Helix HFC vs Helix Test Pipe

Im wondering how good the helix high flow cat is compared to the test pipe. I know there is a difference but Im just wondering how good the helix hfc is.

Also how much louder would it be?

Well right now I have the high flow cat, thats why im wondering if its worth it to get the test pipe, where I live I dont have to pass emissions so thats not a problem.

A test pipe will always flow more than any high flow cats. However, we have seen good gains on the Helix HFC as its metallic design vs other ceramic. I would recommend a test pipe if you have no problem with the local emission and a Helix HFC if you can't stand the smell. The difference in whp should be around 7-10whp with a test pipe.

thanks,
Tom
