Gintani Catless vs HFC

Guys - I'm running Gintani Catless with Borla Race rear and OE Tune. If I put my Gintani HFC's back on would that be 1. safe with the tune? 2. How much RWHP loss approx would I see?

Reason - I may be looking to run a little more refined setup and take some of the rasp away.

I don't see a reason why your car will be unsafe.

but I do think you will lose about 10rwhp

There shouldn't be any reason for it to be unsafe when going from catless to HFC. As for power loss, I would say up to 10rwhp, nothing more.

I barely noticed any power loss when I put HFC's on my gintani catless. As for the rasp, it may help slightly but I honestly say slightly as it doesn't really change the tone of the exhaust, more like the volume. I say change out your mufflers if you want a different tone/no rasp.
