Default Just got Kinetix HFC's installed..

So, I have an HKS TD exhaust, and JWT popcharger. Just got my Kinetix HFC's installed. I have to say, it added a tiny bit of rasp, and doesn't feel like it pulls any harder. Maybe slightly, but that might be me imagining it to feel like I didn't waste my money.
The only thing I haven't tried is resetting my ECU - could this be the reason I don't feel anything?

HFC = half the power for twice as much money (compared to straight pipes). They'll all rasp however. You probalby gained power but dont feel it

This is prob a dumb question, but are HFC's similar to resonated test pipes?

Feel anything? Like maybe 5 additional horsepower. That would be about 2 percent additional horsepower. You need a very sensitive butt dyno to feel a 2 percent change.

No. Resonated test pipes are similar to resonators (the function is noise reduction).

I definitely felt the additional power when I put on the Kinetix.
