I am so tempted to go straight through i can just hear my boss in my head saying you idiot haha

The idea off scaring people is just to tempting.

Thanks I know what they are for however like it or not they still make some difference to the overall sound
There will be a difference between say a hfc and cbc vs a res hcf and 18" res cbe there is no way there wouldn't be a significant sound difference both inside and out.

I was simply asking what people preferred after hearing the the different combinations running, I am sure I am not the only one that’s a little indecisive at to what combination to go with.

Well i got the install done! maybe an hour and a half. The bolts sure were on there good!! I guess they dont use torque values lol. actually removed the intake tubes and got the demon bolts from the top with a long extension and bar, took maybe 10 minutes.

It is louder than i thought it would be with more drone than expected but its perfect!

I assume this is the hiss people here talk about? When i let off the throttle i hear a hiss almost like a rattle kinda.. put it in air and used my stethascope lol. Sound like its comming from the xpipe. Is this normal?? I would think its from scavenging and a vacum up at the front?

I just have HFCs and I get the rattle when I let off the throttle, too; I characterize it as a rattle as well as opposed to a rasp or hiss. I only notice it when the car is cold.

A rattle and a hiss are completely different sounds though. If it's rattling, then maybe you should get it checked out lol.

there has been many times i come to a stop sign or red light and make people jump. i still get a kick out of seeing younger kids heads whip around for a second look whenever i get on the gas lol they always look at the car but at idle the exhaust is very tame even with the TPs like mine.
