test pipes or hfc
 

cant afford a cbe and cai so its either tp's or hfc's now i dont wanna deal with and bs with the test pipes like codes coming on smell etc i know they give you more hp but correct me if im wrong hfc are not gonna put a code on or do any bs that i have to deal with right?

go with the Berk HFC i have put about 5 thousand miles on mine with no CEL and no other problems

yea i jsut dont wanna deal with any problems some guy want like 1 g with the cats installed

wow thats way to much i paid 200 for install and thats a little pricey i paid less for the CBE but either way find a new shop and go HFC with extended O2 censors you wont have any problems

where do you get the extended 02 censors and i live in ny also man nothings cheap but prob should call around

if you dont mind failing emissions tests or raspyness, then test pipes, if you want a nice change in the exhaust note and pass emissions, HFC's.

extended O2 censors come on the berk HFC. its made into the cats to move the O2 censor out a little more to prevent a CEL from happening due to the increased amount of gas fumes other HFC such as stillen dont have the O2 censor in a further position leading to higher risk of CEL

you shouldn't fail an inspection with TP's unless they are adamant about a visual inspection, if you get a good set a la GTM you won't throw a CEL, 2K and still no CEL

berk hfc's enough said thanks everyone

:tup:

Does the resonated test pipes, such as the one that Fast Intentions offers, prevent the raspiness and also does not throw a CEL? Correct?

I can only speak about the ERZ resonated test pipes with stock exhaust but they sound great. Very little raspiness and only at a very limited RPM range. No check engine light yet either.

Also, do the install yourself. It's not easy but not as difficult as some make it out as long as you use enough PB Blaster and the right tools.

I very much agree. The HFCs won't disappoint you at all. They add a nice deep tone to any stock exhaust or aftermarket, for that matter.... as well as HP. My Stillen's been treating me good, but I'm ready for an upgrade to the FI setup :) I can't mention this enough haha. I won't do TP just for the fact of raspiness..they add alot more than the HFcs

Yall are so concerned about install prices. I had my exhaust, hfcs, CAI, and headlight leds installed for only $130. guessing thats good?

We have a set of Berk HFC's in stock, just let us know if you need anything :)

Damn good, whoever said they got charged $200 for your cat install got totally ripped off dude. Just because I didnt feel like tinkering with the demon bolt, I paid a shop $60 bucks, they spent 4 hours trying to get them off, but in the end, a price quote is a price quote.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get all that installed for only $130? I normally do this type of thing myself, but this way I can avoid dealing with the HFC demon bolts.

wow thats an amazing price i paid 400$ for my G3 200$ for my HFC and 195$ for the CBE

Carney's Point Collision. He does collision work but I've seen the car's he's building. I decided to go with him and havent had a complaint in 2 years :) #1 body shop in south Jersey '09. Great guy

WOW..maybe my dude is cheap to me cuz I've been around for 2 years..and I'm a female ;) LOL

no offense but there you go :nutswinger:

Id say the female part is helping alot, especially if you dress to tease a little.

so how much for the berk hfc

word, I fully exercise the pretty lady discount here, a smile and a wink gets ya a full tranny flush, wash and wax, and an oil change :icon17:

They'll run you about $549.00 if you buy directly from Berk, but there are some shops that have Berk HFC in stock such as Failsafe Performance and Intense Power that have sales going on, so you might be able to get it at a lower price...

Here are their sites for you to do comparisions

hahaha, not quite

I sold NYBlade his testpipes that I had fitted (GTM), nice to see he is happy with them, I only pulled them as I thought I was having to trade my Z, they sounded great with a stock CB.
I managed to pick up some FI HFC's for a bargain price so currently rocking these, they def are tamer but still better then stock ,out of the two for sound the test pipes win but only IMO.
As for install, getting the stockers off originally took me two hours, when I removed the GTM's 70mins, refitting the FI's about an hour, gonna throw a Y pipe on shortly to see how she sounds, then chucking on some STILLEN headers I picked up with the HFC's, the deal rocked, headers,ceramic coated, still in factory shipped box and wrap + brand new in box FI HFC's 200 bucks!!! just had to drive to Dallas to get em.
