Making the switch to HFC......Opinions

I'm currently running Motordyne ART pipes with FI CBE with 18" resonators. I'm getting tired of the smell so I'm going to switch to HFC. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Default Making the switch to HFC......Opinions

I'm currently running Motordyne ART pipes with FI CBE with 18" resonators. I'm getting tired of the smell so I'm going to switch to HFC. Any suggestions would be appreciated. There are alot of different combos out there so I'd like to hear some opinions.

The smell is bad for me too. I almost never drive with the windows down bc of it. I seriously was going to switch to HFCs if my SES light wasn't resolved. Now I'm going to stick with it for now.

I have been running Berk HFCs for over a year and I have never had a single issue with them. But honestly, most HFCs are pretty comparable as far as power and sound are concerned and will definitely cut down on the exhaust smell a fair amount.

I'm leaning towards Fast Intentions but I like the price of the ERZ. Decisions decisions.

I cannot speak for the other brands but I can tell you that our HFc's fit the best with our CBE that you already have!

With the exception of the ERZ that are way less expensive than everyone else, we are all comparable in price.

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to either email, or call me...

Thank you and Merry Christmas,

Tony

Everything is built to order however everything I need to build them is in stock. I usually ship them within 2-5 business days of when you place your order.

Let me know...

Thanks, Tony

It is a small investment even if only for a year. Besides, our TT kit should be released by this summer. If you decide to go with the HFC's now and say our kit later, I will take care of you!

Thanks, Tony

Thanks Tony. Alejandro has told me you where looking into making a TT kit, cannot wait to see the details.

I am currently waiting for Alejandro to get back into town so I can drive his Z and here it with the HFC. He should see him on the 7th at our Z/G meet.

Sorry to Hijack your thread TonyBPD.
