Berk Exhaust Production with X-Pipe

ZForce · 01-02-2010, 01:22 PM

Dreaming of the day when I can afford the CBE x 2 It sucks having twin 370Z's in the family, every mod is double the cost.

Yeah that must really suck.

A few people wanted to hear the exhaust from inside the cabin, so here you go. I apologize for the poor video quality, it's just a point and shoot mounted on a gorillapod flex mount. It's a bit shaky, but I think it will give you an idea.
This is just some mild street driving, until the end about 1:35, when I open it up a bit to chase down an M5, thought it was an M3 in the clip

I've got a few clips, I'll link them up once they are done processing on youtube. Here is the first one, enjoy

This next one is on the freeway, to show that there is no drone at cruising speeds, mostly all the noise that you hear in the video is road and wind noise. This set-up is barely any louder then stock while cruising steady.

Ok, last in-car clip, some mild cruising on streets in 3rd & 4th gear, WOT at end.

nice balance between loud on WOT and civilized on cruise mode.

Thanks, man, you confirmed my choice of the CBE

Yep, that's exactly how this set-up is, you can cruise around relatively unoticed, or give it a little more to make them notice......then you can unleash the beast at any time!!

I'm uploading another video with some freeway cruising, so you can see how it doesn't drone at all.

I'm only going with the CBE for now. Once I have it on, I'll post a vid.

Your welcome, thanks

There was a little tweak they wanted to make on the tip adjustment, but that was it, so I'm pretty sure they will be in full swing production within then next week or so. They do have some back orders, but I don't think it will take them that long to get caught up.
