Yes but that's only half of the story. Did you read all of the comments? If you did, you'd see mentioning of sound and most important, performance.

Also, if it were just customer service and fitment, it still wouldn't be enough to persway this many people to purchase the exhaust if there wasn't at least a competitive amount gains. So, we know that the F.I. CBE has at least as much gains as its competitors. This puts everyone at the same level. Now, like an interviewer to its interviewees, which candidate stands out the most. Wouldn't the CS and fitment then come into play? I'm not going to mention the manufacturer names cause I don't want to bash or offend anyone, but one had fitment issues from the getgo. The midsection piping was hitting the cross-brase, which required some improvising. Another company also had fitment issues AND packaging issues. Parts arrive damaged OR the wrong parts were sent (two left mid-seciont pipes....or vise-versa). I understand that some of the issues have been address.....but again, during the process of elimination, what would you pick?

Of course, you'd also have to like the look of the F.I. CBE. It's not for everyone, which I understand.

I too would like to see a direct comparison between the CBE systems. Unfortunately, know one really knows what BERK puts down. All of the documented dyno runs have been with HFC included in the equation. Between F.I. and STILLEN, they're pretty close in terms of HP. I believe F.I. puts out an average of 1-3 extra HP, which isn't much...so you can say it's identical. I forget the TQ numbers.
