hmm... i dont know still leaning towards an HFC tho.

seems like FI is winning 100% here. but i still need to research and see if anyone is having CEL problems! many of the threads are out-dated about this topic and i dont know if that CEL issue has been resolved with newer Gens of HFCs.

It's not an either/or. I was just pointing out that the $85 difference (which is off retail, not what a vendor can get you) may not be as dramatic when compared with the cost to get it installed.

Absolutely get the cats. Just make sure you're done adding parts before you get tuned.

If you're getting tuned, who cares about a CEL? That code will be turned off anyway.
