Hey, look at that... the resonators are stamped Sebring Tuning. Were these always Sebring parts, or is that something new for FI cats?
I had the FI RHFC matched up to the OEM exhaust for about a year. You get a little deeper tone, and a small but noticeable added grunt of power. Here's a link to my initial review on the cats:
Tip: after the install, remove the rubber dampers hanging off your mid-pipes. With the FI cats, those actually *create* vibration, rather than absorb it. Kind of weird, but true.
I don't have a direct before/after on the cats, but I do have a before/after on the cats+catback.
Please get a video when its complete. I'd like to hear this setup, I know there's other videos in existence but I need another to help convince me.
Definitely, I don't think there is one with just RHFC.

So far so good after 40mile drive.
As mention before, there is a small noticeable tone to it. I haven't launced on it yet, from 0. At Wot it sounds and feels nice. Did a video, but its too windy, tomorrow morning I'll do a cold start vid...

Stillen CAI next??
Nice, this is what I am wanting to do but I read so many conflicting things that make me hesitate. I don't mind the slight increase in tone but I just don't want the smell or rasp and I was concerned the FI HFC don't have mounting brackets.
Is the power increase noticeable? I just did the Takeda CAI and now I am wanting more power...
I wouldn't say there is no smell 100% if you stay stopped at a light long enough you'll get a little bit of it but not as bad at test pipes.
Sometimes after I park my car, I get a burned oil or rubber smell, happens every now and then and especially noticeable in my garage. Because I work in sales, I don't want any smell in my car and I can't have loud exhaust tone either. A decade ago, I had a Supercharged RSX-TypeS with full bolt ons, those raceheaders made my car stink. Wife hated it.
Although its probably too early for me to say this, I haven't smelled anything too.
What happen to your RHFC?
the honeycomb inside the cats went bad or something. when i m stopped and start to accelerate it rattles/rasps. you can really hear it in a drive thru.
But when the cats were good it sounded beautiful. I might pick up some Z1 HFC since they are cheaper and throw them on since i did the RHFC not too long ago and the bolts wont be too bad this time around.

The first half of that video is the FI RHFC with OEM catback.
