the dreaded 12" or 18" TDX
 

I'm starting to drive myself crazy with this... I'm obsessing over this 12" to 18" decision when I shouldn't be. I've already PM'd many of you out there and appreciate your responses and advice. I've decided to make my choice by Sunday and THATS IT. So I'm positive that I'm going to obtain either Berk HFCs or FI HFCs, proly berk ( better price ) but don't know wether to go 12" or 18" FI TDX. I'm 26 years old and think that the stock is exhaust pathetic. My recent concern is the whole "Break IN" thing" And this is whats causing my indecision. People are saying the break in is pretty dramatic so as of this hour, I'm leaning towards 12" TDX w/HFC because I think that once it breaks in it'll be perfect!!!

Haha I should have kept my mouth shut. Tony should make some 15" resonators.

LOL!!! Funny you say that, I called Tony and told him my dilema. He offered me a 16" CBE prototype that he said sounds wicked with HFCs for $25 less than if I would have gone 18". Vids and Dynos two weeks from today

12"

Here's mine with Berk HFC. I ended up going back to stock cats, and I like it the way it is now.

What made you go back to stock? Too loud?

Sorry, ninja edit. I went back to stock cats because of the loudness. I only have 12" TDX setup.

That's what I have on order as well, with the option to change to 18" and HFC's....

I fould the 18" Resonators with HFC's were too loud. I can only imagine the 12" resonators.

I'd say if you want some loudness do the 12" resonators with stock cats.

I want it to sound like this:

Then buy a Ferrari

So Digi, I've always meant to ask you about your vid. Is the first setup in the video we hear stock exhaust with Berk HFCs? And then when it fades to the second setup after 15 seconds thats the 12" FI TDX w/Berk HFCs?

If I only had the money...

16" resonator prototype huh, interesting.

Just go 12". It is loud but sounds awesome. I have 12" with carbon fiber mufflers and Berk HFC's.

Is this a one off? or is this somthing on the cards down the track?

But then people will wonder what 13.5" and 16.5" resonators will sound like! lol

Ok guys... Just so you know i was completely joking about the prototype. There is no such thing! I don't want you guys calling up TOny asking about it. :roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

I had two setups tested... completely stock and 12" TDX + Berk HFC. My current setup is stock cat + 12" TDX because of the loudness around 2-3k RPM.

12" ftw

should have went for the 16" and have some bragging rights with it XD
first with them i suppose lol

So no one has the non-resonated set-up???? I am thinking about going that route.

will be too loud and ricy IMO. Lots of drone.

I can kind of figure the drone but ricey??? IDK you guys think it will really be that much louder then the 12in resonated set-up??


I installed a stillen cat-back on my 3.5 Altima. It sounded great but was still quiet. I removed the stock resonater from the stillen cat-back and the exhaust just got louder but the sound did not really change that much. I dont know. I dont even have the car yet and I have my first problem
