I really would like to add Berk’s HFC bolt on's, but if it means having to lift and getting under the car even every once in a while to correct CEL light issues, I would rather pass on HFC, for now, unless there are some long term fix's ? Steel wool not an option for me "lol"

How have your HFC handle CEL light issues?
Which brand HFC has fewer issues with CEL light coming on?

Thanks,

Alex
I've heard of the Berks HFC's throwing CEL's. I have the Stillen HFC's with their CBE. And I've had them on for over a year with over 10,000kms. Never had any issues... no CEL's. I think that you will find there is no problems with the Stillen parts. The Berk's on the other hand...?

I would have gone with Stillen , but I wish they would have inculed the supports for the brace on their HFC , like Berk's HFC.

Thanks,

USE THE SEARCH function.... up top

BTW, "My findings"? I just stated in my first post (please read it) that my experience was that I had no issues with the Stillen HFC's & CBE after 1 year and over 10,000kms use. I didn't state anything EXCEPT for the fact that "I heard" that the Berk's HFC's have thrown CEL's. And for that info, you should utilize that "search function" up top.

Thanks! I had no idea about the search function! You are the best!

I just thought since you were putting information out there you might know where you got it from since you don't have Berk HFC's, but Stillen HFC's. That led me to believe you got your info from somewhere on this forum? no?

6MT,

Are the Stillen's HFC you have the 200 or 300 types, if 200 type how loud would you say they are compared to the 300?

Did yours have is the extended O2 sensor, if not was it extra?

What are your thoughts on the Stillen's HFC now that you've had them a while ?

Thanks,

Alex
