Oh dude....I pitty you when certain people read this. I say that because for the past couple of weeks this subject has been killed burried dug up and killed again!!! You may get lucky and escape the wrath because so many people already got demolished. I caught some shrapnel myself lol!
BUUUT.. to answer your question, if you don't mind rasp and exhaust smell then go with the PCDs, if you do mind those things, go with the HFPCs.

weld in a magnaflow#10426 resonator onto your exhaust. rasp is gone. the exhaust smells good after pcd install. i love it.

I hope you realize there was supposed to be some humor in my statement, but this subject has been covered extensively! As SharksBreath said, you can weld in the resy, but the smell will apparently always be there. It seems that some people don't mind the PCDs but some others wish they went with the HFPCs.

Here is one of my videos with the RV-6 HFPC/V3 J-Pipe set up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GizkA...eature=related

I was to nervous when it came to the rasp/smell issue so I decided to play it safe. For me, this combo was great. I have to ask if money is an issue because the PCD's are cheaper. Although they are cheaper, they do add a bit more power. I guess it is just personal preference

i heard if u want to get PCD w/o all the draw backs just add a resonator and it should be ok. Im going save $ and try to get into richie's 2nd batch of TD and get the complete exhaust (V3 PCD, V3 Jpipe, type S TD). Hopefully i can save enough to get it by the end of this summer

When I first got the PCD's installed, I took a video of a fly by with my new camera.
it replays fine on the camera, but when i transfer it to a computer, there is no sound.
the camera is a Nikon D7000.

I might be going to the track tomorrow night.
praying for a 13.2!!!!

I'll see if I can get some recordings tomorrow, with a friends HDFLIP.

shoot for a good trap. trap speed is what tells your power. and how do you get a great trap?

you say "fuck the 60ft, i'm street launching" and then you don't need to worry about anything!

shoot for like a 1.9 60' and you'll be fine.

Morrissey25, was this before you installed the full exhaust? Tnx.
Also, as far as the power, Rich guesses 3-5 hp less w/HFPC's, not enough to notice a difference from PCD's, if you were to switch from one to the other.
I ordered the same setup as you and they are on their way tomorrow.WOOOOT!!!!!

So I've gotta ask, do you have a four stroke weed whacker, cause there's a big difference between the smell of a two stroke (most w.w's) and a four stroke bike.

That video was before the TD install. I am super happy with the combo that I have and I don't think that I would ever change to the V3 PCD's being that I probably wouldn't even be able to feel the difference anyway.

BostonSilverTypeS has the PCD, J-pipe, and TD exhaust and honestly... the two different setups sound almost identical. So either way, a full RV-6 setup with PCD or HFPC's is a win win way to go

Thanks Morrissey, IMO you've got the perfect setup. For now on my DD I'll stick with just Jpipe and High Flows. When I get the Type-S, then the Full exhaust.

To the OP, like Morrissey said, with either setup you can't go wrong. If it comes down to saving a couple hunnit $$, go with the PCD's.
