Just got some Crawford HFCs and HKS installed.
Definitely I feel a solid HP gain plus it sounds awesome.

Driving around with the windows down was no longer an option. You could smell mother earth dying. I'm currently back to oem cats but, if I was to purchase HFC's I would have to pick either Berks or pony up for the Crawfords. >my 2 cents
Well, at this point, I think i may pony up and just get the Crawfords. I want the best quality and performance and there were just way too many stories on the Kinetix quality and the Berk rasp. I've listened online to as many as i could and the least amount of complaints i read were from the Crawfords so wish me luck...Install should be this weekend hopefully.

Yash, i sent you a PM to see where you got yours installed.

dom - let me know how the crawfords work out as well as the install. hopefully i can find someone who has recently installed the newer Kinetix to see what they think since the price is great (not to mention the no CEL guarantee).

or maybe twalls will just convince me to get the berks...lol.

The install is really simple if any of you guys wana do it yourself... just really time consuming... The bolts might be tight as crap so be careful not to strip any of them... If you have the time and patience you can do it in 2 1/2 hours or less with simple hand tools.

I have the new style Kinetix's and I really like them no drone or rasp, I have megan racing y pipe and cat back with them and I think it sounds really good my wife thinks it's loud so remember sound is kinda subjective to each person.

Looks like we should have a mini exhaust sound meet this weekend. Preferably in an empty open area to not disturb others or get crazy stares when revving. I'll bring the camera to record the sounds.

Kirks06, bring your car too since i would like to hear the kinetix on your setup.

I'm gonna be getting there around 5:30ish or so after I get off of work...I know Tony and Will work in the same area that I do, but I don't know when they are heading over.

Kirks - did you buy direct from Kinetix?? How long have you had them on (time/miles)?
