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:

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.

Can you post pics of this setup please? I'd like to do this during the initial install. Also, I'm drawing a blank... will the tips be resting on the diffuser on the Nismo back end, as well? I can't think of what the base rear diffuser looks like in comparison.

Thanks in advance!

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

Yep, that's my understanding too. They don't have much impact on the sound outside of the car. I know some people want to hear it more inside the car. I have the 12s and the little drone I get doesn't both me at all. It just makes me want to drive faster. :D

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.

I have a buddy with a lift in his garage that will let me do the install when my exhaust arrives. Question is, will the boxes(s) it ships in fir in the 370? :confused:

i just have TPs but i wouldnt mind having the headers lol just didnt have the cash to spend at the time. $275 vs. $1200 is a big difference.

the drone doesnt bother me really and if i knew that the sound note quality wouldnt change too much id cut my mufflers and run straight tails :stirthepot:
