I am in the same boat. I think if you are worried at all about how loud is too loud then go with the 18". I am on the fence of whether I want to go with the 12" but don't want to regret it. So if I can't find someone local to hear one in person so I can hear it inside the car as well. Then I will probably go with the 18". Then it will be HFC or TP's. Decisions Decisions.

Anyone disagree and want to talk me into going with the 12" and I won't be disappointed? I want it louder than stock with a nice sound which the FI delivers. I just don't want to have any drone while cruising around town as this is my DD. So there lies my dilemma. Anyone who has heard both in person and can comment on how much louder the 12" is over the 18" please do.

I had the same dilemma.
Went with the 12" with stock cats. Couldn't be happier. No drone at all. Even the wife loves it. I would rather have it a little bit louder thank be disappointed that it's not loud enough.

while I agree, if you really are worried about it being to loud you could start with the 18" resonators and then add HFCs or TPs to get the volume you are looking for if you need more!

Good point, although I had no desire to mess with the stock cats.
