Exhaust Install

lol - well, i am still debating whether to go the test pipe route or the HFCs.. i am just concerned over the fuel smell from the test pipes.

unless there is a leak, there shouldn't be an issue with any fuel smell

Really? my understanding was that the fuel smell was noticeable at a stop with the windows down. Is that not the case if there is no leak?

I think there are a lot of variables at play here. Which exhaust with which test pipe, and what other mods and tune did people get the fuel smell.

Whether to go test pipe or HFC, I guess the best question would be what are your future plans? As far as non-resonated test pipes go, some people think they tend to sound a bit raspy. I'd say it'd be best to go to a big Z meet like the upcoming Z fest and find people with test pipes and HFCs to take your for a spin on the highway. See how they sound at idle, at full throttle, and at a cruising rpm.

Unless you're driving behind a Stillen SC'd car with one of their tunes.
In which case, you can turn up the boost from all the extra fuel in the air.

I'm sorry, I had to. You left yourself wide open for that one.
