As some of you guys know, I acquired an FVD exhaust from a fellow 6Speeder. I was wondering once the exhaust is installed, should the tips be sitting so low compared to the stock tips. It seems like it could be an inch closer to the bottom cutouts for the tips. Just wondering if this is the nature of this exhaust. Thanks.

 

Here is a pic of my tips with my FVD exhaust... They are only slightly lower, shouldn't be that much?? You can adjust the tips upward a bit, try loosening them and banging them up with a rubber mallet.

nice jet...

 

Thanks Evan, I will look them tonight. It just seems the exhaust is sitting too low, so of course the tips are low.

 

How do you like the sound? What model is it and what cats 100 or 200, and can you feel a power difference?

 

Hey mikerosi, I really like the sound. I think it is a medium version, and believe it has 200 cell cats. It does seem to drone at 2100-2700 rpms, but is not too bad unless under some load...ie: going up a hill slowly. Anway, as in power, I did seem to notice it spools alot quicker and adds a few more hp. It is kinda mild then screams at WOT.

 

I liked my fabspeed.... but then I like loud cars.... I used to have other exotic exhausts on my ferrari and Lambo... like TUBI exhaust.... but for the money I think its great... then I wanted more so I kept the 100 cats and did custom pipes:

 

the above set up can now be bought from fabspeed. Just put on my car, fabspeed 100 cell cats and their straight pipe which accepted by factory tips. this was also half the price of a standard new exhaust, lighter, less backpressure, and more hp!!! Dont need to do your own "custom" pipe anymore.....Very loud and sounds awesome, but I too like loud cars!!
