Get the Berk HFC since it will just make the stock tone a bit louder and deeper

The previous TopSpeed exhaust had a really really deep exhaust note while under 3k RPM.

OP, get the HFC's now so that you get the labor out of the way. If you want to add an exhaust in the future it'll be easy since you won't have to ply apart rusted flanges, etc.

Doooh!!! my bad lol, Good man you won't regret having the ART pipes.. although at the beginning the smell sucks man. Should fade away and make the smell a lot milder after they are broken inn.

F.I. HFC don't throw a CEL, I have mine for almost a year (11 months) no problem. I don't know from experience, but I read that the Berk come with anti-fouler and it won't throw you CEL.

Hey guys, I don't want to start a new thread about this so here's my concern- I want to reduce exhaust vibration b/c cabin noise is a bit annoying. I have Top Speed Headers, Kinitiex HFC, Hr Y-pipe, and RSR GT2 cat-back. Question: Will exhaust wrap help and since I won't be able to wrap the headers (b/c It's not worth taking them off again) will wrapping all other parts of exhaust except headers be harmful in any way to the headers?? I ask b/c IDK how it works but I'm thinking that the heat will increase in the headers when all the other parts are wrapped.
