Man.. I wish someone would make HFC / Testpipes / Downpipes, whatever you want to call them for the Coupe. I'd buy them in a heartbeat.

Is this something I could go to an average exhaust place and get done? I don't know how complicated something like this is to make..

Ok, so I just stopped by a local shop and asked them if they'd be able to fab up some testpipes. They said sure, but they'd really recommend me having a high-flow cat somewhere (for inspections), and suggested they maybe put it on the Racingline Y-Pipe. Do you guys see any potential issues with this? The thought would be then to have straight testpipes from the headers to the Y-Pipe, and then a high-flow cat somewhere along it and down to the Nismo cat-back. Thoughts?

If those sensor's aren't reading a cat for each downpipe you'll have that lovely CEL. You'd need high-flow cats.

unless you moved both sensors to the new high flow cat

I'm with some of the other people here. As long as the HFCs don't throw CELs, I'm in.

If Fast Intentions does make a production CBE for our cars. There will be a higher chance of making HFC/TP going into production. So for now, not anytime soon.

Damnit! I wonder if a muffler shop can just make HFC's in that case.

I know man. So far I've talked to one local place and they said they'd be able to do make them for around $300 installed. I'm going to be talking to the mechanic I normally go to and see if he could do them and how much it would cost. I really want these!

Actually there seem to be some pretty good ones on ebayhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ories

I think I'll be grabbing 2 3" HFC's and taking them to a muffler shop, should be less money altogether. Besides I heard muffler shop cats aren't as good as say Magnaflow HFC's
