What should I buy, Im still confused after reading everything????

engmontano11 · 01-18-2012, 08:47 PM

After reading many blogs, I'm still undecided on what type of HFC for my 2011 nismo. Berk, Stillen, Z1????? Can anybody shed some MORE light on this topic????? Also does anybody have any opinions comparing Berk, Stillen and Z1? Which are better, does it cause a check engine light etc...

TerribleONE · 01-18-2012, 10:24 PM

Neither!! Check out fast intentions! I see your in socal so your local to!!

engmontano11 · 01-18-2012, 11:06 PM

Fast intentions hfcs, which hfc would you recommend fi hfcs or fi hfcs with the resonator

MattP725 · 01-18-2012, 11:09 PM

IMO get the one that is cheapest... rumor is most HFCs use the same core and there is no way to guarantee against a CEL.. you will need to just try it and see. If it is thrown you will either need a bung extender or a rear o2 delete.

The good thing about the HFCs is that they seem to hold their value pretty well so if you get one and don't like it you can usually resell for a reasonable amount.

I personally like the ERZ/CNT cat that I purchased. It was really cheap (around $300 shipped) and fitment was dead on.

Berk's are built with an extended port and seem to be pretty good.

This is by far my favorite setup on the forum:

Fast Intentions exhaust + Berk HFC's and call it a day!

The search feature will help you find everything you're looking for.

engmontano11 · 01-19-2012, 03:18 PM

I did use the search button, but im still confused. Does anybody have the Fast Intentions HFC's, if yes which one? Also how well do they perform with the nismo exhaust

Click my link, follow his setup and you can't go wrong.

Pelican170 · 01-19-2012, 03:38 PM

I have them! and they are great. No complaints, no problems. My setup sounds very nice, slight rasp but nothing to complain about... Id give it a big

.

Oh, they are not resonated. If your worried your stuff will be too loud, then get the resonated ones. Honestly dont worry about it too much, just get em, break em in and im sure you will like what you get. Fast Intentions is a good company...

Ok, without insulting your intelligence cause that's not the point...

What part of the search is unclear?

I can help you find what you're looking for. If you're interested in Fast Intentions stuff, feel free to call Tony and he'll help you with whatever you need.

Do you want something that makes your exhaust louder, or are you only interested in gains?

If you are only interested in gains,the Motordyne Art pipes are a really good option!

I still havent seen any real proof that the ART pipes have better gains than standard HFC's... lots of graphs, but no dyno comparisons...
