This exhaust system is prolific enough that you should have little trouble finding another member in your area that has a similar setup and then you can judge for yourself.

If you buy it and later decide you dont like it, then it is easy to re-sell too.

Everyones got an opinion. My definition of loud is just different then yours. I rock AAM Short tails & I don't think thats very loud. Some people say its a 8 or 9/10 loudness. I would say its about a 6 or a 7.

The fast intentions 18" I would rate in at around a 4 or 5.
With TP's or HFC's its a 6 or a 7.
With 12" resonators + Tp's or HFCs its a 7 or an 8.

I think a ten is short tails plus test pipes or straight piped with test pipes.

Thats not to say that I dont think Fast Intentions is the best exhaust for the z, because I think it is. OP just asked about loudness and price, so i suggested those because they are relatively quiet with good gains.
