Hfc & y pipe

Hfc & y pipe
I currently have the Tanabe axle back and Tanabe mid pipe on my awd coupe. I need to replace the cat converter and y pipe. I am debating on the Berk HFC and Megan Racing Y pipe. The Berk HFCs seem to have positive reviews. I couldn't find many reviews on Megan Racing Y pipe, however. How is MR as a brand in terms of quality? Because my car is an awd, I have so few choices for Y pipes. What other companies make Y pipes for awd coupes that I should check out? Thanks for any suggestions.

Megan is built in Asia. I heard some say Megan is built in Taiwan so a little better quality than China made. But I've also heard a lot of people say Megan is also cheaply built.
FI RHFC does minimize most the rasp/hiss. I can only hear that hiss when standing outside of the car.

Dzionassi: what kind of setup do you have there? I recognize the Tanabe midpipe because I have the same one. But it looks like you did some custom fabrication on it. Your Y pipe looks beefy also. Your setup may even fit my car. Do you have any video or sound clip of your exhaust?
Brad: I didn't realize that the Berk HFCs are not resonated. I already bought them and they're being shipped now. I only found out about the Fast Intentions RHFC recently (after when I'd already ordered the Berk).
Kroy: A coworker of mine has Berk HFC and Ark setup and I didn't hear any rasp. Some people say there's rasp, but he disagreed. I just came across Meisterschaft Y pipe after doing some more research, but that thing is expensive (compared to the cheapo Megan Racing one). I'm sure the quality of the Meisterschaft one is way better. I'm not sure if it will fit my car or reduce/eliminate the potential raspiness. I guess I'll find out how the MR one works out first and go from there.

Yes, this is Tanabe midpipe with Agency Power Y pipe ( wanted to match my berks 2.5 hfc). I removed center flange and welded in Vibrant 1142 3" Ultra Quiet Resonator + two more Vibrant 1792 Bottle Style Resonators in place of flex and installed much smaller flex....
I will try to get you sound clip later. i am running stock axle back right now, because tanabes gives me to much drone.
I guess will be working Helmholtz resonators
