After installing my non-res, I can set off multiple car alarms in my school parking lot just by hitting 3k RPM. Love it.....

I just cannot decide on 12" or 18"

Can anyone tell me how loud the 12" is during idle and conservative driving?

If you are concerned with "loudness" at all I think you would want an 18''. Best bet is to call Tony there and he will give you a loudness test to figure out what would be best for you.

I ended up getting an Ark Grip used (which I love btw.. silent @ cruising speed, and very low rumble @ idle, and growls when accelerating).. but I would of gotten a FI if I had not come across a decent deal.

That sounds like about what I want. I do a lot of 30-50mph speeds because I live very close to work and school.

I just feel like I should be able to handle 12" if people are getting non res and are content with it. But I don't know

I guess talking to him would help a lot. And ultimately you only know for if you get to hear it in person haha

Either way its going to be louder then stock.

I think the 18" just gets under the 85 decibel law.

I picked up a used FI exhaust, SS with 18" resonators, from a member on here and had it installed today. After reading through this thread, I fully expected it to not be loud enough and to plan on getting HFCs to up the volume a little. I was wrong. I wanted an exhaust that not only sounded great, but wasn't obnoxious when driving at lower speeds through my neighborhood, had a nice noticeable volume response even when just lightly applying throttle, and could scream above 5000rpm. This exhaust does it all for me. My point is that...compared to stock...the 18" is neither tame nor quiet.

I could certainly be happy with 12" resonators and get along fine without annoying the neighbors. To be honest, as I get used to it, I might want to increase the volume a little bit at some point. But if you're worried about it being too loud, then I don't think you would be disappointed going with either 18" or 12". The 18" is a very noticeable upgrade from stock. Personally, I don't think non-res would've been a good fit for me. I'm not getting drone in the cabin and the volume of the exhaust comes through just enough to replace the usual road noise I hear. The road noise was annoying...this exhaust note is not. Net positive there.

I have 12" res. and love them. At idle after warm up is fairly quiet. A little louder at cold start. At low rpm it's not that loud but has a nice deep tone. In the 4k-6k range is the sweet spot to me. Loud but not crazy loud. Up around redline, I don't really hear just the exhaust, everything is screaming... Hope it helps some. Have you listened to the different options on youtube? It's not like in person, but it helped me decided. Tony is also helpful with helping you decide.
You can't go wrong with any of the options, it's a beautiful system in all ways.
