This is the latest. The clip begins with the Berk HFCs w/ stock exhaust. Then the second part is the Berk HFCs with the prototype of the upcoming Berk CBE. And yes, Spearfish, you may feel free to rep me for finding these for you.

Uh if you aren't sure about the exaust it seems like the G3 intake is the way to go. They are all around the same HP gain for each of the three mods with the G3 and HFC being about the same cost wise. Also if you get the G3 before you do the exhast you'll be able to hear the G3 breathing - its tough to hear once the exhaust is done

That Berk prototype CBE sounds SICK. It's settled then. Berk HFC first, Stillen G3 intake shortly after, Berk CBE whenever if it shows good gains. Last edited by spearfish25; 06-17-2009 at 07:20 PM. |

So what do you think of the sound with just the Berk HFC? Sounds pretty throaty with just that one change, doesn't it?

The Berk HFC install seems a bit tricky with those darn bolts. I think I could pull off the G3 intake with no problem though. I have my Dremel ready for the hole cutting. |

I would tell her you're doing exhaust since it's more expensive, then sneak a little money out of the checking account each week as a cash withdrawl. The cats are only $500 more. Get them done at the same time so she doesn't suspect anything. Then, at Christmas or your birthday (which ever is first), tell her that your car doesn't run right because the intake is too restrictive and wasn't matched to go with your exhaust. The intake may even make it fail emisssions...but it you put aftermarket intakes that are matched to your exhaust, the car will run perfect and pass emissions. |

The test pipes with extended O2 ports are from GTM, btw. (In case anyone is wondering where to get them.)

And as further proof, this has been done and tested at 370zdotcom. Had they gone with a better map, their gains would have been greater. Last edited by AK370Z; 06-18-2009 at 10:39 AM. Reason: edited link |
