I have heard 2 sides of the Berk story. The quality of Berks is questionable to me.

overheated Berk's HFC? - G35Driver

This was an openly discussed and fairly large issue on here a couple years back but for some odd reason... the threads disappeared. Hmmmm? Anyway. It is discussed here and there's an extra thread link to this thread inside it. Though the outcome was less here. I have read where they creamed in a few months on our cars. The melting process begins early on on many of them. Making them unusable quickly.

Stillen has been doing intakes HFC's and exhausts on Z's for years. What disappoints me about Stillen is there disclaimer negates them from ANY RESPONSIBILITY if a product is faulty. Anything past a visual inspection isn't there concern. Like if your car began overheating from a defect you couldn't see? You're done with stillen.
Though I know they make a superior product. I probably wouldn't give them my money based on that alone.On that basic level,they are more trustworthy in terms of build quality.
Look into FI. From what I can tell through various threads. Tony goes above and beyond and his build quality is excellent. He has a much better limited warranty against defects in functionality

We have a lot of Z1 loyalists on here. I don't know much about their HFC but many swear all of Z1 products are top notch??? Something else to investigate.
