If your gonna get a CEL with HFC's, whether it be after 200 miles or 3k miles, might as well just get test pipes and maximize power output. It wouldn't make any sense considering the price of HFC's, unless you live in a highly regulated state like CA.

As someone previously stated, these things just come with the territory of modding. The light never bothered me but I guess I'm just so used to it that I never notice it anymore.
There are other reasons one might want to go with HFCs. Test pipes tend to have more rasp (even the resonated ones). And when I ran test pipes on my 350, the rear valance regularly got coated with a layer of black soot. So this time around I decided to go with HFCs. I haven't gotten a CEL with the HFCs, btw. At this point, I don't think a single person with a 370 has gotten a CEL from the Berk HFCs. All this talk about a fix is merely hypothetical at this point, i.e., what to do if and when we get a CEL. (I'm also the guy who said that CELs just come w/ the territory.)
