SVRTech 2.5" dual exhaust group buy.
on passing inspection?
that's what i was just thinking... WTF? in order to pass inspection we're going to have to (once a year) remove our exhuast and replace the stock (or whatever you have now) exhaust with the cats, and go get it inspected... that idea kinda sucks... but at the same time seems worth it for just the sound... for me HP is second... (i don't race too often)

I installed the Ultimate Racing HFC's on an OEM exhaust as a starting point on my exhaust mod's and the sound difference is measurable. 8db at 3,000 RPM in neutral vs. OEM. Under load at higher R's is even greater. Has a real muscular sound. Add a SVRT system or whatever you like and be satisfied and DONE. No need to create more work and more pollution with a TP setup. You like dirty air?
Adding a free flowing exhaust after the most restrictive part of the system (OEM cat's) doesn't allow you to realize the full potential that your new system offers.
If the budget allows (or you have a generous GF) go with HFC's and a new exhaust. You will maximize performance and sound AND pass smog test.
This group buy is on a 2.5 inch system that does not have, and cannot have, HFCs, stock cats, test pipes or resonated test pipes as it is one piece in that area of the exhaust. So the above post is mute.

Thanks for the clarification......wouldn't even consider such a system for a street car. Track car is another story.

that's what i was saying... this system replaces everything from the headers back... so HFCs, TPs or anything else of that nature is ineffective due to the exhaust design... changing it once a year wouldn't really be a problem because i have the large ramps that raise my car nearly two feet off the ground... and changing an exhaust is just a few simple bolts...
just the idea of doing it... and if anything will eventually lose it's strength over time with constant handling... y'know?

hfc can easily be cut in the front pipes. it would be very easy for an exhaust shop to do it. not all states have a mandatory inspection, and most outer lying areas don't even require deq, but definately understand quite a few of you are not in those situations and have to do it every year.
treat the swap like a spring cleaning, lol, only comes once a year.
so many people start off with the test pipes as one of their first mods, that we wanted to include it in the exhaust and clean up the bends in that area too.

the first batch will be shipping this week, so hopefully others can post clips. they sent me the wrong radiator, so now i need to wait for the right one. so the 2.5" system will no longer be on my car. sorry guys, bad time for my car to break something.
