Coulda been because he was tuned for his kinetics. Makes sense anyway.

Hell if I know what's gonna happen when I get those HFCs installed. Everything that I've read said maybe an initial cel, but when cleared it doesn't come back...if they get one at all.

Even though, I'm sure it won't matter when I get the uprev this spring.

 

I got one with my FI DRTPS. I took it to te dealer that installed them and the code was a bad cat. They cleared it and I havent seen it since.

 

No they don't throw any error codes. I've had mine for a while now and never got a CEL

 

DRTPS? Um... would that be resonated test pipes? I'm guessing here. And that seems in line with Rad_Slinger's comment, about throwing a code when installed, cleared, and not returning.

I wonder what that is causing that behavior?

Define "a while now", please.

 

Im getting my FI RHFC installed in a month on my G37 sedan. I'm thinking of putting the FI CBE next or maybe none at all if I like the sound. I want to do a tune but only after the CBE installation.

 

OK, Boss. Good for you. Nice story.

 

Haha you're just wrong buddy.

 

So far, two members posted zero problems with the FI cats (of 6 months and undetermined time frame, respectively), and two members reporting an initial CEL that got cleared and didn't come back. And then there are two members who are either going to, or would like to, install them, thank you very much, LOL.

It's a small sampling, but encouraging none-the-less.

I wonder if there would be more feedback in the Coupe Forum than here in engine & drivetrain? And likely the Coupe forum over the Sedan forum, too. Hmm.

Truth be told, I was naively hoping for a whole bunch of responses like Sunny G here, and even then, for periods longer than 6 months.

But still, that was a good post. Thanks, Sunny.

 

the FI RHFC are relatively new, they only came out a little over 9 months ago. If you had asked about berks or kintetics you would have more responses because they have been out for years.

 

I got them installed around July '12...so about 7 months or so

 

If they were going to throw a CEL error code, I'd assume it would happen immediately after they were installed. If there's no error code after a few months, I think it's safe to say you won't get one

 

Berk doesn't employ the J-shaped bung extension.
Not looking for a Berk HFC any more.
Didn't ask about Berk.
Pass on Berk.

I wonder what it is that causes a CEL after install? Purely supposition, but I wonder if the catalyst needs to be fired up once up front in order for it to be more readily effective down the road? "Bedded in", to use another automotive analogy. And if that's the case, what about new cars and OEM cats?

Thanks, Dr.

 

i wasnt suggesting berks, i was pointing out the fact that the FI rhfc are relatively new so they will not have as many installed as the others.

 

Thanks for pointing.

So how long has FI been selling HFC and TP for the G37, resonated design notwithstanding? Post #1 didn't specify RHFC, although that is the model I'm considering.

 

the title of your thread suggests that you were asking about the RHFC not HFC. FI HFC have been around for a couple of years
