I know... too predictable. Thanks for the gimmie Brantly.

Was thinking 12" resonated but honestly not sure of the difference between 18" and 12". Care to help?

For those interested in my seating arrangement in the Z:

18" is plenty loud. 12" wil be slightly louder maybe more drone too (0-10 scale stock is 1, 18" can be 5, 12" can be 7 and non res can be 10")

Also, straight from Tony: it's much easier to upgrade in the future than to find out it's too loud and try to downgrade.

also, what are you looking for as far as sound?

Does your model have the lumbar support?
(Not sure if that is only a Touring model feature)

Yes, I started to write, "Pontiac Vibe," but I thought, "Who hasn't seen or heard of a Vibe?"

Definitely something to consider for me. I'm ok with semi loud but doubt the neighbors would be. As far as sound, I want something that sounds better than the spouse's 350Z.

I believe that's touring only but to be honest, I don't really know. It wouldn't help too much anyway. Scoliosis FTW!

Yeah, Zman pretty much nailed it. 12" is going to be louder than the 18". Non-resonated even louder still. 12" and non-resonated will also have drone while at cruising speed. My biggest concern was going with something that would be loud if I put my foot in it, while being quiet at speed.

Tony definitely made a good point when he said that it's easier (and cheaper) to make an exhaust louder if that's your desire. Making it quieter though is more costly.

Good afternoon everyone! The last 48 hours has been terribly busy for my job. I've missed this place.

Passing this information along to management so they know they don't have to worry about replacing me in 2-3 years (though if for whatever reason I have to leave after a couple years here I should be able to go wherever I want).

So, fingers crossed right now. If I can get in I feel like I'm set for life. Wide range of emotion right now.

Just hoping I won't be disappointed...

That's exciting news! Good luck with this and keep us updated on your progress.

I've recently found myself on the job market as well, searching for something new. I've hit the ceiling for my current position and feel like my director is holding me, and my team, significantly away from the direction we should be going. After the childish temper tantrum she threw at me yesterday, I'm done. Hopefully, I can find something soon and jump ship.

When I'm cruising through my neighborbood, I keep it in third and <2k rpm. It's a subtle purr at that range.

What exhaust is your spouse running?
