So my FI CBE 18inch res is amazing, the wait was defibately worth it , I was wondering though if later down the road if anyone knows if the resonators could be removed? Just a thought because the exhaust tone is beautiful and I might want it a tad bit louder.

Non res for the win! Mine is insanely deep under 3k rpm, if you want it quieter in cabin then I guess resonators are good. I get a lot of drone when crusing 2k-3k rpm, but it sounds so great you can't help but love it. Also, you can just swap x pipes if you want to change non res/resonated setups.

I was recommended the Stage 2. I thought about it very hard and sometimes changed my mind, but after pulling the trigger it's well worth it if you plan to keep the car for a long time. The sound is very satisfying (even quieter), and even at 6 PSI it's easy to get in trouble in 3rd on the freeway. Off boost, it's pretty much stock.
I was looking at doing the Stage 2 SC so I wouldn't have to give up my headers, but with the extreme shadyness from GTM, and talking to Z1 about install prices... I've decided I'll prolly go the TT route, and Stage 2 is right where I'd like to be power wise. And if one day I decide I want moar, I can just upgrade...

Glad to see your install was a success! Now that you're done with that, lets talk LED swaps...

Since the resonator is in the X pipe, the solution would probably be nothing more than having FI build you another X pipe section with 12" resonators. You could then swap them out yourself whenever you like... Or sell the 18" resonators to someone who has No Res or the 12" and wants to be able to quiet it down if need be... Either way, it's doable.

Hey guys i got a email from Tony last night about the status of my exhaust #373.

My original ship date was 9/14-9/21 he said he is only a week behind at the moment and is catching back up. which will make my ship date 9/21-9/28 (hopefully sooner lol)

So to everyone behind me in line your wait is almost over

Made the call today! After talking with Tony for 25 minutes...I'm feeling really good about this purchase! Went with SS CBE and 12" resonators and keeping stock cats. So yea, after Thanksgiving I will be driving up to LA and get the install, then drive back with a stock exhaust jammed in my car and a big grin on my face. After 24K miles she is finally getting her voice!

#401 Here I come!

My exhaust was delivered at 1pm today, but I am away at college so it may be a while before I get to install it

I am happy that it is finally there though!

Just installed the LTH and the 18'' res last night. The long tube headers were very frustrating to install. From getting the heat shield out to getting to the nuts on the stock manifold. But worth every penny. the cat back exhaust was very straight forward and the fitment was nothing short of amazing.

But the most important note I have to say is to be VERY careful swapping out the air/fuel senors in the stock manifold. 3 of the 4 came out without a hitch, but the 4th must have been cross threaded when installed, bc it was mangled when I removed it...this sensor is $500 !

I didnt want to start/ or run the Z without the sensor just to be on the safe side...so unfortunately I cant comment on the sound. But looks amazing!

oh yeah, last thing...I would 100% advise to pre PB Blaster ALL of your nuts and bolts leading up to the install. Almost went though a whole can...life saver.

Thanks guys. I attached a picture of the Z on the lift where it will stay untll i get my sensor...Sittin above the Viper comp coupe.
