Test Pipes or HFC?

I'm running the HKS Hi-Power Exhaust and want it to be a little louder but without completely changing the sound of it. Is anybody running Berk High Flow Cats, or Motordyne Test Pipes with the HKS exhaust and could give me some positive or negative feedback on the sound? or even an opinion on which one I should go with? Thank You!

Just depends what you are looking for. High flow cats will make it louder and add power gains but if your looking for the most power output go with test pipes. However test pipes will make your car even louder and and raspy. I run Berk test pipes, however i run an Invidia exhaust because it is a quiet system and helps to almost eliminate the rasp. HKS alone is quite a bit louder then invidia so if you ran test pipes you will get rasp and some drone. But you will have more power

You are very welcome!

How do you like it? With these pipes it definitely opened up the exhaust so if you like a little more tone this is for you. I like it but I can't keep them unfortunately.

im getting fast intention resonated hfc. A lot of people said it makes any exhaust sound better. im just having them put on my ipl exhaust to make it a little louder. Should give it a look since there is a group buy on it also.

Highly recommend high flows over a test pipe. The HFC will give you alittle better sound and more power without spewing out emissions.
I hate it when I'm behind a car with no cats, the smell and pollution is disgusting. Using a test pipe is pretty selfish if you ask me.
