Which exhaust to get?
#13
P.S. - one of my front bearings was seized in the knuckle...took my 12-ton press and a 4 pound sledge to get it out. Yours were much easier for whatever reason.

Obviously, it's your call. For my application, it made sense. I have a bunch of pics of it, if you're interested. My exhaust got noticeably louder when I added a 200 cell/square inch cat and removed the stock cat. I used to top out around 90 dB at WOT and 50'. Now it's 97 dB at WOT and 50', which is a very significant change. When I had the stock cat, it was very streetable and decent for daily driving. With the HFC, I would not want to daily drive it.
I also built a 3" aluminum cat-back that dumped the exhaust at the rear axle. With the HFC installed, I registered 102 dB at WOT and 50'. It was literally painful when I was accelerating next to a concrete wall on an on-ramp, i.e., it would make me and a passenger wince when it was in VTEC. WAY too loud...

Iv been toying with this idea. Is it worth a go?

HFC, chopped OE catback, 97 dB
HFC, 3" AL catback, 102 dB
I don't have a video of the stock cat with the chopped OE catback using the same camera/mic as the two videos above. Here's one with a Sony point and shoot...
Stock cat, chopped OE catback, ~90 dB
HFC, 3" AL catback, 102 dB
