Berk Exhaust Production with X-Pipe

theDreamer · 12-07-2009, 12:15 PM

I will have just Stillen Intake & Berk Exhaust when I get mine in (whenever that is), HFC will be bought in the spring.

Sounds great! I'd jump on this in a minute but since I plan on going with a TT setup 2.5" isn't wide enough

I was regretting my choice in this because of the wait but not anymore! Now they just need to get these shipping!! I will be running this CBE and Berk HFC's.

I'm not in perfect financial shape right now, as I'm purchasing a 2nd new vehicle for the fiance, but this is the "last" upgrade I really want, so the bright side is I'll get reward points for the credit card purchase, haha!

I'm pretty sure I know what it costs, but I don't want to put it out there before Berk does. Just know that it is very competitively priced against Stillen/FI and should be well below some of the more elite exhaust systems out there like HKS.

Is there any way to get dyno numbers prior to committing to the group buy? I'm very interested in this exhaust based on the vid...Thanks for any info you can provide.

The group buy is over unfortunately. The dyno results are here...

DDMotorsports: Berk Technology Cat-Back Exhaust

Basically the Berk Technology HFCs made 19whp and their cat-back exhaust made another 14whp on top of that. On this car, the first exhaust mod you do is going to free up the most horsepower so to have the Berk exhaust make 14whp in addition to the cats is awesome. I wouldn't be surprised if it made 20+whp on a completely stock 370Z.

TBSS2008 · 12-07-2009, 03:41 PM

Sounds great and the fitment looks really good too! I like how the tips are perfectly tucked under the rear bumper just like the Stock exhaust.

Nick911sc · 12-07-2009, 03:48 PM

So the Berk HFC are making 19 hp and the cbe is making 14? I don't wanna sound stupid but this is the first time I've seen the hfc making more than the cbe.

The first exhaust mod you do on this car is going to make the most gains whether its HFCs or a CBE. I dynoed the Berk HFCs with a completely stock exhaust system and made 19whp. If I had already had the cat-back on the car the gains wouldn't have been so high. On the flip side, if I dynoed the CBE with stock cats instead of the Berk HFCs, those gains would have been more than 14whp. Am I making sense?
