sound level for FI CBE

conor1123 · 11-13-2013, 06:59 PM

I originally ordered the 18s but bought the 12s off another member just to see what the difference was. It seemed pretty minimal to be honest, it gives the idle a little more growl but i think the main difference is with the AC on. The 12s can get pretty loud. People are really aggressive when i have the AC on because it seems like im reving it out but im not

Guess that goes for any loud exhaust hah!

I really enjoy the 12s though, it brung up the volume enough for me to where its not completely ridiculous. I can still drive it keeping the volume down but whenever i want to make some noise it isn't hard

I can try to get a video in cabin with windows down and up maybe.

Does AC makes a difference on the exhaust tone? That's something new I heard. but video would be nice

I've done a lot of searching on the forum but I didn't see much information comparing the volume of each FI exhaust. Perhaps this can be an informative post for everyone later on.
I think from all the videos I watched 18'' is too quiet for me. If 12'' and 18'' make not much difference. I will just for the non-res

Not really the tone of the exhaust, the volume. Like Chuck said, higher rpm and more load if i am correct?
