You all should be thanking HockeyZ39 for stepping up for you....All the guts and soon the glory to go with it!!

Welcome to it man!!

Rick

 

I know you don't prefer to talk about it but...do you have the hp/tq numbers for the headers and exhaust only...no engine work? A full exhaust with no drone is a dream come true...but I'd like to know expected gains.

You've been a big help, thanks.

 

Wouldn't be the first time we had "The Miracle Product" with no concrete evidence...

 

My engine mods were done well before this exhaust was on my car. None of the test cars or dyno's were from my car.

The Dyno's show everything but headers....Deviljon (the original test car) has not put his headers on yet, as far as I know....but maybe soon we'll have that info.

the path of flow looks excellent though it does look really nice. But price is kinda steep brothas. If u guys where at a more reasonable price it would sell alot more. THere are too many choices to be expensive for minimal gains. But i would love youir exhuast just price is kinda ..yea

 

+1 on the price.. it definitely needs to be lower.. plus, you guys are new, you can't expect to sell products at that price.. AND you should have an introductory sale anyway.. at least the other companies i've seen have done so..

 

OK - let me address a few things here - maybe it will help:

1 - WE DO HAVE A SALE GOING ON RIGHT NOW! IT'S A GREAT GROUP BUY AND IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT...YOU SHOULD LOOK!

Group Buy info: https://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=190252

2 - This system is hand built - not in China by 50 people in a line - but by the designers of the system here in California.

3 - Only the highest quality materials have been used - no compromise - no slip fit clamps, etc. - all flanged and custom fit for the car. G35 and 350Z are 2 completely different systems here.

4 - Grade A customer service - not a huge customer service nightmare.

Bottom line - product and service the way it should be - responsive and customer centric.

I hope I'm answering the questions and concerns. Let's keep this going...

Rick

 

Hey all - the first system to come off the line a few weeks back for the G35 was just installed by the customer in Florida - check out the thread he just started...

I already know about the sale... but even with the group buy, it's still costly for a new product from a new vendor.. thas what i was saying.. but who knows, i might still buy it..

 

Honestly, you can't expect us to sell it at a loss and then raise the price later?

Imagine HKS selling their system for $1,000 just to get noticed - then suddenly raising it to $1,600...does that at all make any sense?


The product costs what it does because there is a lot of time that goes into it and high quality materials that also cost what their worth as well. These systems are not built in 2-3 hours by $5/hour people either, with $30 mufflers and $.50 pipe and $1 clamps. This is a high quality system, that wont take 3-4 months to get by the way either.

The system comes with the highest quality gaskets, hardware and CLEAR, EASY TO READ, AND IN COLOR, INSTRUCTIONS.

It's not the most expensive system out there, not the cheapest either, but it does everything we have said it does, and it does everything that all of you on the boards have been asking for in an exhaust system as well.

We offer lower priced versions, unlike most every other company out there...we're meeting the needs without sacrificing quality.

I understand the price can be out of reach for some, and saving a few hundred dollars can be very important in the end - for me and others I feel, settling on a system that just isn't right, that I have to hear day after day, would just make me mad as hell...and it has. That's why this system is now here....

Rick

 

I would also be interested in this exhaust if the price were significantly lower.

For now I'm going for high flow cats with the stock exhaust system and a tune, I'll think about you guys down the road though.

 

Hey - we appreciate that:

If you're looking for us to cheap the system out and sacrifice quality and service and workmanship to make a stainless system for $800 - it won't happen.

18 Gauge pipe, slip fit clamps, POS components, is not what you'll ever find from Fast Intentions....and we hope that's what you'd expect.

The video clip has been posted by the customer in Florida who purchased the first off the line G35 system///check it out!!!!

damn.. that sounds pretty good.. hmmmm decisions decisions.. i need to gather up some more money!!

 

Hey all - about 12 days left on the Group Buy!!!

 

I think its nice what you all are trying to do, but I have to agree, it is alittle expensive for a new exhaust, especially one that is a new company. Borla, Stillen have been around longer and are a trusted company, with nonstop proven results. I am intrested in a new exhaust and this is my next mod, that I am going to buy soon. The companies that I am looking at are Borla and Stillen, for their TD systems. I would rather spend money on a company that is proven then a new company that has just started and are the same price. WHy would I spend my money on something that no one has heard of vs the same money on a product that people already have. It doesn't make since. I agree with the other members of the board, sometimes you have to bite the bullet and sell it less until you have gained the attension and respect you deserve, then you can charge whatever you want. Just call it a "new model," and there is no worry. I wish you nothing but the best and hope your company succeeds.

 

Sometimes things change... This looks like a very good (better?) product... The Group Buy is a good deal...

 

I told them the exact same thing a while ago and they told me why they were selling their products at the price they are now.. It makes sense, but I still want it cheaper. That way, I wouldn't have to wait until I have that much money, and just buy it now.

 

Guys - honestly - if the price is too high, even at the group buy pricing - then I guess your just not going to buy it at all for your Z's. AND telling any business to start out by giving away a product low, and then raising it's price once they are known and saying "oh it's version 2", is pretty ludicrous, dishonest and backhanded.

AGAIN - The group buy allows you to get a great deal at a price you'll NEVER SEE AGAIN - and that leaves nothing behind but integrity. We've been nothing but up front and completely honest from day one...and will remain that way always.

If a name like HKS or Stillen makes an exhaust worth it's price - regardless of how it sounds, or drones, leaves you unhappy with customer service, or having to wait 4-6 months to get the exhaust to begin with, etc etc...then make that choice and don't buy our exhaust - but that's just silly and makes NO SENSE.

BUT, if you are tired of all those bad things, and can't figure out why your willing to put up with bad noise, drone, and bad customer service, ricey exhaust sounds you really don't want in the end (but because everyone else likes it I may as well buy it) -

If you want your car to be something special, that stands out and isn't the same as everyone else's, that makes people say 'wow, what was that and what did you do to that thing?" then make that decision.

The group buy allows you to save $400 - $600 or more from those other systems NOW, not later, so don't miss the opportunity. Look at the G35Driver threads and PM some of those guys, if you haven't. This exhaust was originally designed for 350Z's, because you asked for it...and now your hiding from it.

There's an opportunity here - and your missing it. If you want to PM me - because you think other members are gonna flame you or something - go ahead - I'll keep it confidential. I'd hate to see anyone who really wants to get on board miss out because of something like that.

Flaming other Companies products is very unprofessional!
