I'm asking him now, I know it was a FI catback, I'm not sure which cans he had. I believe they were the larger stainless as well. I don't remember them being the CF ones.

Having said that, I think the CF ones sound awesome (there's probably little difference honestly). They have a slightly different sound, it's not quite as metallic or sharp especially when jumping up and down in revs. The LTH's and exhaust that my roommate had were crazy loud on startup but just had a slight burble at warm idle and while there was a lout of noise in the cabin from the exhaust, they didn't really drone much.

thanks i def appreciate you finding out - would you after cold start it seems reasonable? i'm just scarred from hearing eternally loud all the time hondas around here haha

He had the FI catback with 18" resonators, the smaller ones I believe. Let's put it this way, if you are worried about disturbing the neighbors, I wouldn't get it because it's that loud on startup. If you aren't, it's probably fine. The sound is great, there's just a lot of it. Not that raspy Honda-ish sound.

Even after cold start it's loud. It sounds great, but it's just turned up to eleven...thousand. Seriously, I love em on a race car, but it's a bit over the top for all but the most committed street cars. IMO, the resonated HFCs plus the cf CBE is the best sounding option out there. Of course I'm a bit biased. It's loud when you hoon it, and tame when idle or cruising.

I heard Nissan didn't show up to the auto show this year. I swear it keeps getting smaller and smaller. You see more at C&C.

I didn't go but I've heard the same from others.

HKYStormFront · 01-17-2015, 09:22 PM

Yeah there is no Nissan presence that I have heard of or seen on their social media.

Also........... Geoff's car is not feeling strong anymore

We're taking it to the hospital in Asheville tomorrow

It's true apex seals seem to be fine but boost spike popped a corner seal. The bad news is it took out my turbine wheel as well.
