Ah - maybe I shouldn't have gone with the metallics then, haha.

 

some one should take a vid of stock cats, than HFC, than TP on a stock exhaust to show everyone the difference

 

People have posted soundclips of test pipes with the stock exhaust. There are also a few soundclips of HFCs with stock exhaust.

Search around on here and on youtube.

 

yeah, do test pipes so the car can sound like a 4 cylinder ricer.

 

not true my fast intent MFC do not sound anything like rasp or TPs. So i wouldnt put that up as a fact.

 

Do it mang!I nominate you.

 

man i STILL dont know what rasp is

five been reading this board for a while now and every time i read that someones got rasp SO bad that they needed to switch exhuast/cats

i still havent gotten to that so i either like the sound of rasp, or i have a high tolerance. I've read many descriptions of what rasp is but i still dont know. WHAT IS RASP???

 

drive behind a riced out honda, put the windows down and listen to the fart can.... thats it

 

hey whats up...

ive read thru this post.. its pretty discouraging... for HFC...

I was thinking of getting some Berks.. now im quite hesitant to change my OEM cats all together..

currently I have Ichiba Ypipe and Tanabe SMH exhaust.. no headers.

is it still worth it to add HFC's if you still have OEM headers...? or is that just pointless..?

or wich is more worth it.. Headers or HFC..? although I know it costs a **** load to install headers... so id likely never get headers.. unless I go Supercharge..

thanks
Tony

 

crap ordered Berk High flow cats for my car with stock exhaust and now im hesitant to install them lol...I got the HFC to not have the rasp but apparently with the metallic HFC from Berk thats exactly what I get...will these atleast make me some power?! grr!

 

^^dont worry man, even if there is rasp (some members say there isnt) it isnt gonna be too bad. I mean, im not bothered by anything from this setup so it must not be too bad.

 

i hope so...I receive my hfc's tomorrow and ill let you know if I like it!

 

I want whatever Jes Z is running.

 

overrated.

 

+1 For so long as it does not sound like a Civic.

 

don't worry, you're not alone. Most people here don't know what it is either, or they mistake it for something else (exhaust leaks, for example). At the end of the day, rasp, or lack of, "good sound", "loud", "deep" or "throaty" is all in the ear of the beholder. Your absolute best bet is to go to a meet, check out what combos people have on their cars so you can hear for yourself, and decide from there.

 

Gahbage! That's what I's got.

 

what is your goal?

 

what combo of tp will go with invidia n-1 with the least amount of rasp you think?
