Fast Intentions exhaust is here! (continued)

I'm considering switching my order from CF 18" to CF 12" because after watching some videos, it doesn't seem like the CF 18" really roar unless you step on it.

I'm considering switching my order from CF 18" to CF 12" because after watching some videos, it doesn't seem like the CF 18" really roar unless you step on it. I'm looking for something that purrs even at low RPMs, but I am wondering if the in-cabin noise of the 12"s will be that much louder that conversations/music will be hard to hear.

*I don't plan on adding HFC/TP in the future

I second that. Had mine for just under a month and I think I'm about $2.5k down. Seriously considering this exhaust with CF mufflers and 18" resonators. Maybe I'll wait until I can be #777. That'd be epic.

Why wait? The longer you wait to place an order the longer you will be waiting for your exhaust.

Quit torturing yourself listening to clips, reading about how epic this exhaust is and just call Blake or Tony and at least put a down and get you on the list if you don't have all if it up front.. That way you can spread your payments. That's what I did.

Do it! You won't be disappointed, especially if you still have the stock cats. I swapped my order from 18" SS to 12" CF and it was one of the best decisions I made. Conversation/music is not a problem (which I was worried about), even with the slight drone you get in the 2000rpm range. I have mine paired with the Berk HFC's and feel like I could have gone non res CF and been fine.

Just my ...
