I've gotten all of my interior and exterior lights from V-LED's and they're awesome. 5000k in and out, bright but looks amazing, especially reverse lights.

 

Hi guys i've been researching extensively on exhaust mods and i'm trying to decide what hfc to get. these things are so pricey! i was gonna get kinetix but i saw some universal magnaflow hfc for like $100. what's the diffrence and would i get as much gains as the over priced ones?

 

Universal cats come with no flanges. They would need welding work done to either the stock flanges or a 2.5" flange. As well as possibly needing extra piping to extend it long enough to reach the flanges. It won't look very high quality but you don't see under your car very often. I'm not a fan of universal stuff

 

And it still won't fit right.

 

Motordyne.com shoot tony a email. Art pipes are the hands down best for the g35

 

^^^ but art pipes are test pipes right? i heard they change the sound, and smell bad. also wont that throw codes on? and will it pass smogg?

 

Yea they are along the same line as test pipes and yes the sound will change. I was told by tony that if I ran the ART pipes with the stock muffler I would have a loud "rasp" sound, he then recommend me to ran a resonator to soften the rasp noise. As far as throwing a 02 seņor code I'm not sure, I haven't bought the art pipes yet and we don't have a smog test here in Florida. Hopefully a Cali member can answer that for you.

 

Even with high flow cat u may get a CEL.

 

The chances of CEL with hfc are next to minimal compared to tp's. i know for sure they'll throw codes, plus the smell and rasp? nahhhhh.....i'll pass. i'm just looking to find a good deal on a hfc and jump on it

 

Just pay the price for high-flow cats. After you buy $200 worth of cores (our cars need 2) you'll have to pay a muffler shop to fabricate piping to get them installed. Or $400 for ready to bolt on performance.

I've had AAM Competition HFC for two years now, no codes, passes MD smog (which is really just an OBD2 port scan).


Also, if you decide on test pipes and get a check engine light, the code can be disabled via Uprev tuning software.

 

AAM or BERK HFCs are going to be your best bet. I'd avoid Kinetix, they just are a cheaper quality brand overall. A part like these are worth the money you put in to them.

 

No fair I has code with my Berk cats I believe the pre cat 02 sensors are throwing the code tho.

 

As far as I know, ART pipes don't have rasp. That's why they are designed the way they are. The extra piece that is capped and comes out the side is what prevents the rasp. It's like a resonator basically

 

I know the art pipe was designed to eliminate the rasp noise. But now when I emailed the Motordyne company to ask if the pipes bolt up to stock headers and stock y-pipe, that I may have a rasp noise due to the stock muffler. May it was a plot to get more money out of a customer idk... I'm was stating what I was told

 

No they're right in a way. Some say the ART pipes accentuate your stock exhaust note and some say it just adds rasp. Art pipes are really best off paired with an entire catback-preferably theirs. Listen on YouTube for clips of it with stock exhaust
