Yea, non res is loudest, then 12" then 18" res. Even with 18" when you get on it, it comes to life and will turn heads. Then there's the difference between the carbon fiber mufflers and stainless steel mufflers. carbon fiber is higher pitched and slightly louder as well- "exotic" is a good way to describe it. stainless steel is a deeper tone. I've got the loudest setup now with non res carbon fiber and i love it.

I thought it's the other way around. The carbon fiber canisters are deeper and louder.

The length of the TPs only affect cabin noise, but both are just as loud from the outside.

No, carbon fiber is definitely higher pitched. You're right it is louder also though. How much louder I couldn't really tell you.

Hmm interesting... I had carbon fiber before but never compared with the ss in person so I could be wrong. But I thought Tony told me the carbon fiber is deeper?

I have heard both in person (I have the CF version) and I can confirm that the CF ones are slightly deeper. Of course this is just my opinion I have no solid measurements to back my claim up.

To confirm...The Carbon Fiber mufflers have a slightly "higher" pitched" exhaust note. The Stainless Steel mufflers have a lower and deeper exhaust note. If anyone has any questions on this or anything else, please feel free to call me directly.

Thanks, Tony

Ah not so fast guys. I can confirm that the CF version is slightly deeper in tone. Although I am getting slightly horse from making exhaust noises for the last 3 months

thanks for the reply. I'm going to have a difficult time deciding on 12" or 18" in a few weeks. I'm assuming it is not a TON of difference only slightly louder. Hmm...

If you have any questions at all, please call me directly. I will go over all of the options with you and help get you in the direction you want to go in terms of resonator size.

Thanks, Tony
