Sophia be careful with choosing to go TP's or LTH's. They are illegal in NJ and you should know a shop well who will pass you for inspection if you want to risk it. Also, if you get busted by DEP its a big fine.

I think she is going with resonated HFCs.

Zsteve · 12-26-2009, 09:21 PM

if you just replace the muffler you dont really know how its gonna sound. CBEs are made with certain placements and sizes to achieve certains sounds and just a muffler might not get you the sound you want.

SilverBullet · 12-26-2009, 09:22 PM

She is going with FI.

12-26-2009, 09:24 PM

Didnt read what she chose. Alright then

Zsteve · 12-26-2009, 09:26 PM

Matt on here has a Nismo and went with the Berk HFCs and there really wasnt much a sound difference with them and the stock CBE, so getting too loud shouldnt be a problem. He actually wants his louder so he might change the CBE too. Im sure the gains were there but not too much sound difference. Ive heard his exhaust and it sounds good and not too loud.

So a question I have for those that went with HFCs first and still had stock (non Nismo) exhaust, how much louder did yours get? Does the Nismo have something else to keep the sound down?

SilverBullet · 12-26-2009, 09:27 PM

Nismo is just the muffler correct? I thought it had an h-pipe catback?

SilverBullet · 12-26-2009, 09:31 PM

So it is a different setup. Still FI is much better.

Zsteve · 12-26-2009, 09:32 PM

Yes better in gains and sound, except the drone some of us dont like but all in all better.

SilverBullet · 12-26-2009, 09:34 PM

I thought the drone was only down low.

Zsteve · 12-26-2009, 09:58 PM

yes 1.5k to 2.5K rpms other than that it sounds good and aggressive. I get heads turning and fingers pointing all the time when I start the car or zoom by.

SilverBullet · 12-26-2009, 09:59 PM

Yea. It sounds good. It sounds really good with HFCs, but loud.
