HFC confusion....

370Z JT · 07-06-2011, 03:08 PM

In CA its 150 to 200 for install.

Econ · 07-06-2011, 03:10 PM

between 100-200 sounds right

i would say anything less than 150 is a pretty good deal.

Beware of the "bolts from hell"!! (When attempting this install.......)

fuct · 07-07-2011, 12:36 PM

they get away with it by putting

"FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY"

I also don't know of a single EPA fine handed out in cali. It's usually the rest of the country where we get them.

To give you an idea of how low the standards actually are in Texas, I took my STI to a shop with absolutely no emissions equipment left on my car and nearly passed. The guy was shocked when I told him. I did it just as an experiment. If I had my laptop I probably could have tuned it to pass without any cats or otherwise.

Nearly passed? So what you mean to say is that you failed inspection...

You clearly missed the point, which is, as I stated, that the actual emissions standards (e.g. sniffer standards) are incredibly low. The fact that I nearly passed with no emissions equipment supports that proposition.

not yet but soon!!!

Op here.... Just wanted to give an update, I'm taking my car to the bodyshop on Monday to have a few corrections made after my accident. The tech said he would do it for $100 as a "cash sale". Not a bad deal and it's done by Nissan. Probably won't go on the books since the tech is just trying to male some extra $$

That's a "side job." Probably the best way to do it.

just got my car back with the Berk HFC and y-pipe installed and all i can say is HOLY RASP BATMAN!

I was hoping for more of a deeper tone. Do these take some time to break in? Also it smells like burnt ceramic, will this dissapate over time?

it definately feels faster or (maybe i was just getting used to the altima)

Red__Zed · 07-28-2011, 09:26 AM

Smell will go away. Rasp is likely due to the y pipe.
