MrBMW your videos make me ready to go back outside and drive my car, lol. Sorry I haven't had a change to make any videos yet... busy weekend and just enjoying driving the car non stop.
I did go back to the OEM cats today... BTW... anyone who has done HFC or testpipes... the first time we did this we did the whole remove the intakes, long extensions, etc. Now that we're using SS hardware and broken them off, I was able to put the OEM ones back on completely from underneath the car. Me and a friend swapped the cats on our backs with the car on jackstands in about an hour or so, no crazy extensions and certainly not having to worry about the steering shaft (I would imagine this applies to headers only?)
Anyhow, impressions now that the car is back on OEM cats... still loud, still REAL deep, but a little more mellow and not nearly as agressive sounding. A little less drone I suppose... but I kind of miss that "raw" and "mean" sound the HFCs provided me. But still very happy on OEM cats. This exhaust just sounds so beautiful. In one weekend I've received more compliments than ever, and had neighbors flag me down to check it out or give a thumbs up. Everyone loves the sound this system provides.
crbn_fbr is local to me as well, I'm planning on meeting up with him and hopefully get a video to compare the 12" vs 18" resonators... I'm curious to hear the difference in person.
