Need help choosing HFC

littlejuanito · 07-23-2017, 12:19 PM

I’m about to purchase some HFC but I’m unsure if I should go with the resonated or non resonated versión. They will be paired up with an already installed non-resonated FI CF CBE and will be ecutek tuned right after.

Will this setup be too loud, too much drone or just right. I know sound is subjective so I wanna hear the opinion of those that actually have a full non resonated set up (hfc and CBE)

Thanks.

Miss Z girl. Thanks for your reply. Obviously if I posted this is because I did not yield any results to my specific set up and I had no option but to ask. I apologize if I did not specify this on my post.

Just trying to help, figured that was why so many views but no response. Best of luck!

I have the FI non resonated exhaust, and Berk HFC (no resonators). I don't think its too loud, nor does it drone. Its loud when you get onto to it and accelerating, but cruising its fine, nice and mellow. Im happy with mine, and I use mine as a daily driver.

Only one I can find so far. Non-res HFC and non-res CBE

I posted this here before, but it applies here too:

Here is a video of my car at Dynosty while they were tuning it.

So I uploaded two different version of each video here. I normalize every video audio file I have because I hate things being different volume levels. However in this case, people might want to hear "un-molested" video file. However in this case the video recordings where really quiet I think, so I have uploaded both versions.

First to Second rip, sort of a 0-60 I guess

First to Second rip, sort of a 0-60 I guess (Original / No Audio Processing, will be quieter).

Low speed cruising, leaving the neighborhood, etc.

I think so. I wanted something that was louder than stock, but no exhaust loud. My daily drive is mostly highway, and its fine. On trips my seat is a problem, the noise is not. I can still have conversations with people next to me in the car.

I dont know why people act like the non resonated exhaust is so loud. I know everyone's tolerance is different, but I think it sounds great, without being obnoxious myself.

Just my 2 cents though.
