"This is like night and day!"

"F.A.I.C. rules!"

"My Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200C sounds 100 times better than my stock system! The bike accelerates faster, has more horsepower, and runs better since I've changed to the F.A.I.C. exhaust system. I do not have the carboration system dialed in yet, but Jeffo gave me carboration specs and said it should run even better when that is complete. It's amazing that I can obtain even more power!"

"I never heard a better sounding pipe!"

"This thing accellerates like a rocketship! It lifts the wheel in first gear!"

"I had a lot of after market bike exhausts and the F.A.I.C. performs like nothing I have ever purchased before! The horsepower and torque gains are outstanding as well as the looks! A friend of mine has a Honda 1100 Shadow with Bub's and no baffles. His bike is louder than my V-Rod with the F.A.I.C. wide open (no restrictions). The F.A.I.C. low-end performance is incredible. You would think that the sprocket had been changed to a 28 tooth, but it hasn't."

"I'm a horsepower nut. I like to test new products. Everybody says that they have the best, so I test them, some work, most don't. I have a 2001 Dyna Harley-Davidson 95 cubic inch. I've always found that Screaming Eagle is one of the best, for three years. I've been producing 101 to 110 horsepower with different pipes. But it was time for more and I didn't want to stroke it. I was reading an article in Cycle World's Power and Performance and there was an article on Pipe Shoot-outs. I saw this pipe and thought it had a very unique look, however the numbers were very good. I was at the AMI Shootout at Bike Week 2004 in Daytona and I met a guy from Hemi Design that was running this F.A.I.C. pipe. He explained to me how it worked, and he had done big numbers, and the bike had a good sound. So it was time to re-build my top end.

So I called Hemi Design wanting their top end and an F.A.I.C. pipe; I just had to have more horsepower! So I bought a Hemi Design 95 kit and the F.A.I.C. pipe. But first, I wanted to see for myself where the horsepower was coming from, so I built it, and went to the Dyno with two pipes. The first was a Thunder Header that I made the best horsepower with over the years. I tuned the Hemi motor to the Thunder Header and did good numbers; 110.77 HP and 105.49 torque. Next, it was time to test the F.A.I.C. pipe and within 45 minutes, it was time to see if it was a show or go. I had talked to Jeff Lampert, the pipe designer, and he gave me the jetting to start with and said it should be close. It was on the money. It jumped to 118.19 HP and 108.10 torque, over the Thunder Header (The oil temperature ran 196 degrees, and all tests were done on 87 degree days). There was more in it, but I did not have the hemi Design breather on, so the moral of this story is this; if you want more horsepower and your bike to run cooler, you need an F.A.I.C. pipe.

If you have any doubts to this story, try it. The proof is in the Dyno, and the seat of your pants. In all short of it, I need someone worth racing and if you don't have the F.A.I.C. pipe, you'll finish behind me and I'll have your money.

Thanks Jeff and F.A.I.C.!"

140 hp and 155 ft lbs. Mark’s Exotix Lives!

"The Kendall Johnson powered, Kosman-framed Exotix monster bike finally sprang to life again. After replacing the pistons and honing things out, the mechanical arthritis acquired after sitting for a long period was cured and Kendall’s technician Zach got the super street hot rod running. After what was hopefully something resembling a careful break-in, the Exotix was thrown on the dyno to check the output of the phase two Kendall Johnson S&S motor with the Forced Air Induction Collector (FAIC) two-into-one pipe (www.faic.cc). The results were outstanding from my perspective and should make the pipe maker pretty happy. The new pipe with its forward facing scoop in front of the collector produced about 10 lbs more torque than other two-into-ones run on Kendall’s phase two motors. It was down about 5 peak horsepower from the D&D horsepower king, but Zach mentioned he thought it was a decent trade out for anything short of drag racing. FAIC is fairly confident that with the scoop sucking in air at speed, his horsepower number would go up. Now that the technical end of the bike has been nailed down, I’m going to start on the cosmetics and re-make the bike to my own liking. I’m absolutely not sure which way to go at this point but look forward to getting the bike set up with my own choice of tank, bars, fenders, tires, seat, and controls. Hey, that’s what this sport is about."
