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.

I know that you have gotten a lot of positive feedback here on both our system and the Berk.

I just wanted to let you know that I received your pm and will be getting back to you shortly. In the meantime if you need a quicker response, please do not hesitate to call me directly.

Thank you, Tony

Are there ground-clearance differences between the two?

No ground clearance issues for me. I'm lowered on eibachs

I remember 2 people on this forum here recently had issues with Berk.

Here are both post of the Berk issue........

Weird noise, anyone have similar experience?

There's been more berk issues over the years here. It will be a hard search though... but memory serves about 7 to 9 issues. Not to mention on 350 and G forums. All the issues I know of have been with the HFC's sparking/imploding or deforming to a point that they malfunction or cause damage to the engine. There are enough issues for me to personally not want to buy Berk hfc. I can't speak for the exhaust as a individual mod.

The two links that I just posted are the most recent ones that I can actually remember.

Honestly man the Berk CBE without the HFC sounds almost like nothing, very quiet. When both paired up its sounds mean as hell. As far as the Fast Intentions 18", it sounds almost like the Berk with the HFC. Both exhausts without cats, the F.I. Sounds better. Berk HFC and CBE vs F.I. 18" I think is a toss up, both sound great. Now a F.I. and HFC should sound sick, but I've never heard that combo so can't really say but should be great.
As far as customer service, F.I. is the way to go. Also as Maclean said, there was a couple incidents that popped up involving the Berk parts, but I cant really go out and say its a bad product because there was never really a persistent issue with Berk and many people are happy with their Berk products.
