But it's up to you, all I can tell you is 18" is loud enough IMO. The thing that sucks is to really tell the difference or get a sense of how loud these specific setups are you have to hear it in person. I watched almost every F.I. YouTube video and multiple times I might add, it just doesn't do the exhaust it's justice. I was quite surprised how loud mine was when I heard it.

The exhaust sounds better after it breaks in after a few starts and drives... it gets much more even and once everything is warmed up, you just can't help but to bitch slap whoever tries to close the windows...

Hey guys, you really need to get 500+ miles on it & you will see it quite down a lot. So JungleZ, don't panic if it's a little loud at first. I have non-res CF & it has quieted down & smoothed out a lot compared to the first few hundred miles. I was a little concerned at first, but for me it has settled down to a perfect note. YMMV

I agree. I have R HFC and the NR CF. The combination is simply amazing, loud, and exotic - don't know how else to describe it. It pushes you to shift at higher rpms and stay there as long as you can before shifting to the next. It's just wonderful up there. Like I mentioned earlier, 1-4 is the best. I have noticed it starting to tone down, jut a little bit but noticeable. It is loud but not as loud as when I got it installed on day 1. Tony said volume will be reduced by 10% once it settles in. NR is not for everyone but what I do know is that we all changed our driving habits even just by a little bit simply because of the noticeable torque and of course it's amazing sound.
