Received the Berk CBE last Saturday March 9th. I had them sitting in my living room. Every time I would go up the stairs I would see them, sitting there in their boxes. It drove me nuts.
My daughters boyfriend is a mechanic. He attempted to install the new Berk system from the ground with the car up on jack stands. He called a friend of his who owns a full body auto repair. He specializes is BMW's and Honda's. Well he has 5 lifts in his shop. He made a phone call and off we went to his shop. This shop was immaculate. 5 bays and the place was just perfect. I mean you could eat off the floors in this place. Everything was in its place where it should be.
Anyway, this was after hours so we were the only one's in the shop. I had to sit in the waiting area and was not allowed in the shop area due to liability issues.
When they were finished, they called me in the shop to hit the start button for the first time. First impression was, WOW
I am very pleased with the sound and performance of this exhaust. This is what the Z, IMHO should sound like. Deep and throaty with no drone. When stepping on it, it makes such a beautiful tone. The sound is really something to behold in person. Upon WOT, it just sings.....nice, very nice indeed.
Throttle response has improved, in addition to what feels like low, mid and high range improvement as well. The butt dyno don't lie.
Berk has done an awesome job. Love the Round Tips........I was told the Berk lined up just perfectly without any modification required. Using the lift, from strip down to new install, took all of 1.5 hours.
Now, I think it's time to upgrade to Berk HFC's. The guy who owns the shop said I could come back anytime to install them.
Very, very satisfied indeed.
