I'm wondering because I'm probably gonna have to trade my Litespeed exhaust if I go down that path. It's already loud enough with stock headers+cats.
18" might not even cut it to be honest with headers/TPs... Resonators don't necessarily quiet the whole exhaust, it kills "annoying" sounds like drone
At the same time how loud is loud for you, from what I have heard, LiteSpeed drones like a motherfùcker and is loud as all hell when you step on it.
On my car my Stillen exhaust is ok, no complaints. When I added TPs, it was a TOTALLY new exhaust, that thing SCREAMED, I could deafen people when downshifting.
All that beating said, you NEED 18" from what you've stated
