happened:

If any of you know Danny from FI then skip this part of the story as you already know it.....
Danny left Labree to start his company. He is one of the few honest, hard working and get's shit done on time Car Mod guy's I know.
I haven't heard a car that came out of his shop that I didn't like.


So case in point:
I was out of town on business when he called me and explained the situation.
I told him he could do anything he wanted from the engine back.
He called me and honestly told me that the piping was done really well and the cat's were some of the best cats he ever saw. He even told me he would like to put them on his truck!

So his suggestion was leave everything up to the end of the Xpipe. So he custom bent the pipes post Xpipe and put on sebring mufflers and his own tips.

Car is honestly amazing. For people who don't want it loud then I would suggest a different muffler.

The next step is replacing or taking off cats.

Danny said that nasty M3 rasply sound is really prevelant when the cats are off. I dislike that sound. So this is where its going to be till the Lambo is in the drive way

Can someone record a couple clips for me this weekend so I dont have to search for my camera.

Waiting to hear the clips.
I might surprize you by saying that Sebring mufflers are Remus mufflers.
