A not so successful Berk Exhaust install...

can you also do it the other way around? get test pipes of HFC first then CBE, because CBE are lot more expensive than test pipes and HFC. Test pipes

That's what I did. HFCs gave me nearly the same gains, but for half the cost of my CBE. Once I saved some more money, I got the CBE as well.

From a volume stance, I'd go CBE first though. The CBE will usually give you the majority of your exhaust tone/sound. If it's not loud enough, add the HFCs or test pipes.

Yeah, definitely. It all depends on what type of sound you're after.
