Exotic sound?

370ZBLACK09 · 09-08-2010, 04:34 PM

I am still open to more options just let me know I want to hear as many possibilities as possible before I decide

Vegitto-kun · 09-08-2010, 04:35 PM

12" CF

it sounds damn deep, there is some drone but it is not that bad.

some delicious burbling too

370ZBLACK09 · 09-08-2010, 04:37 PM

^^^ how is the ground clearance on that?

At stock ride height you have a little under 4" of clearance IIRC.

Stock height it is just abit lower than the normal exhaust.

370ZBLACK09 · 09-08-2010, 04:51 PM

It depends on how low you go.

Vegitto-kun · 09-08-2010, 04:54 PM

well you WILL have to be more carefull. I had thin tired on 19 inches and it was hard to not scrape my front and back. went from 275/45/19 to 295/30/19

but my stockers back on untill I can buy some 20 inch rims and 40 thick tires so it fills up the wheelarches nicely without having problems with lowering it abit

370ZBLACK09 · 09-08-2010, 06:47 PM

so is FI lower than other aftermarket exhausts?

ZPhyco is right..everything said on this post is gonna be all opininon based..., in regards to the Berks I think that they have changed the way they do things and take orders after their expereince witht the first two group buys...I know that HATED1 is one of the guys that is looking to get the Berks but told that they are sold out...PM Rob@Berktech... he's the rep for Berks Technology that has been really active on the forum...he might be able to give you an insight of when their exhausts are due to come in...Due to past problems with the other groups, they changed their ways of taking orders....but if you can't wait for the Berks then the FI should suit your needs...Their customer service and correspondence is plus 1....clearance should be ok if you have good roads and don't lower your car

On to Opinions...check out this Vid that I just posted yesterday...Now this IMHO is exotic

m4a1mustang · 09-08-2010, 07:02 PM

That sounds good, man! I agree with the exotic... it's not as deep as FI but it's got more of the high-pitched exotic sound.

I THINK its one of the lowest one. but it is absolutely worth it.

great noise, good price and excellent customer service which is actually one of the most important things if you want to buy one.

what is the point of buying an exhaust and the company doesn't let you know when there are delays or email you back

craniac24 · 09-08-2010, 08:00 PM

I love my Stillen, but I'd have to say that if you're looking for "exotic" then Berk or FI should be your first choice. I've heard them both in person and I think it would be exactly what you're looking for.

370Zsteve · 09-08-2010, 08:03 PM

Berk CBE + HFC ftw

Love this most likely will be my choice unless I hear HKS Hi-Power w/Berk HFC or Test pipes and like it better
