Fast Intentions exhaust is here! (continued)

I just cannot decide on 12" or 18"

Can anyone tell me how loud the 12" is during idle and conservative driving?

If you are concerned with "loudness" at all I think you would want an 18''. Best bet is to call Tony there and he will give you a loudness test to figure out what would be best for you.

I ended up getting an Ark Grip used (which I love btw.. silent @ cruising speed, and very low rumble @ idle, and growls when accelerating).. but I would of gotten a FI if I had not come across a decent deal.

That sounds like about what I want. I do a lot of 30-50mph speeds because I live very close to work and school.

I just feel like I should be able to handle 12" if people are getting non res and are content with it. But I don't know

I guess talking to him would help a lot. And ultimately you only know for if you get to hear it in person haha

I have 12" res. and love them. At idle after warm up is fairly quiet. A little louder at cold start. At low rpm it's not that loud but has a nice deep tone. In the 4k-6k range is the sweet spot to me. Loud but not crazy loud. Up around redline, I don't really hear just the exhaust, everything is screaming... Hope it helps some. Have you listened to the different options on youtube? It's not like in person, but it helped me decided. Tony is also helpful with helping you decide.
You can't go wrong with any of the options, it's a beautiful system in all ways.

Thanks that helps a ton. I will also eventually sound proof my car a bit when I upgrade the stereo so that would probably block some of the sound.

And if it is a little too loud for people outside. So be it haha

I'm going through the same thing as far as deciding on non-res, 12" or 18" however I will be pairing whatever type I get with the FI LTH's. I've been leaning towards getting the 18" but I guess I should probably talk to those who also have the FI LTH's.

I'll be ordering within the next week or two so I will need to come to a decision pretty quickly.
