i'd rock a test pipe. the smell is really not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. You really only smell fumes when you come to a complete stop. Which hopefully isn't very often.... the TP sounds great, no CEL, good price,and some decent gains..best bang for the buck. I also thought baout the HFC, but am 100% happy with the decision i made with the berk TP.

the smell may not be bad for you, but everyone else behind you will thank you for getting the HFC over the test pipe.

Any one running the Berk HFC without the exhaust resonator? I took mine off and am wondering if that combo will sound like the TP without a resonator.

I put on a Random tech converter. read a mag test where this was the most freely flowing. ALONG WITH THE bORLA EXHAUST it's not to loud until VTEC is engaged.

LOL its 45 bucks. Go ahead...seriously i wouldn't even look at that thing TWICE when normal high-flow cats cost over 200bucks. But get it if you wanna push your luck and having it blow out causing your piping to be clogged and something horrible happening to your engine. Berks is made very well and will last forever as long as you arn't boosted and your car backfires. it will be alll awesome for life
