So if I can't find someone local to hear one in person so I can hear it inside the car as well. Then I will probably go with the 18". Then it will be HFC or TP's. Decisions Decisions.

Anyone disagree and want to talk me into going with the 12" and I won't be disappointed? I want it louder than stock with a nice sound which the FI delivers. I just don't want to have any drone while cruising around town as this is my DD. So there lies my dilemma. Anyone who has heard both in person and can comment on how much louder the 12" is over the 18" please do.
I had the same dilemma.
Went with the 12" with stock cats. Couldn't be happier. No drone at all. Even the wife loves it. I would rather have it a little bit louder thank be disappointed that it's not loud enough.

while I agree, if you really are worried about it being to loud you could start with the 18" resonators and then add HFCs or TPs to get the volume you are looking for if you need more!

Good point, although I had no desire to mess with the stock cats.

I had briefly discussed an x-pipe with 100 cell cats to get rid of the smell when I go long tubes. He seemed willing to fab up just an x-pipe then.

I am #475 and haven't got any tracking info yet. So hopefully that tells everyone were they are on the builds.

Everyone who is waiting, be patient.... It will be worth it in the end!

What was you're scheduled ship date? Trying to figure out if it shipped towards the end or the beginning of the two week window. Just trying to figure out if I should start getting excited yet. Mine is 4/3-4/17, so its' getting pretty close.
