I hope the life of these things is greater than 10k mi. I'd like to hear from other users with HFCs that have as many or more miles on them.

I've been running/tracking FI resonated test pipes and CBE for about 28k miles and things seem to be fine…….

Update*

I decided on the invidia gemini exhaust along with motordyne ART pipes. Price and performance for the setup seems good.

Also finally ordered my Quaife dif and UPREV tuner software

After ordering the Invidia system over the 4th of July weekend. I called THmotorsports to ask them the status of my order. Now i had not done the research i should have, and trusted their website that claimed the exhaust was in stock.

Of course it was not and they claimed 3-5 week lead time, and just my luck the available system is the $2,000 HKS Hi power exhaust. I figured... ahh hell make me a deal and ill toss some JDM goodness on my Z. Also i switched up to Z1 test pipes, at $250 the price is right. I have to admit the HKS system has way to much hiss, but after finally deciding on GTM SC as a go forward solution im thinking the hiss will go away anyways.

Shipment is out for delivery in my area, ill post up install pics when i get everything in. I think the test pipes will not be here till tomorrow, so install may have to wait 1 more day!

I've read stories about 350z Hfc falling apart and clogging the exhaust but you're the first 370z I've heard of having the problem. I think this has made my Hfc decision much easier.

Any noise issues on track? Some tracks have fairly strict noise levels which is why I decided on HFC's instead of TP's. But if they aren't reliable I might switch to TP's.
