I really like the sound of FI and Ark , but leaning toward FI because of the price, I will keep my stock Intake ,the only concern I have is clearance but Tony says it shouldn't be a problem.

My question is...
Should I go for Non-resonated or 12" or 18" Resonator? I don't like loud exhaust though.

Thanks for the Help guys
Quite honestly, I thought the 12" resonated FI exhaust would be louder than it actually is. Granted, I also have high flow cats which adds significant volume but it is very livable and pretty quiet when cruising.

You need to get test pipes or the LTH's, my friend. I have the FI RTP's, and honestly, it is quite embarrassing turning my car on in the morning...it is so loud and it shakes my entire house! I love it, but my neighbors......ehhh that's another story

I have the same thing here in the apartment complex. (I have the LTH's) and it roars to life. LOVE IT!

If anyone were to complain to me, I'd say: "Sure I could make it quieter for you, you just give me the 20k I need to install twin turbos silencers, and she'll be quiet as a whistle..."

Haha, that is how it is already with me as my neighbor's house is literally right behind my garage and therefore get the full effects of my cold starts. The only thing I would replace my Berks with are a set of Motordyne Art pipes but I can't justify the extra money for a few more horsepower and slightly more volume.

The justify it with the huge chubb you know you'd spring when you crank it every day.

Haha, well I think it is only fair. They have two sons and a daughter, all of whom are rude and annoying. One of the sons has a 335i with a full catless straight pipe exhaust which is super loud and he revs it even in the mornings which has woken me up on occasion. Karma!

Exactly! Not only will yours look better, but it will sound better, and just generally BE better.

Lmao, my brother turned my car on one random morning I think to move it because I blocked his way, and that really pissed me off. Not that he moved my car, but because it is so ******* loud on cold start-ups. So, I kinda understand how the neighbors feel too, but I will keep continue startle them every morning.

Haha, he is a massive "bro" with black rims and a flat brimmed hat. Coincidentally, also drives like a tool and red lines the stone cold engine. Oh well!

Yep, I have had that happen too. At first you wake up and you're thinking "what the heck is going on" and then you hear it's your car making what might as well be baby making music.
