FI Non res vs resonated CBE

12nismo

Sound clip?

I'm also running the F.I. long tubes with CBE, but I have the 18" resonators. I love the way it sounds but am curious as to how much louder the non-res really is.

To the O.P.: If you want sound clips of mine, I have several on my IG: z34nismo Hope that helps you in your decision making.

I had the GoPro mounted on the front bumper during these videos. Admittedly the sound quality from the GoPro isn't the greatest.

Thanks gomer_110, FPenvy, 12nismo for the detailed responses. Our roads here are also kinda bad so I'll be staying a stock height. I'm guessing the stock resonators are around the 12" mark, so I'll stick with that option. Since I'm going resonated CBE, would it be overkill to go resonated test pipe/HFC?

FPenvy

it really comes down to how much volume and drone you prefer.

the more you open up the system the louder it will be but that's where the power is.

CBE adds good power but dropping the cats is where you unleash a lot of the restriction of the stock exhaust set-up.

adding non-res TP's will give you more volume and a little extra drone obviously since the cats are by you legs in location and you remove those there's some extra drone coming in there.

res TP's will give you the power and lower the drone.

HFCs to me seem pointless unless you live in an area that it wont pass emissions or don't have a guy to get around that part lol

Not to someone that doesn't want unburnt fuel smell in their cab. I don't have a CAT anywhere in the system and my car smells like an outboard motor

OP. I love my non-res FI exhaust. No drone what so ever but I also have a turbo acting as a hell of a muffler.

mine only smells on the inside if the ac is on without recirc and at a stop for awhile.

that or windows down at a long red light but it's not bad.

personally I enjoy it

FPEnvy, that 3:07 video was one of the first I watched when I started looking at CBE systems, I thought you did an engine swop at first

I've decided on resonated. Just matter of 12 vs 18. It's a $30 difference, so that's fine. Was seriously considering the 18, because people say that it's close to stock on the interior but I do want more volume when I drop the hammer. decisions decisions...
