764? I'm 717 and pretty sure i haven't received mine yet?

and still don't have mine

Those are order numbers they are talking about. Not which ones have been shipped yet just ordered. Don't worry guys you won't get skipped.

Haha yeah order numbers... sorry if I caused anyone to panic or caused mild heart attacks.

Is there a difference in the throttle response? Or would that be more dependent on the intake setup than the exhaust?

Well I always say its easier to throw a resonator on there later on rather than take one off, but if you're concerned about it being loud it may be a good idea to get one. Before I installed the GTmat the volume was great except for at the 2250-2500 rpm range where the drone would really kick in. Since this is my DD I had to cut that down a little bit.

Throttle response will be increased by adding lightweight pulleys and/or a lighter flywheel. This only increases power and (if you get a tune) gas mileage. Of course, you'll probably be flooring it all the time to hear that sweet exhaust note so mileage is out the door.

Yeah it'll be my DD as well for right now. Man i'm so torn on this resonator stuff. I didn't have near this many complicated decisions with my Motordyne. haha

If it helps, I have 12" resonators on CF and I don't even hear mine unless I'm dipping into the gas. Cruising, I don't even notice it. Accelerating, sure... but isn't that what you want?

Yeah but i'll also ordered LTH's to go with whatever exhaust i go with, which is currently the 18". Thats my dilemma.

I think you are on the right track with the 18" resonators, they are one of the best options when pairs with the LTH's.

Everyone, I promise you no one will be skipped and we will update you on where we are at on the build list shortly. I do love the excitement though!

Thanks, Blake

I have No Resonators on my CF exhaust, and resonated test pipes, which I feel safe saying your LTH will be louder than my test pipes. Here is the sound of my set up. If this is too loud for you, then I would say stick with some resonators.

Thanks for all the input fellas

... After finding a couple of videos of some LTH's paired with 12" resonators I think I've decided to go with that. I've contacted Blake to make the change.
