Gday folks,

Currently looking at possibly getting a FI CBE exhaust for my 2011 (currently stock) 370Z Coupe (Australian spec). Not really planning on adding HFCs therefore I'm trying to determine which resonators to go with - 12" or 18".

I'm looking for something louder than stock but not obnoxiously loud or drawing too much attention from the cops. I've watched numerous YouTube clips and read plenty of reviews but still can't decide. I'm looking for something louder than the Xforce exhaust and like the sound of the Stillen one if that makes sense...

Going to get carbon fiber mufflers too as they stand out a bit less than the stainless ones.

Thoughts? 12" or 18" resonators?

Cheers in advance!

Go with the 18's. I wish I would have. The 12's are a bit loud for the GF.

Oh yeah... those long tubes sound awesome though. I'd probably get kicked out of my neighborhood if I had those on my Z though. lol

Definitely going to be a choice of either 12" or 18". Whats the difference in sound between the two of them (with stock HFCs)?
