Someone school me: Test Pipes vs. HFC's
Let me first start off by asking which companies make one for the AWD model? I see the ART pipes are not compatible with the AWD system.
Basically I'm looking to keep the stock VQ sound with an added growl to it but no rasp. Performance is not a main concern. Just looking for a bit more sound in the upper RPM range.
What is the difference between the two and what do you recommend?

HFCs are HIGH FLOW cat converters.

ARK claims to have developed a HFC with no rasp. not sure when they will release it.
honestly, if you're not concerned with performance gains and want to keep the VQ sound, just get an aftermarket muffler like the tanabe medalion (or cheaper copy like topspeed).

i would start with the tanabe and see how you like it. you can always add hfc/tp afterwards to increase performance and exhaust volume.

It sounds like I may go Tanabe (if cost is right) and not add anything else. Like mentioned, I'm going more for sound than performance. The Tanabe doesn't have rasp at all so maybe that is what I should be looking into.

Amplifying the stock exhaust note will make rasp noticeable
Get an aftermarket muffler
