Comparison Vid: Stock, Stillen, and Berk :)
 

JB1 finally got his Berk all put together and man is it sweet. Here is a compilation comparison video showing a Stock (40th anniv), a Stillen CBE with ERZ Performance HFCs, and the Berk CBE with Berk HFCs.

I'm psyched to see this. But the video hasn't been processed yet.

One of the best comparison videos to date, excellent work buddy, didnt realize how tame the stock exhaust was until I heard it compared to the stillen/berk. Thanks for taking the time.

Thanks for posting...definitely helped me put a sound to the brands :tup:

Awesome video! Still doesn't help me decide which to get because both the stillen and berk sounded awesome.

The stillen seemed louder than the Berk at WOT or was it just the video. Or maybe it was because the berk sounded a bit deeper in its tone. Would you say that's correct?

I would have to agree with you watching the video

There are definitely differences that the video doesn't capture. The Berk is smoother and deep. The Stillen has a bit of raucousness to it, but it's an F1 goodness type of sound. Both sound great to me. I think either way, you'll be happy with your choice.

What, no F.I. exhaust? :stirthepot:

I don't know who was standing out there during the shenanigans sequence, but he took his life in his hands, would have made one helluva Youtube.

Seriously, thanks guys, nice job.

I think it just comes down to the bloke with the stillen exhaust was driving his car harder. Most of all in the in-cabin video.

:iagree: that's exactly how I would describe the difference between the two. And in the car the Berk one is louder. But this video was taken right after the install so the sound might mellow out a bit over time, based on what I read in other review.

So it sounds like we have to do one more vid Spear. This time with a couple of clean and identical drive bys: constant speed, WOT etc. and with some dB readings. Oh, but sans the shenanigans...

Let's see if Tony has sold one to someone up here yet. I'd be happy to get a vid and splice it in :). Hell, I want to hear one in person anyway.

The Berk and Stillen sound different at different times and somewhat close. Would have to see in person to really judge it.

listen right around 13 seconds, thats what a Stillen CBE sounds like when you really get on it, music to my ears. Sounds like a damn F1 car.

One question now that you guys are talking about Berk and Stillen...

If power was the only criteria to evaluate and both setups considered using Berk HFC's, which cat-back with produce more power? Stillen CBE or Berk CBE..??

So my question really is which setup would produce more power, Berk CBE/Berk HFC or Stillen CBE/Berk HFC...??

The thing is both sound really great to me with the Berk being more stock looking but that's about it...

Appreciate the input...

I don't recall seeing any Berk CBE dyno results yet...
