Why does the FI RHFC sound like they have more rasp than the Kinetix?

Cold start with the Vibrants and Tanabe. I love how the VQ growl is accentuated. Nothing too obnoxious but you know it's there.

Hey, the93owner have you experienced a low drone (deep bass sound) when around 35-40 mph and with the rpms around or below 1,500, and your lightly accelerating? It's seems this setup accentuates the engine bog noise at these conditions, when lightly accelerating.

Other than that the vibrant 1790's definitely let more sound out! Which I like with out being obnoxiously loud.

Yes, I get that too. But to me it's not that bad and I don't really even notice it unless I'm listening for it.

I also have the tanabes and vibrants and confirm the deep bass sound you are talking about at low rpms, this also happens if you are on the highway in 6th gear in very low rpms and try to accelerate slowly.

It's not THAT bad but its there. Only happens during light acceleration. This is probably the safest set up asides putting back on stock resonators. I thought I was the only one with this issue.

It will fit all V36 sedans, RWD and AWD, VQ35 and VQ37. Not sure why it's not listed on their website but it 100% fits.
