I personally run the Ark Grip CBE w/stock cats and love it. I think it sounds deeper than the FI and it has less interior drone (barely any actually). |

Last question - any difference between 12" and 18" resonator? Sorry I'm not an expert on exhaust systems yet. Just want to learn what I should expect if I go with one size or the other.

There is a car in my car port/parking lot in my apartment complex that has a sensitive horn when it comes to anything. This car now parks on the other side of the parking lot because in the morning when I cold start, if it was within 5 or 6 cars of me the alarm would go off lol. Owner got pissed at me once lol. I revved my engine again setting her alarm off again lol As for the resonators, it helps to attempt break up the sound of each combustion into more of hum sound and mellows it a bit as it passes through the CBE. Also gives a deeper sound with that conversion of combustion.

Op,
This can give you an idea of the varoius exhausts setups. I strongly suggest hitting up a local meet so you can get first hand experience with how they look and sound. Videos sometimes doesn't do them justice. 370Z Exhaust Sound Clip data base |

OP, for the money, performance and sound you cant beat FI. Throw on some nice HFC (assuming you dont want to swap test pipes all the time) and the sound will be amazing. I've heard it on a nismo once around here, managed to chat with him at a Chili's and he had a FI 18 res, Berk HFC and G3's. I nearly melted.. Never thought I would hear it before I had it

Honestly, The Tanabe Medallion exhaust is amazing. It's like the stock exhaust tone from a 350Z/G35 but louder and more aggressive. Zero drone or rasp. Very high quality as the rest of the products.
