Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Loudness help: ART Pipes vs Resonated HFC

You're comparing 2 entirely different products types. You're comparing a Resonated Test Pipe (MD ART), and a Resonated HFC(Fast Intentions). To compare products, you would need to compare the ART pipes to RTP's.

To answer the question though, the ART pipe will be louder because you're not running any exhaust flow through a cat to dampen the exhaust.

RHFCs are great for both highway driving, as well as stop go driving. They prevent rasp and in cabin drone.
