I have the FI LTH, 12" resonators, cbe and G3 cai. The ceramic coating helps keep the heat in the tubes, increasing exhaust velocity. Which is best is a personal choice. They all make about the same gains. You also forgot about the Z1 shorty's. They make about the same power.

Which ever you choose. Remove the O2 sensors first! DO NOT USE an impact gun on them. The right side will take you about 1.5 hours, counting beer breaks. The left side will take you 6+ hours and lots of cussing. It's best to move the manifold and down pipe together as one. This way, you don't have to mess with the demon bolts. Solder the wire extension together for the O2 sensors. Don't cheap out here.

Been there, done that!
I'm going to +1 with rusty on the fact that the driver side sucks all the **** not as much space like the passanger side. That side wasn't bad at all. as far as the demon cat bolts i did my headers when i only had 5k ish miles on the car so they came off without too much headache, so i lucked out there. I had an RC hobby shop extend my O2 sensors so didn't have to worry much. I went with fast intentions LTH and wrapped them myself. Yes there is a little bit of rasp but I've learned to get used to it. won't have that issue anymore once my turbos are on

Rusty and NismOrly22 like this.
