Depends on your taste in sound. I have HFC, and GEN3 intake, and I know that it would sound obnoxious (personally), and that is why I went with the 18" res. I still want a nice sound but don't need the typical fart can racer noise.(not refering to the FI 12" res ) Not appealing to me...just my

I have the Berk HFC's with stock exhaust and it's on the louder side of my taste. But I still don't know how they will sound, who knows, maybe they will be too quite. Different strokes for different folks. I think that is the beauty of Tony's system, you can custom tailor it to your liking.

Will the 18" resonators have less ground clearance (read closer to the ground) than the 12" resonators..???

Test Pipes will always be louder than HFCs. HFC have a core, a cat is still there. Test Pipes are just hollow pipes. Nothing to interfere with the flow. Test Pipes will be louder, maybe not by a huge amount, but louder still. They will also net more power, not a LOT more power, maybe just 1-3 or 4 more HP but still more...

but im not talking about the open test pipe, im talking the resonated test pipe. the resonated test pipe will still be louder than the HFC?

A resonated test pipe is the same as a test pipe in design and lack of core with the exception that it has a section that is flared into a larger piping to help eliminate rasp. It'll will still be a straight through shot, no core, louder than HFC.

When I said Test Pipe in my post i was refering to either RTP or TP. RTPs should rasp less, TPs should more.

I'm with Fusz here, all I have on my car right is the Berk HFC's and I love the sound. Sounds stock with gentle driving, but gets pretty damn lout and aggressive at WOT.
