CF vs SS CatBack
OP, we really are on the same page...I was just about to ask the same question lol. The FI website says the CF catback is louder than the SS...not sure how much though. I don't have any other CF on my car but I think I'm gonna go with the CF catback bc it won't be as noticeable as the SS mufflers.
Just an add-on question...what's the difference between the standard magnaflow x pipe and the upgraded FI x pipe that comes with the catback? I think there's an option for resonated vs non-resonated as well. Any info is greatly appreciated.
FWIW this is going to be paired with the FI RHFCs

Im probably going to order the RHFC and 12" SS CBE this or next week. Cant wait!
honestly i went with the new x-pipe after talking to vosseng37 (diego). he answered all the questions i had. pretty much the new style is a little louder and gives power gains. either way, both styles come in 18" resonators, 12" resonators, or no resonators. the 12" is louder than the 18", and obviously no resonator is loudest, however i've been told having no resonator has a little rasp at top end but i have not personally seen this. i have the 12" setup with resonated high flows and i can personally guarentee after having broken the exhaust in that there is no rasp at all from idle to redline, it sounds amazing the whole time.
i went with SS because when i asked tony the difference he did admit the carbon fiber is louder and sounds a tad bit more exotic, me being a college student and the fact im more than likely not putting any carbon fiber on the car anywhere he said it probably wouldnt be worth the extra money for me to get the carbon fiber mufflers unless my heart was set on it. i'll be recording again the exhaust this week now that it is finally fully broken in and you can decide from there, but talk to vosseng37, he has had both carbon fiber muffler and SS muffler, old style x-pipe, new style x-pipe 18" and now 12". he'd be able to give personal experience between the difference in them.

**The resonators come in 3 options, 18", 12", and non resonated. This allows you to truly control the sound of your CB, and how loud and low toned you want it.
Let me know if you have any other questions, I'd be happy to help set you up with an order
