IMO skip the 12 inch res and go non res with the stock cats.

Guys thank you I will be getting the non res exhaust. Only reason I'm keeping my stock cats is cause nissan told me to keep my stock cats so I won't void my warranty

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe hi-flow cats or test pipes automatically legally void an auto warranty. Any aftermarket part has the possibility of voiding your warranty if the part in question directly causes a malfunction. The dealership can refuse to cover the repair under warranty since it was not a stock manufacturer part. Even though test pipes are not road legal (at least here), I don't think that legally voids a warranty for say your clutch, headlights, etc. Like I said, someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

How much louder would test-pipes make an 18" resonated FI exhaust?

After installing my FI, my aftermarket audio has become a waste of money.

Exhaust note > Music.

How much louder is the FI with 18" resonators compared to the stock NISMO exhaust?

I have the FI w/ 12" resonators and FI LTH on my 09 nismo and it is night and day from stock. Like a different car almost...HR engine on steroids. The volume is not headache-inducing nor is the exhaust note super different from stock, just really enhances the growl like the pipes are up to a megaphone. There is the typical hiss/buzz at cruising and lower rpm and a lot of cabin drone. But imPo there is no better full exhaust. If you're on the fence I say definitely go for FI!!!! Full disclosure, I didn't personally install it but the previous owner did (and babied her - thank you ryanboy) which is why I bought her. I'm in love and from what I can tell all other FI customers are very happy as well.
