I can't do any videos (I haven't bought a video camera cause I just know I'd end up video-taping things I'd regret in a few years with my GF )

But I have a sound recorder and I'm planning on making recordings of my G with:
Stock exhaust
FI HFC's and stock exhaust
FI HFC's and cat-back

I had to do alot of mix and match when I was doing my research and I think I'd be cool to have some side by side comparisons with the same car for people to listen to.

I'll post up the first two prolly some time next week (assuming I can get the HFC's on by myself without a lift this weekend) but you're gonna have to wait a month or so for the cat back

Tony told me that the HFC will add another 7-9 horses ON TOP of the exhaust! The stock cats are a very restrictive part of the set-up, although once you see the stock exhaust off of the car, you'll see where the power from the new one is coming from. The stocker is a POS!

This exhaust compliments all of the intake mods that you described well. I don't think my car felt particularly happy slamming all that air through the stock one. Now it drives like it should.

Next up, HFC and AN OSIRIS TUNE! Nice!

Hahaha dude we are doing the exact same thing.

I've heard that alot about the stock cats; and beings as I plan on doing the whole system as soon as I get the money (IE next month ) I figured I'd just start with the HFC's first. Then the cat-back.. then the osiris.. Luckily I found an UpRev pro-tuner about 2 hours from my place so I can actually get it on the dyno and not just do the generic reflash

And sooner or later I gotta squeeze some tires into my budget... They're not lookin too good

I just noticed this, but did you not get a plenum spacer too? If you didn't you are missing out dude. Could be the reason your car wasn't running right? You need both the MREV2 and the spacer for a Rev-up

You got the right idea! Custom tune with osiris is the only way to go in my opinion, if you want the best tune. I found a shop close to me that will do a custom osiris tune for $590.00!

Let me know how it goes with the cats! I'm interested to see how it sounds with the stock exhaust. It might beef it up a bit! I never thought the stock exhaust sounded that bad, but the new one is BOSS! Everytime I see it I'm like Tony Stewart in that ArmorAll commercial......it's so damn pretty!

I got the HFC's installed this weekend, and I think I'm just gonna go ahead and call tony next week to order up the cat-back system as well

I am hooked.

It was a serious pain in the *** to install, but I got it done thanks to my trusty impact wrench Banged the *** outta my hands too... but oh well.

Replaced this:



With this:




My exhaust sounds 4000% better. It definitely freed it up too; I can really feel the difference when I'm rollin

This **** is off the hook

DOMO

(video doesn't really do it justice...)

Yup! That's exactly how I felt after I had my Berks installed a few months ago too. Love how it freed up my exhaust

That looks like sex! 100% pure hotness. Congrats bro! How are you enjoying the new exhaust?

Are you running it with test pipes or HFCs?

Yes... and the news isn't good
My order was supposed to ship between 4/30 and 5/6...
Tony said to give him a call if I haven't recieved an invoice by 5/6...
I call Tony on 5/6 and he tells me he's makin money hand over fist
and therefore is running behind schedule

So my new ship date is early next week.

If everything goes as planned install next weekend and pics/videos up by sunday
