BERK Catback Exhaust System installs/reviews

Holliday

It's a race! HAHA! I was the first to get mine shipped and I very well could be the last to get it! My freind had to repack it in three boxes to ship it to my military APO. I am having it shipped Parcel post also. I Should have it by the end of September if all goes well!

Got mine installed this morning, took about 2 hrs. This is my first experience with an aftermarket exhaust so i can't comment too much. I will say that the fitment is great and i love the sound. I don't hear what i would perceive as drone at the cruising speeds and at idle its not much more noticeable than the stock. Here is quick photo from phone.

I was part of GB #1 so I've had mine on since April. I'm happy with the fitment and especially the sound, sounds so much better than stock - like a real sports car even. One of the guys at auto-x mentioned that it sounded like finely tuned trumpets, LOL.

Only drone is at low RPM's while with partial load going up hill, not bad at all.

My only complaint is that the rear bend that goes under the chassis brace sits a little lower than stock and if I'm not careful it scrapes when going over bumps now that I'm lowered about .7". If they could get that bend a little more snug it would be perfect.

I love the alignment and style of the tips on this exhaust! I think that is what attracted me to this system. Plus it having a tame exhaust note.

You guys sure are making me jelious! I can't wait to get mine

Yes, the low key looks of the exhaust is actually perfect. Besides FI you can really only make tips/exhaust look good. Definitely not "fart can" status and certainly fits well with the sports car attitude of the Z. Not to mention it's great for ground clearance... it actually looks very similar to stock and I already like the way it looks.

I'd say the berk cbe coupled with the hfc really transforms the car and the exhaust is -- like someone else said -- no longer a sound but a tone

At least that's what I'm heard from videos until I get mine installed... either thurs or fri!!!!

This is what also attracted me to this exhaust...That whole "Sleeper" look...I LOVE IT!!!! Having the growl behind the stock look adds an extra YEEEEHAAAW!!!!!!! This combo gives me the opportunity to say "Got Ya'" and..... "Made you look!" Like Holliday...I am jealous...and can't wait to get mine...Seven more days baby!!!!!

I got my car back and installed the CBE yesterday.

This set up sounds SWEET!! It is deep and smooth while very quiet at highway speeds. I was not expecting it to be so deep. The videos do it no justice!!

I even drove it to work this morning (something I NEVER do) just to hear it some more. My neighbors probably weren't happy at 4am but oh well.

Only one small problem. The left tip is ever so slightly lower than the right. I am assuming that is my fault. I was rushing just a bit during the install and couldn't seem to stay focused on my task because my girlfriends five year old son was underfoot the whole time. I just got home and I am going to try to make some adjustments when it cools off.

Here is my pic...

Looks great!

You can just tweak the hanger to get the tips to line up. Good luck!

Congrats on the install....Does look blingin.....the misalignment does not look obvious on you pic...but only you would know....From what I read in past threads, adding some washers will do the trick of getting them aligned...

I crawled under the car and found that the left resonator pipe's hanger was not in the rubber mount. I figured that I must have knocked it out while doing the install. So loosened the bolts and realigned the pipes making sure that the hangers were all in place. Everything looked good except...
What I noticed is that the hangers don't seem long enough. They are barely in the mount on the left side and the right side doesn't look right either.
Long story short, I just looked at the tips after running some errands and sure enough the left one is down again.
I looked under the car and the hanger is out of the mount again.
I might have to modify the mount.

Hey,

We are getting a couple reports of this - in fact we just had a customer bring up their car for us to take a look. Our first recommendation is loosening the bolts and twisting the pipes to get it all lined up. If that doesn't work, you can do a washer or two on the hanger mount.

We're not sure why this issue is coming up with only certain 370Zs and not others, but we're taking a look on other cars to figure out what we need to tweak. But please let us know if you can't get it right and we'll figure out a solution for you.
