I'm looking for something cheaper than $1400. I don't even know if that is possible with how popular this exhaust is right now. I'm not in a rush so maybe I'll get lucky.

Where does FI discourage the 18" with stock cat? I'm running that now and haven't had any issues thus far, but I did just get it installed Saturday. The 18" sounds amazing both inside and outside the Z.

Edit: Before I purchased the 18" I was considering a 12". A lot of forum members who run FI let me know that Tony recommends starting quieter. It's easier to go louder then to try to change down to an 18". Just something to think about if you are on the fence about sound.

I actually would prefer the 18" resonators as I am looking for a deep sounding exhaust that won't give me a headache while on the highway. My previous car had a race header and 2.5" exhaust piping and the drone got to me sometimes.

I saw the recommendation for 12" resonators for folks that will be using stock cats either in the Fast Intentions thread or website. I looked through both again but can't find it now.

From the sound of it, the 18" resonators fit with the stock cat. I wonder what the "drone" difference is between the 12" and 18" on stock cats.

Even at 18", the noise might give you a headache after a while. It's definitely a lot louder than I was expecting, but still sounds great. Good luck finding a deal!
