CF isn't as resistant as the SS cans, so more volume will make it through. Also the note of the exhaust will change slightly to a higher 'more exotic' pitch.

A similar but more pronounced effect will happen when you pair them with the headers.

well said chris lol i was just about to type the same thing but saw you beat me to it.

having the CF cans and knowing how amazing the sound it i wouldnt want SS cans at all. not saying they arent amazing as well just my personal preference is now changed to CF over SS. All F.I. products are the best around hands down.

I currently have the SS cans, and had an unfortunate event happen to one of them. So when it comes time to get it fixed, I'm on the fence if I'll order another SS can, or just get 2 new CF cans...

I'm leaning to CF..

i'd say CF would be a good choice plus a nice change of pace from a sound standpoint. i will say i was sad yesterday when cleaning my CF cans i got a little nick in the front of the right can at the "low" point. i guess after 5k miles on them i finally went over something that was too tall or a rock might have done it since it is a small nick.

Thats my only worry is that the CF is more delicate than the SS ones. You can get away with a bit more road rash. But the look and sound of the CF can't be denied. Plus I have mag black so yeah...

honestly i think the Cf holds up well. i installed mine last october and ihave 5k miles on them and they look like new except for the new little nick. i'll take a pic after work and show you they look like they are fresh out the box. which is amazing to me after sooooo many miles lol Tony make a awesome product.

also black CF cans under abby will look sick. i love the look under mine since the CF stands out from the blue so u def see them lol

Non-Resonated CBE + Non-Resonated TP's is going to give you quite a lot of volume, and a good chance of Rasp. This is why typically if someone wants volume without rasp, they get the Resonated TP's with the Non-Res CBE, that way its just sexy VQ growl without rasp.

Yup. The CF does more than add JDM appeal.
