gains are supposed to be 1 whp/wtq less than the testpipe, don't quote me for it but i recall it being able to flow 80% the test pipe volume and it's way higher than the stock cat.

regarding smells, i don't recall any. the header made a stink for a week or so then was gone. i also reset the ecu after every mod i ever did also if that mattered.

I've had this Berk HFC on my boosted S for about 3K miles, 5k total with NA. No tp smell whatsoever during both applications. I couldn't be happier with this, since I do live in CA.

I've had both the TP and HFC (Currently). I don't consider the smell from the HFC the same as a "TP smell". Its more like a HFC "break-in" smell. Mine went away after about 2 tank of gas.

I think the smell goes away quicker if you drive it hard on a warm/hot day.

The break-in smell is not where nearly as bad as your usual TP smell.

What do you mean by "Blew through it"? Is this something I can avoid?

Any idea how well this works for boosted cars? I am considering one.
i'd like to know the answer to this too, or if a random tech 7000 series or so would be better
