Help with F.I. exhaust

Well I'm young too, only 22, so if I stick with the 18", I will let you know in a few weeks when they are installed, how they sound.

Everyone seems to be very happy with them. I just wish I could grab a 12" clip, but I haven't been able to find one around.

I posted an iphone video of 12" res SS setup in my little mini review in the main thread.

I don't think I can comment on the sound yet though because ambient temperature seems to mean a lot to this exhaust. I don't think I've driven it in temperatures above freezing yet. It quiets down a lot when it gets warmed up but when it's still cold there are some rpm/speed ranges where it sounds like a tractor to me.

Thanks for that!

I'd like to see other vids before I make my choice. I'm pretty sure I will be happy with either, though. I'm just dying to see one of someone driving around with 12"s.

I'm supposed to get FI resonated test pipes, CBE with 18" CF resonators on Thursday ...per the shipping info. I went with the resonated test pipes and 18" resonators to help mellow out (not get rid of) some of the low to low-mid range frequency noise. For me it not about how loud, but about sound quality.
