Hi...i just put on a FI HFC (used HFC) on a 2010 G37S sedan and when pulling hard it give off raspy sounds. When shift it sound like metal to metal contact. and when corner hard it also sound like metal to metal grinding. Is this normal?
Thanks.

Now you need a full catback exhaust to drown out the rasp.

Yeah, when you get on it with HFCs, you do get a rasp. It's mildly annoying in my mind. Now, the hiss I oddly like...

It does sound good! but HFC in Cali are pretty much illegal, I bought one for my SE-R & got every excuse for installing it!

Put the stock cats on. HFC are just raspy.

HFC Raspy
So the only way for it not to sound raspy is the stock Cat? Is there any other way to get rid of the rasp?
Thanks.

change up your resonator to a larger one. it will help reduce the rasp. or go larger mid pipe.

Add a full catback exhaust.
