HFC for TT setup?
 
My searching in this subforum has delivered mostly this information "FI Cars will destroy HFCs"...

What's the story here? Some general google searching shows that the Scooby guys use relatively inexpensive (~$100/ea) magnaflow cats and have them welded in.

My FI build starts almost exactly one month from now and I'd rather go the HFC route than test pipes, if only for the odor. I went ahead and bought some cheap test pipes to get me through the build... unless there is a reasonable solution, I'll probably try what the Scooby crowd is doing and weld in whatever cats they are using after I get the car up and running.

Standard HFC's are going to burn up pretty quick but a few guys have had better luck running their HFC's more downstream. Call Fast Intentions they can set you up with something.

My simple thinking is 2x the power = 2x the boom = 2x the heat. If the cats are realities in the stock position/distance as the OEM, they are goners.

FI will build you a set of lead pipes with HFC's in them. Then you can keep the test pipes you have and still keep the smell away.

Depends on how much boost your running. 4 psi your probably good. 6 psi it's debatable. 9 psi your stockers are gone. 12+ it won't matter where they are, they won't be there for long.

This is all theoretical.
