HFC's + aftermarket exhaust

If you have an aftermarket exhaust and HFC's on your sedan please chime in. I would like to know if there is a big difference in performance by adding HFC's to your exhaust system. Also how much louder did it get. I currently have the gen2 stillen and looking into getting a quality set of HFC's but I don't really want it that much louder. Sound clips will be helpful also. Thanks alot guys.

soad- do you have any sound clips? How did it alter the original HKS sound when you added the HFC's? thanks

I had a set of Kinetix HFC's on my Borla for a little while. The did make it louder by a decent amount. I didn't like the sound.

dont get the Random Technology HFC they Rasp Horribly , Test Pipes will get even louder unless they are Resonated Test Pipes I think more free flowing compared to HFC.

It's expensive but I have found that two turbos and test pipes sounds the best. About as loud as the standard borla with a better tone.

i have never heard anything good for "Random Technology" . i had bought a set of ebay special test pipes (hated them, they made my car sound like a 4 cyl Honda with a pepboys special exhaust) so after i took them of i bought a set of magnaflow high flow cats and welded them in on to the test pipes .

Is it possible that the A/F has changed to the extent that timing is being pulled? I am getting the ECU re-flashed (again) tomorrow - and I really haven't driven it that much yet, but I'm hoping someone can chime in... Maybe the ECU needs to adapt?

All the issues I had yesterday and this morning are gone! It pulls strong across the entire RMP range no more sluggish response!

I’m much more satisfied with the HFC now… I’m perplexed though that they aren’t as loud as I thought (not that that’s a bad thing) – it is a little more deep tone, but not much different than before (Stillen exhaust)

I'm happy
