Should I switch to 12" resonators?

Why? NR is the way to go.

NR is only plausable if you've got FI. Otherwise you're gonna say goodnight to your hearing.

+1...

. 12" or 18" and you can't go wrong.

25k miles on mine. Still sounds and looks the same as it did the first day!

dmhenderson · 11-11-2012, 06:43 PM

Going to call Tony tomorrow to discuss.

Currently got the 18" CF on order, thinking about switching to 12" CF (keeping stock cats either way).

Anyone heard both and can comment on the differences inside and outside?

If youre keeping stock cats, 12" ss or cf would be money

Cheers. Plan was to keep stock cats (for now) with possibility (albeit a small one) of upgrading them later.

Decisions, decisions...

Spoke with Tony yesterday and he said there's no real difference in noise *outside* the car between the 12" and 18" resonators if you go with unresonated HFCs but that the sound *inside* the car would be considerably louder.

I'm going to go ahead and leave it with unresonated HFCs and the resonated 18" cans. My ship date is next Wed/Thurs!

correct, the resonators effect the noise inside the cabin.

I just got off the phone with Tony, spoke to him about possibly switching from 18" CF to 12" CF to add a bit more outside noise whilst minimising inside drone.

Won't go into too much detail unless someone's interested (PM me) but I'm sticking with the 18" CF system and will look at resonated HFCs later down the track if its not loud enough for my liking.

Highly recommend giving him a call if you've got any queries... His expertise and advice is excellent and I can now head to bed with my mind at ease

I previously posted a vid of mine with CF cans on the CBE and HFC's 18" resonated throughout

asdfsammich · 11-13-2012, 08:10 PM

Did you get cbe first, then add hfc's, or did you install both at the same time?
