Even though an HFC doesn't have as big a Cat Cell as a stock cat, it still does have something the gasses have to pass through. So some performance will be lost. Resonated or non-resonated test pipes have Nothing in the way to block the gasses. Free-er flow = more performance.

BTW why are some people excited by the HFCs even though some performance may be lost? Only reason is to get rasp sound from the HFCs with lower cost?
