Still, I get distracted by the addicting burble sound anyways ;) I really got mine for the sound more than performance. I just couldn't stand the Chewbacca OEM sound.


im with you on that. i want the sound and if it comes with a pony or two then great. btwn my cai and exhaust im good to go. do most people with a cb and cai get a tune or is it not necessary?

A tune is not mandatory, but it will optimize your setup, including squeezing out extra performance (averaging 10 HP on the top end and increased low and mid-range torque), and improved your A/F ratios.

How hard was the install on this? If you don't do it yourself...how much to get it installed at a shop?

I think this is the exhaust I want. I'm a fan of its deep note and TI tip. However if I had enough money to spare, my preference would be for the Amuse TI. This Gemini, though, looks sexy and sounds amazing. Thanks for writing up the review.

I did the install myself with a buddy. Took us about 5 hrs but should have been 3 or less (we broke a bolt out of my stupidity). Skip the shop.

figure 2 hours of labor for the install. it is easy to do yourself though

I actually just finished installing the Berk system. The exhaust part was cake...the HFC is a different story. So much so that I couldn't change out the driver's side...so now I have a Berk HFC on the passenger side and the stock cat on the driver's side lol. I have an appointment with an exhaust shop to get it installed. Just gotta drive it around like this for now.

Planning to order mine tomorrow! I'm still trying to decide between the stainless or Ti tips :confused:

Not sure who you are ordering it from but you may want to check with Jomer from fred bean nissan (FBnissan). Great service and even better pricing esp when bundling parts.

I know you have done part of it yourself but my shop did the whole thing in less than an hour. It was worth the $50 I paid to save a couple of hours of hassle.

The exhaust gets a little louder and deeper after you get some miles on it. I had a loud exhaust on my last car and wanted something that sounded great but was liveable. This exhaust is perfect for what I wanted. Probably the best aftermarket exhaust (sound, fit, finish, build quality, volume) I've had on any of my vehicles except my motorcycles.

Definitely Titanium. It looked fantastic (and compliment prone) on my PW Z.

Exhaust removal and install for me the other day (I brought it back to stock before trading it in) took me 2-1/2 hours. Easy Peasy. Do it yourself. Plus you get to spend time alone with your car. Nothing can match that. It's therapy for me. My car, my tools, my work light, my tunes, ... priceless.

sboden 09-23-2011 09:35 AM

LOL....everyone has their thing...mine is not spending hours changing an exhaust.

I bought mine from FBNissan also.
