I would think he lost the power from switching out of the Berk high flow cats.

But, agreed that replacing the stock headers is a waste.

Are the Berk's CBE and HFC legal in CA? Do they come with the certified paper?

HFCs aren't legal.

Yes FI= Fast Intentions...If you're looking for something quiet, then FI would not be an option...They're one of the most aggressive loud exhausts...unless you go with 18" with stock cats...but it will still be louder than stock...The Nismo CBE is pretty tame

The Berks is ok when paired with stock cats, but if you put on some HFC's then you it is louder than the Stillen....In regards to the wait, it will be awhile...I ordered in March, was told April, then May, then June, now heard July...Someone threw out they heard maybe September...They're currently experiencing problems with their supplier

It's not quiet at all when I put my foot down, it is raucous.

From what I've heard, Cali emissions are really stringent, so probably not. You would pass in NY, but (depending on who you go to) they might not pass a visual inspection.

So alot of you guys are saying changing out the stock exhaust manifold is worthless. So are you saying you will see the same gains from just doing test pipes as you would with doing the LTH???

What's LTH for those of us not familiar with the acronyms and abbreviations. Like this guy
