You choose my next upgrade!

John_Kay

oh! yah i did that coz its not one of my options. but thanks for the heads-up

John_Kay

why would it cost less in labor?

and what about CEL, no one having issues with that?

MacLean

My F.I. RHFC sound is pretty effen sweet with my exhaust and an awesome match up. You can go with either the resonated or the non-resonated HFC. You free up torque and power throughout the entire RPM band and your overall sound volume will increase while making your exhaust note much deeper and smoother. I have no complaints or regrets by adding the F.I. RHFC.

John_Kay

the question is the sound difference between the Res. vs non res.? any input? why did you go with the resonated?

MacLean

The Non-resonated would be louder, but how much louder that I could not tell you. I would suggest that you call Tony at F.I. and ask him what the differnce in sound is. You will get the same hp either way. My exhaust is already extremely loud, but the RHFC gives it a deeper sexier sound in lower RPM's & at a cold start. The higher RMP's would just be insane. I wanted to make the sound even more exotic/sexier.

lol you killing me!!! thats exactly how i want my car to sound not lound rather a tone to it!!! do you have any youtube videos up for your set up? i am curious and would love to hear what your set up has to offer!!!!

MacLean

LOL..... No video yet. There was a guy that posted several videos of his G37S who has the Meisterschaft FCB, RHFC & Stillen Gen III. I believe his videos were on one of the Meisterschaft discussions. If you watch & listen to his videos, my car sounds EXACTLY the same as his.

I am going to get a tune this Sat., so I will have dynos before and after and it is also the Houston Z's Xmas party. I'm assuming someone there will have a video camera, so hopefully we can get a recording.

John_Kay you are comparing apples to oranges with the way Stillen FCB would sound with either Non-resonated HFC or RHFC vs. Meisterschaft FCB would sound with either Non-resonated HFC or RHFC. Meisterschaft FCB is A LOT louder than the Stillen FCB.

HFCs and a tune will run you about the same cost as LTHs by themselves, and you'll get a lot more value out of it.

yah i am absolutely going for a tune after my HFCs, and since that will be my last bolt on, I was debating whether or not to go LTH or HFC.

seems like HFC and a tune will do the trick for me. then ill just work on getting some summer tires.

Chuck33079

I'd look into the Motordyne intake manifold as well. You won't gain much, if any, peak power but you'll gain a lot of area under the curve.

That looks pretty nice, but a bit expensive compared to the 500 price tags of those berk and FI HFCs. but thanks you for the recommendations

Chuck33079

It's about $500 as well the last time I looked.

its 585 now :S

Chuck33079

And a whole lot less in labor to install than HFCs.

Any of the HFCs with the "J" extended O2 bung shouldn't have any CEL issues.
