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.

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.
