the hiss is actually pretty cool except people will always think you're boosted. thank you sir. yea the color was hard to find for me too. lots of searching and I ended up buying it in Louisiana and drove it straight home 1300~ miles back to Pittsburgh.

I've had my order in for a couple weeks now and I keep going back and forth in my mind between the 12" resonated vs. non-resonated exhaust.
This is no longer my daily driver car, but I do intend to daily drive it in the summer, because why not? With that said, I want the exhaust to be definitely louder than stock so that it's obvious to others around me, but I don't want it to be painful/uncomfortable for the average daily commute of 8-9 miles each way to work, with a brief stint on the highway. People throw the exotic word around a lot and I'd really like that to be the overall sound. At the end of the day, if I got the non-resonated version and it was a little louder than I expected, I wouldn't be all that upset. I think I would be upset if I got the 12" resonated version and it wasn't quite loud enough. For reference, I've got no plans to ever change from the stock cats - this is mostly a change for appearance/sound, as opposed to true performance. I feel like this is a decision I've been trying to make for quite a long time now - can anybody help a guy out? |

Well, I can tell you that PPE headers and FI TDX non-resonated was not pleasant for me. The drone was just too much and the Z is not my DD. Not sure if the drone is there with stock cats.

If you even think for a second that you would be disappointed with the 12" resonated, think no more. Go non-res. I was in exactly the same place as you and literally one week before my exhaust was to be built I went non-res and carbon fiber, with stock cats. Absolute best decision I made for the exhaust. Here is a video I made about a week after I had the exhaust. Listen with headphones or stereo for best quality. I will have had the exhaust for a year in about 4 days and it is my daily driver in a city with a lot of cops; of course I don't romp on it when they are around though . It still doesn't get old, I drive with the windows down every day!!! Better than any music I could play. Good luck with whichever you choose.

Hey RoyaltyB, I actually have my order in for a FI SS with 12" Res right now, and I've also been debating about whether I should've placed an order for the non-res instead. I've just been worried that it would be too unbearable inside lol I don't know. But I'm also worried if I get the 12 Res that I wont be able to hear it enough. Right now I can't hear the stock at all which is partly why I wanna get the new exhaust. I want to be able to hear it just don't want it to be unbearable. So unsure!!!! However, I thought once the order was placed I can't downgrade, wouldn't that be considered downgrading? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You'll be fine with what you got if you are worried about interior volume.

I've been running the F.I. LTHs with 18" res and am looking into swapping to non-res. Does anybody have any video of non-res with the LTHs?
