Because HFC were never intended for FI use, not strong enough to take the heat of the EGT on an FI car. On average it will take 3 to 5 months before they melt down .

So if they melt, that would just turn them into test pipes right?

The issue you might run into with that though is the melt and then clog the pipe up and watch your engine blow.

Do they make HFCs that work with FI cars? Seems like they sell them for EVOs and STis, but I never had any in my car.
