HFCs are cats. What do you think the C in HFC stands for?

No. If you get Megan resonated TPs then they will replace your OEM Cats.

OEM Cats, HFCs and Test Pipes all install in the same location (between the headers and Y-Pipe).

get the HFC or the TP. No sense in getting both. read on what you should expect and what the outcomes of each are before you post anything else...in this thread or any others.

im confuse again.

Other member said HFC is another option. That means i can put in both Test pipes and HFC.

HFC just replaces the CATS and i can get a Berk HFC and replace my stock cats and get Megan Resonated Testpipes to add on

Your OEM cats can be replaced with HFCs (high flow cats) or test pipes. They all bolt into the same place. So you only have the option of getting HFCs or test pipes. You can't really add anything on if you get either one.

TBW said to get HFC or test pipes. No sense in getting both.

HFC and test pipes are both OPTIONS. Get one or the other. Not both.

HFCs and test pipes install in the same location. You can't have both.

Clear enough?
