    FI x pipe with 8 inch resonators cat back

    Does anyone have a sound clip or video of the FI cat back x-pipe with the smaller 8 inch resonators? I have searched with no luck. I would love to hear it before I pull the trigger. Thanks.

    I have no way to get a sound clip up, but I have this system and HOLY HELL it is hands down the best mod I have ever done to any car, hands down! You will LOVE driving and have a real hard time keeping off the pedal. PULL THE TRIGGER!!!!

    Re: FI x pipe with 8 inch resonators cat back

    What's the other option with the X-pipe? 14" resonator? iluvTT's..where in CT are you located? I am in Manhattan and would love to hear your exhaust if you have the 8" resonator? Is there any drone at highway or cruising speeds?

    Re: FI x pipe with 8 inch resonators cat back

    I'm curious about highway drone as well. How is it around 3k RPM?

    EDIT:
    Not sure what size of the resonator was on this one but if it is same one it sounds pretty sick

    That's a Fullback so it will be louder than the catback. Also, if you look at the beginning of the video it looks like the resonators are longer than 8"..i could be wrong.

    Ah, I missed that first part. You are right, those resonators are longer than 8".

    I also purchased the 8" x-pipe setup, but haven't got it installed yet. Can't wait!

    Re: FI x pipe with 8 inch resonators cat back

    i have this setup. Down low its deep. Around town its pretty quiet and you'll hardly know its there. I've driven females around and its not obnoxious and you can hold a convo easily. I'm actually thinking about taking the 8" resonators out to get more sound. Very very civil.

    But no sound clip.

    I have a Labree Resonated catback. Very similar to FI in terms of design and hardware (Sebring mufflers.) There is ZERO highway drone. The drone occurs only at 1600-1900rpm. It's a very, very small window, BUT if you're a gear too high for any reason, it is VERY loud. Honestly doesn't bother me in the least, though, because the damn thing just sounds so good. Some have said Labree and FI are raspy, but I completely disagree. It's a deep burble at low rpm and rises to a beautiful, rich tone above 3000rpm. Sounds mean but in a classy, unique way. Definitely does NOT sound like an American muscle car as some have described.

    Re: FI x pipe with 8 inch resonators cat back

    I have a F.I. fullback xpipe (resonated)...not sure of the resonator size. But the sound is just what I was hoping for. See my sig for some vid clips. There is some drone but only in very low rpm (1200-2000), not a problem at all for highways.
