Thanks for the help Chris that really makes it simple for me!

Any thoughts on Fast Intentions' "Resonated Cat Pipes"? From what I understand, they're HFC with a resonator. So, you get the performance of a HFC with the added "silencing" of a resonator. But wouldn't the resonator cause restriction, therefore defeating the purpose?

Yes and no. The cells inside the HFC are less restrictive than stock, and the resonator they use is probably a high flow model.

Great question!

Our resonators are straight through perforated core. No baffles or louvers. They do not hinder the performance at all!

So to answer your question, the added resonator is strictly designed to cut down the sound.

If you have any questions or would like to place an order, please do not hesitate to call me directly...

Thank you, Tony
