Do you want more sound inside and/or outside? You need to clarify what you can bear when deciding an exhaust.

FI is a great exhaust and quality build, but for me....the sound was not right. I wanted a setup more raw compared to a kitten.

Get their long tube headers. I did. But now I think my 12" res pipes are too much. Kinda want to make it louder.

I want the car to be loud outside not inside.

Im with you on this one. My non resonated test pipes just got finished and I have ARK grip, excited and nervous at the same time.

Yes I have considered non resonated, my thing is I like the loud of the exhaust but I want to be able to listen to my music when I want to. And I want to be able to hear my wife when she rides with me.

To add on what Kevin said and touch on what you want...

Personally, I am a big fan of our non resonated X Pipe with stock cats. It is such an exotic sounding exhaust note. Very "Euro" so to speak, however no rasp and very clean. As Kevin stated, the resonators with smoothen out the exhaust note and create depth along with quieting the interior cabin noise. They will "slightly" quiet the overall note down from the outside the car but the main effect is interior.

In terms of having it quiet inside the car and loud outside the car, that is a tall task for this car. As we all know, the noise canceling material lacks from the factory and the high amount of road noise stock is something to frown upon. BTW, it's not much better in the GTR! The 18" resonators are your best bet to keep the interior noise to a minimum and believe me, you will still here that exotic and smooth exhaust note from outside the car.

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to give us a call.

Thanks.

Tony, we should just start pointing people in the direction of the "FP Option"

but to add onto Tony's original point but the non-res set-up on the FI exhaust is amazing. my original set-up was non-res CBE and non-res TP which is a bit much for most but the sound Tony's exhaust makes in any of it's variations is just perfect. the fact that there is so many options to mix and match, just gives any customer the opportunity to create their own perfect set-up.
