You'll gain an excellent amount of power.


On the other hand. They're going to be noisy, raspy, and just plain annoying... I loved the power I got w/ my test pipes but couldn't stand the rasp.. Just sounds like crap.

Go with high flow cats.

Thats my honest, and unbiased experience.

Test pipes sound horrendous. A little power for making your car sound like a loud fart can beater? Go with the HFC's bro.

LOL...speak for yourself. I have test pipes and my exhaust sound sick as hell...NOTHING like a fart can exhaust. I guess it all depends on your setup.

I would take HFCs over test pipes any day. My $0.02. TPs are far too loud IMO. Not to mention they smell like ****

Yeah...that's really the only complaint...the smell. But it's not too bad once you get used to it. As for too loud...I like to hear the sound of the exhaust while playing the stereo, and it sounds badazz.

That sounds like **** IMO.

Why do you think it sounds sexy? If I wanted that sound I would drive next to a 95 civic with a fart can exhaust.

I consider this good sounding:

^^I think that sounds good. It is more "raw" and doesn't sound like a fart can muffler off a civic.
