Question on the FI CBE. I have the SS 18" Res on order with HFC's. If I decided down the road to go 12" res or non-res, how much hassle is it? Curious on what would need to be replaced.

Thanks!

Tony explained to me that it is easier going from Non-res to 12 to 18 because you just have to cut out material & put the resonators in. The reverse of that is going to cause someone to weld in extentions to the pipes. It will not look as clean either due to the patch work.

Darn. Thanks for the reply. Anyone else have a better answer I would like more?

Anyone have the SS 18" or 12" Res in the Roswell, GA area? I would love to hear it if possible.. Nobody at the local show had it

I got the 18" res, will it break in and be less loud? I'd love for it to be a bit less loud. Does it level out with a bit of driving?

Let me know tnx fellas.


Btw, Sebastian and Specialty Z does awesome work. Highly Recommended.

When i placed my order and talked to Tony, he said the resonators are really made for cutting down drone in the interior.

Yep, that's my understanding too. They don't have much impact on the sound outside of the car. I know some people want to hear it more inside the car. I have the 12s and the little drone I get doesn't both me at all. It just makes me want to drive faster.
