You may have to just settle for getting help and the right tools IF you want them installed.

From what I know a reputable shop may not want to legally touch them

As to the brand? FI and Berks are pretty much the most common and there's not a difference between the two.

The exhaust smell will not be noticeable on HFC's thats only an issue when running none resonated test pipes.

You'll notice a heck of a difference from oem cat's to HFC's

This is what I ran into. From what I was told they can get fines around $25K per instance. I had to end up installing them myself.
