HFCs are not to bad, but the TP smell doesn't bother me at all. I finally took off my BERK HFCs because the Connection flanges warped from the heat, (which is a fairly common problem I hear). It caused the CELs to come on a lot and smelled way worse than TPs because the exhaust was leaking right under my seat ( I do track some, so your results may vary) TPs cause less "back pressure" in the exhaust. It lowers your torque a bit, and enhances HP a lot, but it also takes pressure off the exhaust corridor releasing heat better and solving annoying leaks. (at least it did for me) IMHO, its a very good mod if you push your car like I do. HFCs eventually were very problematic for me and talk about smell!
