The day they ship the charged goes through. Took about 6 weeks to get the exhaust.

Semtex thinks it's probably mainly the fault of the Stillen Headers, rather than the Berk HFCs. He had Berk HFCs with stock manifolds first and didn't have a big issue, but after putting the Stillen headers on his car, the outlet of the HFCs appeared to be lower than it should be. Also, there are a lot more cars on this board running the Berk HFCs than there are the Stillen headers, so we'd probably have heard more about it by now if they were causing fit issues with various catbacks.
In my personal case, the Stillen headers and Berk HFCs went on at the same time (before any other exhaust stuff), and I've had no end of problems with catbacks since, although at least with the FI catback they left so much clearance in the center of the car with their design that the issues were trivial. |

its the headers causing it. i read on other threads that people had fitment problems with stillen headers + berks hfc.
imo, stick with FI

Well us early adopters didn't have a choice, it was Stillen or stock, so we gave the Stillen ones a shot My Stillen headers and Berk HFCs went on the car back in mid-March.

I myself was interested & VERY TEMPTED to get the stillen cbe with the berks HFC when they first came out. they sounded very good to me and gave good gains! but something inside me made me wait for a few more months to see what other companies come out with.
i'm glad i waited it out now im curious to see this long tube header by Tony!

Ok I just had to mention this. I've had my car since sometime in February, and I started modding it right off the bat, so it's had a non-stock exhaust most of that time too. I've had lots of stares and longing looks, but I've never had a random person actually stop and comment on my car before.
When I pulled into my garage just now, on day 2 with the FI exhaust, a neighbor was out walking his dog close by, and actually walked over to my garage just to tell me that my car sounds so great |

Geez....I also had very little choices when I picked up my PG in mid March. Nismo CBE went on right away.....what a fail with that choice....It does not even sound any better than the stock exhaust. The worst part of it is that I will prolly never be able to sell it for a down payment on a FI exhaust.
Know any grandpas that just purchased a 370Z that wants the larger exhaust tip look.....lol I can only "dream on". |
