You know, honestly, it's really hard to say because I've never actually heard the 18's in person, so I can't give a you straight forward answer. I will, however, say that the 12" is a tad too quiet for my taste (don't get me wrong, the sound is amazing), and wish I had gone non-resonated. I do plan on getting either HFC's or Long Tubes sometime in the future, but after seeing SeeYaBud's 12"+HFC combo, I kinda wish I had gone with the 18" (not a fan of the rasp). I believe I made the right choice going with the 12". People driving behind me says that the exhaust cans are BEAUTIFUL, but it's not loud enough! They all love the deep growl, though.

I hope this wasn't too confusing.

Can customers request custom exhaust tips ( HKS Hi power style)?

^^^Kinda curious of that myself. I was wondering what a J's racing turn down would look like. Only reason I ask is since I took the cats out, the bumper on my PW gets pretty yellowed. I thought maybe that the turn downs might help minimize that a little. Just a crazy thought.

Given the right amount of $$$ I'm pretty sure F.I. will do anything within reason.

Sold 2 more today! #181 &182. I will update the list soon...

Thanks, Tony

#181 is all me!

Only had the Z for a week and already needed an upgrade. I went w/ HFC's and 18" resonators on the CBE. Hurry up August! Thanks again Tony!

Thx man! It was actually pretty helpful. I'm gonna stay with my 12's

So, 12" with LTH will probably rasp big time, huh?

Juruki · 06-08-2010, 05:28 PM

In some youtube videos it does sound too raspy for me...
I like how it sounds on this one thou:

Videos lie! Jk... lol. Yeah, it sounds pretty damn sweet in that clip... I guess it just depends on the mic you're using.

Guys, another question about the FI exhaust....
People are telling me that there is a difference in the sound of the exhaust based on if u buy CF mufflers or not. That didn't make any sense to me because I thought all they are doing is changing the material to carbon, which shouldn't make a real difference in sound. Is the statement about the sound change true because it just seems wrong???

Thanks

The carbon fiber is the sleeve to the muffler it is not an overlay. The sound escapes easier through the carbon fiber and is absorbed better through the stainless steel. They sound very similar and most people will not be able to tell the difference. I designed the system and have heard more combinations than anyone. This is how I am able to know the difference.

Its too bad you cant have some sort of mock up in the shop of the differing setups that someone could listen to them all individually, and pick out what combination they like...

I know that would prolly cost a ton, and use alot of resources, but you have to admit, as a vendor, I would think it could be great for helping the unsure make a good choice cause they know what they are getting before its on their car.

Just thinking out loud Tony lol [/Derail]
