We’re going to try and make that happen with this install, if it aligns with our customers schedule. If not, we will make it happen at the earliest possible chance.

Thanks for the support, Rob! Pleasure having you at the shop to see the operation and exhaust.Disclaimer, this is not a paid advertisement, unless Tony wants it to be
I was fortunate to be to see/ hear/ feel/ drive The Fast Intentions Bronco today. This exhaust is top notch as I knew it would be having done business with Tony in years past. This exhaust is not obnoxious or loud. It has a great tone and the results for gains are unmatched for a similar product. Kevin really pulled out the stops on this seemingly simple piece of kit & the results are amazing. I heard no buzz ,no hiss, throughout the RPM range. Just smooth pleasant tone through out the RPM range.
This is not an exhaust that will wear you out when you are driving 12+ hours to MOAB or wherever your favorite trail destinations may be without having to keep the Costco sized Excedrin bottle close at hand. You won't be rolling by someone's trailside camp with some annoying fart can exhaust either.
Shifting to Baja mode and the RPMs stay on the pipe making the sound even more enjoyable but never drowning out a conversation under the soft top.
A lot of people will look at peak #'s which are rarely seen in real world driving. But Fast Intentions Axle Back exceeds any of torque #s I've seen out there. These guys did the work & it paid off. The below dyno snap shot shows a tremendous gain in both Torque & HP all the way through the RPM range where you want it to be. Pulling a hill, vehicle recovery, pulling big tires from a stop. The truck did not have the previously tested piggyback tuner when I drove it today & it was great.
Thank you Tony & Kevin for your time & hospitality today. I'll see you around the same time on Thursday to drop my deposit off. I'm sold.
Jason, my man, pleasure having you here. You were gracious enough to lend your time for detailed sound clips of the 2.3L. Thank you for that! We're excited to share them with the community and look forward to linking up again in the near future. Enjoy the exhaust man and keep enjoying those doors off.
jasony0269 can better attest to this than us, as he's had it installed for a few days. That said, the miles we put on it from the driver and passenger seat yielded a nice sound level inside the cabin. Full disclosure this bronco lives without door or top, so until those are installed for interior testing, or we ship one out to a customer, this is the most accurate assessment we have to go off of. But based on my experience with our exhaust and these broncos, I don't foresee interior cabin drone being prevalent on the 2.3L.
I don't know about the 2.3, but the 2.7 is not loud inside at all at 70-75 MPH, even in Baja Mode where the note gets throatier and a slight increase in volume, but never having to raise your voice in conversation. And that was with the soft top.
Tomorrow I will do a run on the freeway and pay attention and let you know. I will say driving home from the shop I was on the 118 and there was more wind noise then anything but I’ll confirm that tomorrow!
Appreciate the feedback...I have a Ford Performance/Borla Exhaust that sounds really good until you get on it...then it gets a little raspy but still sounds decent...I am def interested in this exhaust....is the exhaust note consistent throughout the rpm range or does it start to break apart when you gun it? Make sense? I dont know how else to explain it.
Hello my friend, disclaimer, I am an enthusiast not an expert. If I understand your question the exhaust is aggressive when you punch it but when it settles in at cruising speed, it mellows.
