At the same time how loud is loud for you, from what I have heard, LiteSpeed drones like a motherfùcker and is loud as all hell when you step on it.
On my car my Stillen exhaust is ok, no complaints. When I added TPs, it was a TOTALLY new exhaust, that thing SCREAMED, I could deafen people when downshifting.
All that beating said, you NEED 18" from what you've stated
Resonators will cancel out some drone but not necessary quiet down the exhaust. And yes, everybody has a different definition for "loud". That's why I always suggest people to go out and hear the exhaust for yourself.

HFCs are quieter than test pipes, stock cats are quieter than HFC. It will be pretty loud if you add the HFCs but not too crazy. But then again, like I said above, my definition of loudness could be different than yours. I can only give you MY opinion.
