I'm not familiar with ECUTEK; do you know how it differs from Uprev or what it does better? I've had no complaints with Uprev.
I've never heard negative things regarding HFC. I wouldn't want to run test pipes cause I still need to pass emissions in VA. Back in the day I ran no cats lol.
The tuner has lot more control over ECUTEK than Uprev. On a N/A VQ with bolt ons... not really a difference. For forced induction you have benefit of more precise timing, speed density tune options, traction/ignition, you can run flex fuel too.
HFCs probably only gain like 5hp over stock cats... and they will blow out fast if you push the tune dont need to worry about that with the catless test pipes. It's obviously up to you but not worth the $500 for something you can't feel and the emissions trouble.
