Bank 1 is passenger side. You could swap the O2 sensors from side to side and see if the code changes to at least be sure its a sensor. Strange that you have rasp, are you sure you don't have an exhaust leak?

Here's a heads up with BERK'S HFCs they already come with "Non Foulers!" If you're throwing an error code you need to look at the sensors by checking the codes or the other possibility is you have a gasket leak where the exhaust manifold and BERK'S bolt up. My error code was caused by the right bank primary sensor which I'm replacing....had to order from Infiniti. Let you know what the result is after I replace it.

I cleared the codes. Had a bad sensor.


As far as raspy, they are starting to mellow out. And when I say raspy, it may not be everyone elses idea of raspy. I HATE HATE HATE the typical Honda sound, and the first week or so it was too close for comfort to that.

I had my HFC installed last week. I recently notice a weird 'hissing' sound. Whenever, I rev and it drops 1 1/2- 2 RPMS it starts to hiss. It's getting real annoying too.

Could it be the OEM gaskets?

Might be a leak? Lift it and (CAREFULLY) get underneath and check for leaks.

mine is toning down and starting to get a low growl sound and low rpms, but its def LOUD, and really loud when you give it hell. I've got a video of a buddy taking off from a light, just gott aedit out the long wait for a green.

just uploaded so the quality is crap until it completely processes, and my camera doesnt pic up things at night well, but gives an idea of what it sounds like. When it takes off, the stoplight is a good 3 blocks away, maybe more, and the road angles away from the camera.

like I said, not too loud when kept 2500r's or below but it def gets loud once you get above 3k.

Your G sounds good to me . I didn't hear any type of rasp but maybe it just one those things, where you just have to be there to notice it.

But I'll upload a clip of my G reving. As soon as I figure out how to upload videos. haha

Once they got some miles on them the rasp started to go away. I like the tone now, could be a little deeper but that will come with a y-pip and exhaust. It's just hella louder than I expected, and louder than people said they would be. I'm not 17 anymore ,I dont want a loud obnoxious car anymore. Yes, it comes with the territory, but for just HFC on a stock system its freaking LOUD

^^^ I have a stock exhaust myself. I can't really tell the difference if my G got any louder. It sounds the same to me tho.
