recommend Test Pipe or HFC for my particular exhaust setup

Sup guys.. i have 2005x.

I'm putting on magna flow 14815 muffler, coupe mid pipe, m2 y pipe.

I feel like i need to finish it off with HFCs or TPs (to sort of start off with a somewhat new exhaust and to finish off the system).

I don't need to worry about emissions.

Can you guys recommend me to a few items for my particular set up.

Any critique is welcomed.

Thanks in advance!

TP and HFC's dont differ all too much in power, although TP's generally provide more room for growth due to less restrictions in the exhaust gas flow. But they have a big downside which is the smell of unfiltered exhaust fumes.

I have Berk HFC's and would recommend them, Fast intentions HFC's or resonated HFC's are well liked as well. I'm not too familiar with other brands, I'm sure others will chime in.

If you do decide to go with test pipes, look no further than Motordyne ART pipes.

ART pipes hands down. If you want HFC's I would recommend Fast Intentions. Too may people on here and that I know have had issues with the Berks, no offense Tukeeg.

I have the Berks with a Stillen Gen 2. If I had a do over I would get the Fast Intention HFCs. I don't think the ART pipes fit the AWD??

Well 2 ques, what's your budget?
And as mentioned above do you care about rasp or smell of fumes?
Since you have a single exhaust setup w/ y-pipe you will get some rasp with both HFCs & TPs, how much just depends on what exhaust you couple with it.
You will get less rasp with HFCs in general over TPs.
As mentioned above Fast Intentions is the **** and is more expensive, but I do like my Berks.

I had a Tanabe Medalion exhaust w/y-pipe and added Berk HFCs.
It was much louder with the HFCs & had rasp when I floored it, but I still loved it and stuck with the berks. Anythings better than stock cats IMO.
When I switched to a Fast Intentions true dual exhaust I kept the Berks on and the sound was incredible with almost no rasp.
It's just the nature of single vs dual exhaust.
If rasp is a real issue for you then you could consider Fast Intentions resonated cat pipes, but they're not cheap.
