I installed my Fast Intentions exhaust (SS, 18" resonators) exactly one week ago and I absolutely love it. Every time I start my car, the sound of the exhaust puts a big smile on my face. That deep bass tone is absolutely amazing. Well done F.I. - this exhaust was well worth the wait.

Are you happy with the sound levels or do you wish you had gone slightly louder with the 12" Res.

When sitting inside the car, the 18" resonator option is actually a lot quieter than I was expecting. All of the youtube videos I watched beforehand made it sound a lot louder than it actually is. Maybe its because I drive a G37 and most of the youtube videos involve a 370Z (different levels of sound dampening material)?

There is a bit of drone around 2000-2500 RPM, but it's tolerable. If I had gone with 12" resonators, I'd be concerned about the drone becoming overbearing. Maybe someone with 12" resonators can chime in on that.

I'm more than happy with my 12" resonators, I have HFC also so I think that makes it a little more louder. But cruising at 65 MPH I notice more the sound of the tires than the exhaust. At low RPMs it's a beast and that's the first reason I got an aftermarket exhaust, so I'm a happy camper...
