I have the 1st generation BERK exhaust (now they have adjustable tips that have some fitment issues I believe), but it's too quiet for me. There is no drone at all. It has a good tone. Fit n Finish was good for me.

It has no drone and it's quiet until it hits past 3k rpm. I think it sounds great. You should find someone local and hear it for yourself.

Have mine on order and waiting for it to arrive. I've heard it in person and it sounded great. If you're looking for a really loud exhaust this isn't it.

Thanks for the replys!!! Not looking for loud exhaust at all just a better sound than stock with some slight increase in HP. Also, I do like the factory looking exhaust tips. Wondering if it has somewhat of an exotic sound. Listened to some sound clips on You Tube but dont think it is a true representation.

Anyway, if the new systems have adjustable tips...what does it look like? Any photos???

Thanks!

Tips look exactly the same, they can now be moved in and out obviously.

ordered mine this past Friday.....how long did it take for you to get yours?

The tiniest bit of drone just below 3k. I think the volume level is perfect as it is quiet until you get on it and get the RPM's above 3k.

Only downside in my opinion is that the back section of the exhaust dips down lower than stock and causes a clearance issue. Mine scrapes all the time.

Haven't received it yet...

And I don't think I've heard of anyone complaining of clearance issues? Can someone verify?

I can show you the flat spot on my exhaust :)

I'm lowered about 1 inch.

Nick911sc 08-24-2011 10:12 AM

Well that's annoying, I've always heard berk retained stock exhaust height

It's just that one spot, mine was one of the first batch made so maybe they've fixed it since then.

azn370z 08-24-2011 10:43 AM

I have the first batch and the pipe does hang low but scraping shouldn't be an issue if you're not slammed.

Nick911sc 08-24-2011 10:48 AM

I'm going to be dropping my car an inch and I wouldn't think it should be scraping if you drive cautiously lol

Red__Zed 08-24-2011 11:02 AM

Mild drone around 3k, not really problematic.

I've seen 1 or 2 people have scraping issues like chris, but it's usually not that bad. I think it just happens sometimes since their build is pretty inconsistent. Sound is good though. Quiet until you're on it.
