Cheers. Plan was to keep stock cats (for now) with possibility (albeit a small one) of upgrading them later.

Decisions, decisions...

Spoke with Tony yesterday and he said there's no real difference in noise *outside* the car between the 12" and 18" resonators if you go with unresonated HFCs but that the sound *inside* the car would be considerably louder.

I'm going to go ahead and leave it with unresonated HFCs and the resonated 18" cans. My ship date is next Wed/Thurs!

correct, the resonators effect the noise inside the cabin.

I just got off the phone with Tony, spoke to him about possibly switching from 18" CF to 12" CF to add a bit more outside noise whilst minimising inside drone.

Won't go into too much detail unless someone's interested (PM me) but I'm sticking with the 18" CF system and will look at resonated HFCs later down the track if its not loud enough for my liking.

Highly recommend giving him a call if you've got any queries... His expertise and advice is excellent and I can now head to bed with my mind at ease

I previously posted a vid of mine with CF cans on the CBE and HFC's 18" resonated throughout

asdfsammich · 11-13-2012, 09:10 PM

Did you get cbe first, then add hfc's, or did you install both at the same time?

Don't think that's accurate. I'm #602. I spoke to Tony 2 days ago and was told my exhaust/cats are shipping next Wed. Thurs/Fri are holidays too.

norm · 11-15-2012, 02:41 PM

I'm 600, haven't been notified yet.

Thats what Tony told me on the phone today when I called in the payment in full.. Weird. I think they generally make one set per day from what I understand...

594 here. Got it installed last Friday at FI close to where I work. I am quite pleased with my combination. I have Resonated HFC and the Non resonated TDX with carbon fiber cans. It is loud and took some getting used to. Low gears at 2.5k to < 3k rpm has this crazy low notes in the cabin. In cabin resonant frequency at this rpm range is probably between 90 to 120 hz at about 70 to 75 db I'm guessing. Sounds awesome this exhaust. My wife and kids could tell Im coming home. i can hear the car scream on the freeway. Add SRM to the mix and it's heaven! Car has better torque and pull. I love my 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th gears so much! The Takeda CAI and the FI exhaust combo really brings it together. Sorry no video (yet) but have pix to show later.

I like the discreet look of the cf cans. I see a cf diffuser to match it. The car attracts so much attention as it is and do not want to add a shiny pc of metal on my behind screaming look at my pipes please and listen closely too!

For those on the fence, time to get on the bus. Nuff Zed.

Quick question, what's a good product to clean the exhaust? Eagle One Never Dull?
