Make sure you guys and gals go back under your car and re-tighten all the nuts and bolts. I went under my car today and found one bolt and two nuts were missing. I had to go to home depot and buy 66c worth of 3/8 nuts and bolt. They don't have the big flat end like the ones that came with the kit but it will hold until I find the correct ones.

Picked up my car today, number 1002 (was installed Friday). Wow, my car sounds like an angry badger. Love the sound.

The only issue I'm having with my non-resonated/no cats setup is certain RPM's and throttle positions cause me to hit a tone with my exhaust that resonates the glass in the back. I'm looking into dynamatting the floor in rear hatch. I'm sure it will get worse once I go test pipes, but I expected something like this.

After about a month, the exhaust has quieted down a lot (which is good IMO, exactly what I wanted). 18" res.

I find it interesting that some days it is quitter then others. I have not pinpointed a consistent reason for it.

I have also started to hear a pop pop sound when the revs are dropping. I know it is backfire, but not sure if anything can be done about it. Is it because the air/fuel ration has changed?

I think a lot of us that have ordered FI resonated TDX were on the fence about what size resonator to get, 12 or 18. I'm in that boat, with about 3 more weeks to wait on my 18" res (spoke with FI today, currently on about #1020). I've listened to all the youtube clips until I'm blue in the ear, but still haven't definitively made up my mind. When I spoke with them today, I found out this little nugget that I don't think has been shared enough. If non-res was a 10, and stock was a 0, 18" res would be about a 3, and 12" would be a 7-8. Resonators cut down total noise, not only interior.

With that said, do I want to spend $1400 on a 30% audible increase (albeit a much larger percentage increase in tone quality)? Yes, I'm considering res HFC and Stillen G3 intakes, but only considering. I'm not a fan of the HFC hiss. When you total up RHFC, G3's, Uprev, and labor, we're getting real close to $2000 additional dollars to gain some HPs and dB's. I would hate to feel lacking a few months into owning the exhaust and feel the need to spend that type of cash.

What's your opinion?

I think that 3 for the 18" is a bit low, I'd say more like 4 to 5. It is still plenty loud, especially on WOT.

But then again I have never heard the other two options in person. It is all relative I guess.

I wanted to have a good sound, but still be at or below 80 decibels (legal limit here). I think 18" was exactly what I was looking for, maybe even louder then I expected. I did not want to disrupt my immediate neighbourhood with too much noise. At any rate pedestrians still hear me if I rev (they did not with stock) and my family can still tell from two blocks away that I am coming home.

So feeling how I do about the level of noise from 18", I cannot even imagine how crazily loud the other two are.

I have a neighbour with a stock G35 across the street, which is louder then our stock exhaust. My 18" is way louder then her stock G35.
