I agree... what's with the long wait? What if I buy it frome some of our sponsors here on this forum? Don't they already have them in-hand?

Exhaust Name: Berk
Quality: Great..Welds and Pipings are awsome
Fitment/Looks:Perfect...No issues with fitment...Mine was from the 2nd batch...Has stock look and Pipse DON'T STICK out from rear bumper...Has a nice flush look...Tips are beautiful
Sound: As Matt put it..."EXOTIC" a perfect 11 out of 10... Really though this exhaust sounds amazing IMO....

Judge for yourself...Here's a link to my vid
YouTube - 370Z Berk Exhaust

As mentioned earlier...all the exhausts that you posted on your poll are great exhausts...It just all comes down to what you want and your preference...They've all got different styles which makes them all unique...as you can tell by your Poll and the F. I. Exhaust thread...F. I. is one of the most popular exhausts out there...If you're looking for a more stock/sleeper look, then your choices will be narrowed down.

Best of Luck!!!!
Wow Bolio... I need re-consider Berk. That look is almost stock. But the sound is sooo sweet. That's the stock sound I miss about by G35C, but a lot deeper and more authoritative. I just hate what they did with the stock 370Z exhaust sound. I can't even hear it from inside the cabin while driving. In your vid, it's even captured on an audio recording.

However, I did read somewhere on here, that there were some quality fitment issues with Berk initially? as well as bad customer service and long wait times? Does this still hold true today? And what if purchased through a sponsor, do I still have to deal with Berk directly for issues or do I still have to wait as long as I would for F.I. to purchase one?!?!?

That's ok... I welcome all your opinions... in the end, it helps me decide what I will get. As for F.I., though I like how it sounds, too much bling, sitting low, and the price are what's concerning me...

Right now, am debating between Invidia, Stillen, and Berk.
