Small increase in power going to the TP. Exhaust probably won't be louder at WOT but the TP may cut back on any drone.

Most HFC's are somewhere between 80-90% of total flow, compared to test pipes. By small increase, you mean incrementally small; like shaving weight only by swapping to a optima battery and saying your faster, small.

To the OP: Sound will be more boomy. I'd leave the HFC on if I were you. I switched from a 3" HFC to a 3" TP for an experiment, and I hate how boomy it is now, and plan on buying a new HFC soon.

Not worth the time and effort, IMO. Spend your money on something else.
