I'm sticking with steel. I don't really like the carbon fiber "look" all that much. Just personal taste and I love the exhaust note on the steel cans.

I don't have access to anyone local with a SS since there aren't many Z's in my area or I'd gladly make a literal side by side vid

carbon fiber sounds way better in my opinion, what the Z is supposed to sound like a nice exotic purr, not too deep and bassy.

You guys don't have to be in the same area to compare.
Just make sure 2 different people use the same make/model of camera in the same style environment.

Hehe... I made the switch on my HFC's back when I ordered them... I went from Non-Res HFC's to Res HFCs...

I wanted the growl without the super loud exhaust... I so made the right decision. The combination of Res HFC's and 18" Rec CBE gave me EXACTLY the type of volume and low growl that I was looking for without being too loud ...

Tony was great on the phone explaining everything and LISTENING to my concerns...
