FI HFCs do not emit overt gas/exhaust odor. My FI test pipes on the other hand, holy fvck, it's intense odor.

The FI test pipes are a little louder and gruntier, throaty, whatever, than the FI HFCs. Both sound absolutely amazing with the FI Intimidator exhaust.

But I'm sticking with test pipes from now on.

An exhaust is supposed to make noise

What sound are you talking about? You have to be very descriptive for anyone to have a slight idea of what it MIGHT be.

so I have a z1 Y pipe , total flow bullet racing resonator the smallest one they make with 3in inlet 3in outlet and the muffler delete dual exit now should I get the berm resonated test pipes or the kinetic regular test pipes since I already have a bullet resonator on my exhaust ?? I also have AEM/k&N CIA , z1 plenum spacer if that is going to make any difference in the matter
