Good call on the CF upgrade!!! The CF "IS" what makes the difference

You'll love it to the point that you'll never listen to your radio/music ever again

Does CF really makes that much of a difference in the sound? I have a SS CBE with 18" res on order (#808). Should I consider going with a CF instead? I actually like the look of the SS exhaust better.

The CF is thinner than the SS so it let's more of the resonant sound permeate the walls. This gives you a slightly higher pitched (more exotic, ferrari, labo, etc.) sound.

You will have increased Volume as a side effect though. So if you're planning on running Headers and/or TPs, and volume is not something you want, it's a debatable point.

The looks though... omfg, they are

I like you Chris but I have to correct you on this one. The Carbon Fiber sleeve is technically not thinner than the Stainless Steel case. The reason it dissipates the sound differently is mainly due to the material characteristic of one to the other. It is also due to the way Carbon Fiber muffler seals to the end cap vs the Stainless Steel being welded all the way around.

Thanks, Tony

No worries Tony... I was trying to figure out the right way to explain it.

Did you happen to see my post on the FI Facebook page in regards to the Oil Filter relocation?

I have 18 res cf. stock cats. I've never heard a ss in person but cf makes me orgasm every time i get on it. I like the stealthy look of the cf. Looks wise, it's just personal preference. call tony, he can assist you

My opinion......I know there is a difference...I have the CF & it Does NOT sound like SS.....I put 2 different post on this thread, dyno run and start with mild idling
