Berk retains the stock look and gives you a good low sound much what the 370z should of had stock. F.I. has separate cans for a more aggressive look when looking at the rear of the vehicle and you can also get them in carbon fiber. It also has its own unique deep low tone. Which sounds better to you. Either find someone locally to hear it in person or go by the youtube video. I chose F.I.

For quality & customer service, you are not going to be able to find better than Fast Intentions. The wait is more than worth it.

How about sound volume of the Berk with stock cats vs FI with stock cats and say the 18" res. Which is louder and is it by much? Which has a LOWER sound as well?

Maybe someone who's had both on can give a better answer. But from what I understand, Berk is more "what the car should have sounded like from the factory". Pretty quiet at idle, has a nice roar in the lower rpms and harmonizes with the VQ at WOT.

F.I. is a bit more exotic and has a deeper tone at the lower rpms. With stock cats, it's definitely louder from what I've read and heard.

To be honest. You can't really go wrong with either. Myself, I've decided on going with the F.I. set-up non-resonated with stock cats. I want a clean aggressive sound and don't want the hassle of hfc's to get it.

But the Berk/HFC combo is downright nasty. It definitely made me think twice.
