Stop being so helpful and let me do my job!

Let's be real, SS cans - lots of people have them. CF sound is unbelievable. If you want exclusive plus great, unique sound, go with CF. Just yesterday, as I drove down the ramp, a Lambo (track car #25 yellow) drove next to me revved it up signalling to do the same. I obliged and we gave each other a thumbs up. Cool dude. I thought I saw Pau Gasol but I know he would not fit that little car. His sounded a pitch higher and louder of course but man it was a Lambo.

Forget the one's who discourage you saying CF cracks. That's a load of manure. SS or CF you'll ruin it if you're not careful. Good luck.

++ on the CF cans.

I had a 2013 Audi RS5 follow me then pull up next to me to let me know how sick the exhaust sounded and how the CF cans were also "sick" haha.

Then that V8 AWD monster engaged launch control and disappeared into the twisties on sunset blvd.

i went TP for price basically. LTH are 900 more then my TP. also even with the demon bolt the TP are easier to install. plus i found i like the TP sound better than the sound that LTH produce.

Thanks! That is a big help! With your non res cbe and tp is it loud inside cabin? Let us put it when you are listening music? Is it too loud that you couldn't appreciate the song? Thanks! Why non res for you?

djtodd · 03-20-2013, 09:18 PM

I have the resonated HFCs. The sound from inside isn't intrusive at all. No overwhelming drone or anything. And that's with all the sound deadening stripped out...

When you put your foot in it though...sweet music!

axmea? · 03-20-2013, 09:22 PM

I have HFC and non res CF. Loud as heck but who cares. I have a bag of ear plugs on the passenger side cubby for those who mind. Plus I have a bose nc headset for my wife. Works great.

Well I listen to my music loud. Younger guy and love music. But even at normal music volume it's fine. There's a 1/4 mile inside cabin vid on my YouTube.
