Wierd, I have the fast Intention test pipes along with their exhaust and I don't have any rasp but do have drone between 1900-2500rpm. Thinking of putting in two more resonators in the mid pipes somewhere.

^ I don't think extra resonators will do much about drone.

Well **** then I guess I am stuck with this drone then, it ain't that bad it's just that I want to keep it looking and sound as stock as possible with added hp of course.

go with the tp almost any brand will do get them used also if you can. You will have a better gain and with the right combo there will be no rasp, i had 3 different setups all with different exhaust/ cat / tp combo and settled with the HKS and helix unresonated Tp I did the cell eliminator and it worked most of the time. For me the added preformance it was worth it

So dumb question...

Whats the difference in the $360 FI Test Pipes, then taking it to an exhaust shop to cut out the cats and custom bend straight inserts?

To those of you on the fence about this, I have a little info I've gathered during the last few days of having the Fast Intentions Res. TPs on my stock exhaust. I like everything about the sound except the sound it makes around 3k rpm. I thought I liked it for a while, but now I know I'm not crazy about it. I had to go to about 5 different places to find a place that would install them. I haven't thrown a CEL yet, but I suppose that will come shortly. I can constantly smell gas when at a stop or coming to a stop. The power gain is nice, but I'll probably get some Fast Intentions HFCs before I have to pass emissions in May.

Alright guys. Any updates with the Fast Intensions HFCs? I want to step up to HFCs with my stock exhaust setup for now until I can save up and upgrade the exhaust however I do not want to have my car reeking of gas fumes.

Between the different HFC makes, which one does NOT smell like gas/oil fumes etc?

Thanks in advance

Ive heard nothing but good things about the Crawford HFC's and the Fast Intentions HFC's. I dont think any HFC's should smell like gas/oil.
