Anyone with HFC or Test Pipe regrets?

I've been thinking ART pipes, should keep a nice tone. Not to mention they have cancer absorbing resonators.

Art pipes create Rasp unless you buy the complete motordyne exhaust. (Per Tony at Motordyne. The computer design Hurlwitz resonated tubes only work with their system)
I love my ART'S mated with my Ti look, Top Speed exhaust. It's kinda loud, but sounds great to me.

I have the Motordyne exhaust already so that is why I will probably stick to the art pipes. Even though they are expensive.

Obviously the stain is most noticable with white cars. My test pipes stain my bumper very bad. Use Meguiars paint restoration which takes it right off. I have HFC on the way which will hopefully reduce it. The exhaust smell does get annoying at times. I have FI CBE and HFC on the way. Should make my car sound so much smoother although i'll def lose some power going from straight pipes to this
