This again?
A HFC will cost you a few bucks more, but it'll make nearly the power of a TP, not smell nearly as bad, and keep you on the right side of the law. For a daily driven car I would definitely go with a HFC. For a weekend only racer, a TP.

On top of that, anytime you go on a group drive....TPs go in the back of the line because of the smell.

Yessssir! I know there's a great amount of threads on this topic but as you can see, people have different opinions. I merely was looking for consensus on the topic

I live in California (land of the stupid laws) and being on the right side of the law is stock cat

Technically, the HFC is also illegal. At least with the HFC ,if you can pass emmissions and the HFC isn't noted, you are within the law until it is noted. Of course, this may never happen and you have the knowledge that you are operating as a responsible citizen.

It only costs a little bit more to be hassle free

i was using a test pipe for the last 4 years and finally decided to get a HFC. i didnt mind paying the extra couple of hundred for something that, even though would fail visual inspection, is a lot more compliant with emissions and the enviroment. losing 3 hp wasent that big of a deal.
