Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

Is there a big difference in sound between the 12" and 18" resonators? Is 18" going to be too quite, like stock? I don't want it too loud but don't

18" will be great for you. They are NOT too quiet.

^^ Sweet.

You wouldn't happen to have any video clips of your setup, would you? I tried searching YouTube but there's only a handful with the 18" resos, and they weren't that great. One is just normal driving and the other one the guy had RTP.

It's street legal. Most aftermarket exhaust are. Unless your exhaust is through the roof loud. But even still, I see muscle cars around my area all the time with the loudest freaking exhausts and they never seem to get pulled over. Also, to my knowledge, exhausts don't alter emissions much, so you're good.

Now, HFCs and TPs are a different story.

I'm #137 and I ordered it about a week and a half ago. Mine's due end of may to mid June.
I've decided to get the 18" Resonated with CF mufflers paired with FI Hi-Flow Resonated Cat/Pipes.
Has anyone else got this combo? I'm hoping the 2x resonated will only affect the volume and not the Famous FI 'voice' of the car.

^^ Not that I know of but I too am considering the RHFCs. I ordered my exhaust (SS w/18" resos) yesterday. I may add the RHFCs to the order later on. We'll see

I have some serious issues, I just ordered the other day, and I can't stay out of this thread. I'm not even sure what I expect to see, but it doesn't matter! Ordered 18" + CF and HFC's.

I got this thread setup to send emails on my Blackberry every time there's a new post. So I get all excited, rush to the forums only to find out there's no updates from Tony, lol.
