Need Exhaust advice with my setup...

Maybe we can broker a trade

? With stock cats, it's only a few db louder than a stock Nismo exhaust.

Here are a couple vids I shot today. I swear it's louder in the videos than in real life

Sounds loud as hell too me. I have the non res and I thinks it's too loud. I think a 12'' res would of been a good volume. I'm not changing anything now. I think you should just take the RTP off and put it back to what it was for now. At least you will hold you off until you find a good deal or just get impulsive and make a buy. It's not like your going to be slow, just slower.

I traded my 12" resonated FI pipes for a set of non-resonated FI pipes with a forum member. I felt the system needed to be louder...BIG MISTAKE. It was louder alright, too loud and the DRONE was just unbearable. My wife wouldn't ride in the car anymore and I wore ear plugs until I got things sorted out. I ended up finding a happy medium by getting a shop to weld on 10" resonators. All is good now I couldn't be more happier with the results. The drone is gone and the wife rides in the car now. But to those of you that prefer it louder; to each it's own.

Hi, Agent K. Hope all is well.

Which shop did you use, if you don't mind me asking? I might want some exhaust work done in the near future.

Thanks.

Hey, what's up T,

Custom Projects did the work. They're located off Brooks Rd close to 3rd Street. They're not necessarily an exhaust/car shop. I've known them for years and they do special projects for me from time to time. The company I worked for does a lot of business with them. They do quality work.

Do you have vids of the setup? I love PPE's, but they do need tamed with the right exhaust.
