Just posting a follow-up after a day of driving. My car hasn't been driven much over the weekend since I've been working on a stereo install.
The TDX with 12" resonators and Berk HFCs combination is VERY LOUD! As a daily driver, my tach is always hovering around 2-3k when accelerating. At this range, the exhaust tone is very loud. It even vibrates my interior. With SRM, the exhaust tone gets pretty loud as well. When letting off the throttle or cruising/coasting, the exhaust tone is very quiet. Therefore, I plan to switch out the 12" resonators with 18" hoping to cut down the exhaust loudness. I still like the smooth and deep exhaust note, but I'm not much of a loud exhaust guy. No regrets... just to quiet it down. ;-)

Most of my hatch panels are taken out anyways so I will either take out the last panel (the 1 that is vibrating at 2-3k rpm) or put something soft between the panel and the metal so there is no vibrating noise anymore. This exhaust sounds AMAZING! I have a buddy taking video for me tomorrow I think. |

This is partially my fault! Back when you purchased the system in April I had no idea that you had aftermarket cats or what our system would even sound like. Once it was prototyped I always made sure I made the recommendation to have the 18" resonators with anything aside of high flow cats. The 18" will cut it down quite a bit and I am confident it will satisfy you... Thanks, Tony

That night, some guy with a Malibu with hyperwhite headlights chased my tail in traffic. He tried to get my attention, but there was an SUV in the front of me. Once the SUV turned turned, I drove past him at half throttle to 4k RPM to unleash the fury of the exhaust sound. Guess he started driving civil afterwards.
