hfc or test pipes?

Ok so I recently bought my xo2/kcr exhaust and I want to know what is the better option hfc or test pipes and would work great with the xo2/kcr. Also as alot of people on the forms im kinda on budget so if any body could help id really appreciate it and videos would also be very helpful if you would like to show me your setups.

Test pipes will be more raspy. Does your state have inspections? If so do HFC like said above.

You guys need to use the search feature. That's how I've found ALL of my info.

I have Megan Resonated Test Pipes on my x02 and in regular cruising it sounds GOOD, but under heavy load at 3,000rpms and up it'll rasp.

My setup has an engine light and my friend with the same setup doesn't. Just luck with the built in sensor extenders.

Florida? Do they even have any car laws? Go ART pipes, great sound and the best power.

Probably, HFC will give you similar gains, no rasp and it wont hurt the environment

I like my berks, but kinetix are cheaper and they do pretty much the same job, if you have stock exhaust it will make it sound better too

ART pipes > HFC > TP in my opinion.
