Update: No longer for sale. After the HFCs, I'm very happy with this setup

I love gains from the exhaust, but I agree, without TPs or HFCs- This exhaust note is a little weak. Reminds me of the nismo or stock exhaust. Good gains though.

What are you going with instead? I thought this exhaust sounded great.

Thanks guys. I'm worried about Cel. Also, I wanted to try Replacing the resonators with straight pipes. That will cost $250. I might just go for short tails and place an order with FI. Have to hear Luciano's once he gets his

If you are going for sound I would stick with the short tails or other axleback. If you are going for performance, don't spend the $250 on straight piping and keep the CNT but get test pipes or HFC's.. Itll beef up the CNT exhaust a ton, but you will keep the gains from the exhaust.

NickTurnon is right, if you want sound you need HFCs or test pipes, thats where the low RPM rumble and drone comes from. I would recomnd Berk Technologies for the HFCs but since you have CNT cats might as well get CNT HFCs as well. They are almost identical to the Berks minus about $200 in price. And i am sure they will match up with the exhaust a bit better. My advice keep your exhaust its good, no need to sell it and get another one. I don't know if you seen/heard Miki's car. he has the short AAM Tails and even though its loud its no where near what you can get from HFCs + CBE. You heard mine and Johns, the Berks we both have make a whole lot of noise. I am pretty sure they free up a lot of power too.

I've got some F.I. HFC cats for sale that I actually took off my car and am selling because they made my car too loud.
It might be the solution you're looking for, because I an guarantee they will add a nice deep growl to your current exhaust sound. I'd be willing to meet up if you're interested, fire me a PM

Thanks guys. Problem is, if I end up with a CEL, I'm not ready to get UpRev yet. I still have so many other mods I want to do first. How likely will your hfc give me a CEL? I saw your fs post actually, checked out your gallery too. Sweet ride!

I never considered the CEL issue because it's never occurred to me. Is it common for the CEL to come on after people modify their exhausts? I went F.I CBE and HFC and have never seen the CBE light come on for the 20-25,000km I've had them on. I loved my exhaust, but I can understand elderly neighbors, and families with very young children getting pissed off about me leaving an arriving between 3-5am every morning and waking them.

i wouldn't worry about the CEL most good quality HFCs usually have a second slot for the O2 sensors, which is there exactly for that reason. So the likeliness of getting a check engine light is very low. Its much higher with Test Pipes. Which you shouldn't really be running anyways on public roads.

Most aftermarket parts are sold with a disclaimer. Sure some HFC MIGHT PASS and say they will, but not all HFC are "street legal"

There is a big difference in the sound between TP's and HFC, make sure you know which you prefer before you go ahead and buy.
