Default HFC that will work with FI??

I have seen that Berk lists on their site that their metal core HFC works with forced induction, but have searched and seen that many continue to have failures on the Berks with turbo/Superchargers.
Is anybody running HFC with boost and having them last? Wanna run a cat, but my searches have led me to believe they all fail.

nothing will be bolt on. you wil have to chop your Greddy exhaust, or any aftermarket exhaust to change/add components.

I use those. They havent clogged yet, but they don't do much to filter out the fumes anymore after a year or so of hard driving.

Yes, integrating into my exhaust was a mistake. Next version will be v-band swappable.

If I could do it again I'd avoid cats completely based on how the effectiveness dies off. My vibrants don't so anything except restrict flow after the 1st year... With a decent tune the fumes aren't bad and the HFC's won't help with emissions testing anyhow.

With E85 fumes aren't bad with test pipes. Good cats do last but they cost 3x more. I have a pair of eastern 200 cells that definitely cut power but they eliminated the fumes also. They were more expensive than either the vibrant or the mil.spec cats. I still have the easterns as they worked great when I took them out but they are 3.5" diameter, so too big for my exhaust now...

If you dont sit in the garage idling the car and keep the vent on recirc, you dont get fumes without cats.
