It's not the 12" Resonators you need, it's the Long Tube Headers.

Haha. As I plan to go with a SC kit sometime this year, the LTH are not the best option for me. Were I staying NA, that would be next.

I am pondering these myself since I have the 12" FI now. How bad is the smell with no Cat?

Why would these not be better for an SC?

More Flow = More Power.

You don't really smell it at all, even standing behind it at idle. During any driving you won't notice it. When you pull up to a stop, if you have the windows down you get a nice waft of it, just a hint to remind you, you're not stock.

But not so obnoxious that you can't breathe.

I like it.

Well you do have a gas mask on though...

Just kidding, thanks.

Nice! As of 2013, my car will not longer be distinguishable ... damn it.

I agree that more flow = more power. I should have been more clear. Three things are keeping me away from LTHs: (1) the possibility that I may go turbo instead; (2) the fact that I am in CA and going catless here is asking for trouble; and (3) as has been discussed on here, the GTM SC kit and LTHs have not been shown to work great together.

That's why I settled on the 18" when I ordered mine.

There is a guy here in Chicago that has 18" resonators with long tube headers. I asked him about them on ChicagoZ and he said that it's not that bad, even while sitting at a stop light. I hope to be able to find him at a meet to decide for myself.

Ya, not bad to some people is horrid to me. One big wiff at a light and I am sneezing my arse off, not to mention I just don't want my clothes to smell like exhaust the rest of the day

Let me know what you think if you ever catch up to the guy. Thanks.
