Like many others when they've come close to their build date, I've been 2nd guessing whether or not I have selected the right set up. After talking to Tony back at the beginning of January I opted for the SS 18" resonators. After scrolling through this seemingly never ending thread I've been asking myself about the 12" resonators and CF setup. I'm pretty sure I want to go with the 18" resonators simply because when I drive the car to work it's about a 12 mile drive at 6:45am. I'm worried about the drone annoying me that early in the morning (also don't want the gf to bitch because we can't have a normal conversation w/o talking louder either :ugh2: ). However I'm leaning more towards the CF because everyone says it's more exotic. There are a few Ferrari's, GTR's, Porche's,...ect at work that sound amazing and I want something closer to their sound. The GTR has an Italian TUBI exhaust that is very comparable to the Ferrari's that will having you drooling. :drool:

Bottom line, will the CF help me achieve the sound I'm looking for and is it worth the extra $275 by sound alone? :confused:

I can't speak on the CF vs SS mufflers, but i had non-res and it wasn't loud enough for me. A few long trips with the wife no problem talking, it was fine for a DD also. The only bad part is you will be hard pressed to want the raido on because the ehaust sounds so good.

Really? Non-res and you could carry on a conversation w/o any problem? Damn back to contemplating 12" resonators... :(

He is Non-Res, but is he stock cats, high flow cats, test pipes? I think those make a big difference when added to the exhaust sound from other peoples posts

I have 18" res cf...could not handle it being any louder.

Just got off the phone with Tony and explained the sound I'm looking for and I have to say he did a superb job on explaining the sound each option will produce. Swapping the order from 18" SS to 12" CF!

Wish every business had customer service like Tony and Blake produce at Fast Intentions! :tup:

Stock cats now, had berk HFC's and they were to hissy.

Don't need it just make sure that they don't use impact gun when removing the 02 sensors.. If they do, that will damage it.

Correct! Anyone who installing our products please adhere to the installation instructions. The HFC/TP instructions clearly state NOT TO USE AIR OR IMPACT TOOLS! Like stated above you will you will destroy your O2 sensors.

If anyone has any questions please do not hesitate to call us directly.

Thank you, Tony

Some of you guys are really making me want the carbon fiber. Just wish I knew what it would sound like with the LTH's.
