370zdub · 03-07-2010, 08:38 PM

^^haha it was terrible man, Mine showed up on the fifth like they said it would. Its still in the box in my garage waiting for install.

theDreamer · 03-07-2010, 08:39 PM

So besides Mike, does anyone have this installed yet?
Geez, I might be the first (get mine tomorrow or Tuesday).

370zdub · 03-07-2010, 08:41 PM

I don't think so, I'm pretty sure mine was the first to show up but due to the weather here there hasnt been anyway for me to get it on.

radio5boro · 03-07-2010, 09:22 PM

its still a little cold out here in nyc, and i get mine wed. I doubt i'll install it this week or next, i've been lazy. and i'll be installing it at my friends yard along with the FI HFC's.

Mine will be installed on Tuesday. While I'm a network engineer for a living, and computer nerd on the side, I'm terrible at stuff like taking/editing/uploading videos. I'll have a review though!

My exhaust shop was too busy to install it yesterday. It was the first day of 70+ degrees and sunny, so everyone and their mother was there.

Today, pouring rain for 12+ hours, I'm sure they'll be able to fit me in.

awesome, can't wait to hear a video from someone who will have what my setup will be once I can actually purchase a Berk CBE (Stillen G3 Intake, HFC, Berk CBE clip).

Well it' here Berk is in the house.............. Now if I wasn't out of town working I'd have it on by no,w.

Just got mine installed today. Took about an hour and half, no lift got down and dirty underneath. Sounds great. Everything went in perfect. Great job Berk.

please post some pics of exhaust tip alignment ASAP, thanks!

Also, how was the exhaust packed, what packing materials used (if any), condition of the box upon delivery.

Congrats! post a video, let's hear the damn thing Bubba!

Excellent review...2 quick questions...is it safe to say under 3K RPM sounds stock? and was the experience and sound what you expected from the sound clips that were floating around?

Under 3k is tame. You get the tone, just not the growl or volume, if that makes sense. Driving through my neighborhood at 2.5k rpms produced very little sound, sort of like a heavy idle.

The sound clips, similar to other exhaust systems out there, don't do it justice. The berk video on YouTube is a pretty realistic comparison to what mine sounds like, but it only has idle revs, not a take off. The accelerations at 4k+ rpm are where, in my opinion, the beauty of this exhaust is heard.

I figured that the sound clips don't do it justice....was pretty impressed with the Berk Video on idle rev as well as the in cabin footage put up by Minicobra...but nothing beats the actual 1st hand driver's experience...Thanks a lot for sharin' Matt
