**HELP** Can't make up my mind, BERK or F.I.

xbigb4ller69z

I marked stillen out of the picture. It's going to come down between BERK and F.I. I've searched the forums, and I think people lean more towards F.I. because of fitments, costumer service and quality.

The only thing that drives me away from F.I. is the looks. It just reminds me of those ricers honda civics with big canisters. Price wise, I can get the BERK CBE and HFC shipped for $1,300.00

Any inputs? please let me know your inputs, before I make a wrong decision lol.

If you really aren't sure, then flip a coin, go with whatever is cheapest, I don't know.

They're both great systems from what I've heard. Seems like you have reservations about the looks of the F.I. system. Sooooo, then go with BERK.

But man, are you really asking us to make the decision for you, especially when there's tons of information about the two on these forums? Come on.

agency power is very deep and aggressive and the canisters are hidden i have mine paired with the Berk HFC and i love it and you can get the exhaust for under 1000 through VIVID RACING

This may sound counter-intuitive, but believe it or not, the carbon fiber muffler option is WAY more low profile. It almost blends in with the black paint.

you could get the FI and paint the canisters flat black like the stock muffler. I did this on my last 2 cars and it looked WAY better.

I myself looked at the Stillens, Berk, FI, etc. I finally settled on the AAM Competition CBE with HFCs. The sound for me was not overpowering but was still strong in the low end and throughout without the rasp of some. Realizing everyone has different tastes in exhausts and the sounds they want, that is my input. If you are only looking at the FI or Berks I'd say go with FI. Good luck on whatever you choose!

The F.I. exhaust is far from ricey. I know it reminds you of rice becuase of the use of can mufflers, but there's a big difference between a can muffler on a finely engineered setup and a fart-can muffler fit for install on a '95 Honda Civic.

Keep in mind that a lot of online pictures of the FI are trying to show off the exhaust and thus are taken from a very low view point. Someone posted a few pics from a standing view and it was much more subtle looking.

FI best all round IMO.

It all comes down to preference...As mentioned by others both are great exhausts....I too initially didn't really care for the FI look...I prefer the sleeper look which is why I went with Berk...Plus liked the sound of the Berk overall....I do have to admit though that the look of the FI exhaust after some time has grown on me...

The look of the FI is popular here on Guam, as many 350Z's sport exhausts which are FI look alikes....this factor also swayed my decision to go with Berk....Since both exhaust's are custom made, you can expect a wait for your exhaust to be completed.
