Funny thing is, a couple of shops, even Tony at FI told me I am going to yield 2-3 hp here in Cali, however some members are claiming 10+hp...

Can anyone in the So.Cal area with either FI/Berk HFC can post a dyno with everything else stock?

Tony claims I won't see power unless I have a full cat back, Lou also confirmed this too when I asked him.

Without aftermarket exhaust HFC is useless?? Also, does it have to be full exhaust system?? Not just axle back?? ex Tanabe Medalion or Greddy..

Skyline- I was told that WITHOUT a FULL catback it is completely useless to get HFC only yields 2-3 hp.

Sorry but Tony and Lou are wrong. I guess they just want to sell you an exhaust too. I am stock except for my Berk HFCs and I have my dynos up to prove they produce power. There are others on here that have bought HFCs only and have felt the difference. I know I can fell the difference. I would get whichever HFC you can get the best price for.

I would go for coils as they improve the look of the car and improve performace too.

The good thing about coil overs are that they are very easy to remove before you end up trading in the car. I would just do a catback, springs/coilovers, and high flow cats. Easy to remove and you can still make a little money once they are off your car. People usually change the exhaust for the sound, not to make power, unless it is a F/I application.
