I was doing this alone and on jack stands which made things a little more challenging.
Final result = :happydance: Thanks to Tony also for email support!

I think I may do the washer mod on my cans cause the tips sit fairly close to the bumper and I would like a little bit more space in between so I can clean them on the top when I wash the car.

The sound will settle down quite a bit after you put a few miles on the system (a few hundred miles), especially when warmed up. I have the 18" Resonated CBE and Resonated High Flow Cats (all FI), but still, at cold start-up it shakes the whole house and I'm sure my neighbors can hear it nice and loud... however, once the RPM's drop (30 seconds later?) the sound is still deep and rumbly but a lot less noisy. I usually do creep out of my subdivision in first gear at low rpm's to keep the noise down. Once warmed up though, the exhaust is at a perfect note: at idle, you can just hear the deep rumble, but when I put my foot in it, it sounds ."..like a Ferrarri..." (I'm told - not making this up!). So, my advice is - be patient, it'll get there. Now a small caveat: not sure about the Carbon Canisters if they are louder than the stainless, but I'm sure that there shouldn't be that much dffference. Are you still on your stock cats by the way?

Thanks!

Tony explained to me that it is easier going from Non-res to 12 to 18 because you just have to cut out material & put the resonators in. The reverse of that is going to cause someone to weld in extentions to the pipes. It will not look as clean either due to the patch work.

HTH:tiphat:

Darn. Thanks for the reply. Anyone else have a better answer I would like more? :tup:

Anyone have the SS 18" or 12" Res in the Roswell, GA area? I would love to hear it if possible.. :) Nobody at the local show had it :(

I got the 18" res, will it break in and be less loud? I'd love for it to be a bit less loud. Does it level out with a bit of driving?

Let me know tnx fellas.


Btw, Sebastian and Specialty Z does awesome work. Highly Recommended.

When i placed my order and talked to Tony, he said the resonators are really made for cutting down drone in the interior.

everybody in the last couple pages got 18" res and want less loud then there's me with full non-res setup and want mine louder lol does this make me the odd one? :bowrofl:

That makes two of us FP, cause I have non res with the headers and it wasn't as loud as I was expecting to be. There was a little drone at 2300rpm so I put that GTmat in the hatch and that fixed it right up.

After driving the car for 2 hours straight after install, the sound is much smoother now, with way less reverberation inside (which is what bothered me).

It is really fun, the whole car opened up, love it :)

i got 11k miles on my exhaust now and it doesnt disappoint. i love starting up my car every morning and everytime otherwise. the sound still puts a smile on my face when you drop the hammer and go wide open :driving:

Assuming you can't fit a passenger in the car with the extra exhaust in it, right?

^^^i spoke with tony today, he gave me a ship date range of 10/29-11/1 and I am #593, hope that helps.

Also, I changed my order from stainless to carbon fiber, can't wait.
