Used Fast Intentions CBE damaged during shipment

Doesn't necessarily have to be TIG but I would recommend it for a cleaner weld and less chance of splatter getting on stuff. You'd probably have to find a shop

Exhaust is on and wow, the sound is amazing especially at high rpms. Very deep and exotic. Looks even better.

There is some noticeable drone on the highway around 65mph and it's quite loud in the cabin upon acceleration around 2k rpm. I have the system with 12" resonators.

Anyone with 18" resonators can chime in and tell me their experience regarding the sound of the system? I might switch the X pipe to the 18". Would it make a big difference?

Just a TINY bit loud for my taste! (And the gf )

Switching out your resonators to 18" will definitely help with the loudness and a bit with the drone. Check the for sale page, 18" resonators come up every once in awhile. Also, make a post for an even trade (might be faster).

I have the 18" w/integrated HFC's. Got it from M.Bonani second hand. Buttttt I have the catless test pipes too. At first it was loud and the drone seemed too much. But then I remembered the Mac Pro dumps on my husbands old fox body.... The loudness/drone of the FI doesn't even compare to that. I've had this exhaust on for a few months now and I don't even notice the increase sound anymore... Just becomes... Normal.
