yea I didn't know at first either it's all info that was learned.

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.

Neurosis,

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?

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

This sounds beautiful! I decided to go with 18" resonators, because I'm pairing it with a set of resonated Test Pipes. Everything's been sitting in my basement for a couple months now because of winter. Hopefully it's loud enough but without drone!

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?

In a month or 2, I will be installing my BP kit and my car will be in hover mode for days. You can test my non non-results section on your car for a day or two if you come and get it yourself. I'll hold your 18" as collateral. I'm interested in how your car will sound With non res too. Ron was installing the rear differential bushing the last time I saw your car. McLean car was epic on the dyno that day.
