I don't hear a hiss at all with non-resonated HFCs 18" resonators on the cans. I will say that cabin noise is now "beyond comfortable" and I'm ordering some more GTmat stuff to coat the interior to compensate. Girlfriend wore earplugs to/from a Christmas party on Sat night to passive-aggressively voice her displeasure.

My situation may be exacerbated since I ditched my spare and there's a big hollow space in the rear of the vehicle.

That's odd...

Some people just don't like to hear/feel the power of their vehicles I guess...

Doesn't bother me at all except in low-range 4th gear at below optimal speeds. I love the noise it makes

Yeah the startup/downshifting noise is really worth the price of admission.

Is it audible inside the cabin? Maybe that's why I don't hear it.

i never have had it on a dyno but i want to once spring comes around. i know it's not useful now since i never did a baseline but i'm not taking all my stuff off just to know what i gained. i'm only worried about what i have lol

as for a tune i am not tuned. i do have an adjusted MAF table map that was given to me with my set of Akuma prototype intakes. it is needed for the set-up to run properly so i dont know if you can classify that as a "tune" per say.

I am number 654 cannot wait

So far my order is

Cbe with 18" res
Non res hfc
And some gen 3 intakes

My question is for all those that have heard them in real life what is your preferred combo with a hfc the 12 or 18 res or no res at at all ??????

so can't decide and YouTube doesn't help!

My car is daily driven for work so I need it to be a little tame when I want it to be, deff don't mind if its of its head when opened up though noise is not a concern then lol

It is most pronounced on Drive By's... It's not a major difference, but if you really listen for it, you can tell.

No sir, I was referring to the GF.

I have the LTH's and 18" CBE, and I hear it windows up, windows down, radio on or not, I love it.

Granted when I'm just cruising around, the exhaust lets you know it's there, but it's not obtrusive. And when I get on it, it snaps heads.

It does. I dunno how else to describe it. When you took off (granted I was 4 cars behind you ) But I could still hear you Over the others. Which honestly your setup was the one I Wanted to hear, so maybe my selective hearing tuned out the others

But yeah dude, I'd love to hear yours on the strip.
