How much did you pay? The guy told me he is going to have to torch the demon bolts

Yes this is my first mod for this car...

That's all I have on my car and it's very nice... especially with some high revs you can hear it and dyno numbers have shown almost a 25 hp gain...but will vary by each dyno... but close to 300 hpaw alone with the Berk HFC

Sounds like you need a new mechanic.

HDyoyo · 04-19-2012, 09:49 PM

Lol he is doing it all for 150, that includes berk htc + ark v2.2 cbe.

You could do it all yourself for a pizza and two beer...

I installed the Berk CBE a few weeks ago in a little over an hour and a half. Not bad for me working by myself (on a friends lift). Tomorrow morning I am going to attempt the HFCs and I am dreading the Demon bolts, but I did go to church tonight and I lit a candle as well. I have all of my tools ready and I am hoping for the best. I can't wait to hear and feel the power. If I have time, I may get a dyno to check on the final results. I don't have a baseline, but I don't really care what I used to have, it's all about what I end up with at the end of the day.

I did it under a set of jackstands in 2 hours for free. And didn't need a torch either. Paid $40 for a set of grip-tite sockets so I wouldn't break any bolts and didn't listen to some schmuck giving me a line of crap about my stock cats being hi-flow.

Spray it good with pb-blaster or similar spray and get a set of grip-tite sockets and the job will go well.

Lol you might need a couple more candles... I would love to see the dyno. I'm going to dyno mine after all is done. I was going to go with the berk cbe but I fell in love with look of ark and many have said the ark was a little louder. I wish I had a friend with a lift! Good luck with the project man!!

You will like the ARK once they break in. Between them and the K&N typhoons, mine makes some nice music throughout its pipes in and out.

Intakes will be my next performance mod... So I should expect the sound to get better after when?

lol thats a ma-con-ick
If he said headers was pointless then I would have agreed, unless its long tube headers!
I will install my F.I T/p tomorrow depending on what time my oem gaskets come in for the rest of the exhaust! yes I'm a oem gasket groupie, i feel a lot more comfortable using them to replace the gaskets ARK sends out with their exhaust, even though I've been using tho gaskets for 3 months.
