HFC options for Motordyne Exhaust

igota21incher · 05-10-2012, 12:22 AM

Recently purchased the shockwave and instantly fell in love with the sound. However, I wish to replace my stock cats with HFC's to gain a little bit more HP. I know alot of people are going with the shockwave/art pipe combo, but it is way too loud in my opinion. Has anyone mated HFC to their shockwave exhaust and had good luck with gains and not overwhelmed by the sound?
P.S. I know that art pipes are not as loud as regular TP's but from what I heard they're still too loud, this car is a DD and my ears will simply not be able to handle the sound.

I have the ART pipes and Shockwave combo and it is not too bad. Ive gotten used to it. My passenger on the other hand hates it. Lol.

See if Motordyne has made the HFCs avail yet for the
Shockwave.

I will be running ARTs and the Shockwave very soon, i will also be using the TDX2 HFC option, it replaces the mid pipes on the Shockwave, order directly from Tony @ Motordyne.

A word on the ART pipes, they barely give *any* increase in volume at all, my car is also a DD and when i changed to the ARTs and the XYZ pipe, i got a small change in note, not volume.
Do not worry about going ART pipes

PS, the type of HFC's for the Shockwave and the fact they're across two pipes means you'll only lose maybe 1 to 2 HP
