Almost forgot to mention the berk hfc has been known to throw a engine light but with the kinetics they will not... You can get a set of kinetix for $399 shipped via ebay..

I will! I'm actually thinking about ordering some Berk HFC. Do you know anything about these HFC?

I had Berk's and loved them. Sound great, good gains and the fitment was perfect. Of all my N/A mods they by far had the most gains. I highly recommend them. They are a little raspy until they warm up but nothing to complain about. You won't be disappointed. Unfortunately I had them mated to my Stillen CBE and not my FI exhaust, so I can't comment on how that setup would sound.

Do you know anything about the kinitetix? forgot what they were called lol
Some are saying Berk will throw off the engine light and some say they don't. Im confused haha

Note: I'm going to install everything a week before or at Dynosty on the day I get my car Tuned lol

I would suggest researching both so you don't just go on a biased review... After researching many thread on this forum you will see what I'm talking about.. Ha, I guess that did sound kinda biased but it is factual... lol

Search BERK CEL

I don't know anything about that brand. I never threw a code with my Berk's and I ran them for 35k miles. Sold them to a buddy and he's running them now with no issue.

Not saying it doesn't exist but I've never seen anything that points directly to the Berk's causing the code.

COSMO · 02-04-2015, 05:01 PM

Ok buy the berks and be sure to follow up when your engine light comes on and then be sure to thank the BP Club of America, Jwick & topgunz...

So say you were to get 2 of the 3 combination that was listed CBE being a default, would you get a HFC or Headers? I guess i'm thinking in terms of if I change one thing, i'll want to change another so that the other parts can keep up with the upgraded part.

O it will help!! Sport package makes it worse. You have bigger heavier wheels and tires and rotors.

I wouldn't get HFC's. Whether high flow or not it's still a major restriction in the exhaust. Headers is the ultimate question though. Cheap test pipes cost almost nothing but you get a major jump in power deleting the stock cats. How much more power do you get though going from stock headers and test pipes vs LTH's? Is $1000+ worth that increase? For most probably not!

How come nobody mentioned a 4.08 gear swap? (Assuming he has a 6MT)
It's probably the easiest mod for power.

Next parts I'm thinking about getting is CBE, HFC and Header.

Now some people say I won't need a HFC because it justs makes the ride sound louder.

Would I be ok with just the CBE + Header? or would I also need the HFC so everything runs smoother... Thank you!

Im curious why did you buy a transmission cooler?

Check out my build thread for the cbe and HFCs. Fast intentions plus Berk hfc with stillen gen 3's sounds amazing. Really amazing in person. HFCs did give me a noticeable amount of power via butt dyno and they can be heard above 3.5k on stock exhaust.

Yea, I was hearing some clips with the berk HFC and stock CBE and the sound wasn't too pleasing haha

I have an A/T and I'm just making sure the transmission stay in top shape haha Being OCD doesn't help. Thinking about getting a Oil cooling kit but its not a daily driver and when I do push the car, it gets to 200.
