Berk has good gains, and good sound. I almost bought Berk way back, before they started having issues with shipping, and people getting mismatched sets. Those issues have all been fixed now, but when I was in the market they were not my top choice.

Plus personally, I prefer the \_/ style of F.I. over the = style of Berk. I like to see those cans. :yum: But Berk does have good sound, low cost, and good gains. The slight weight disadvantage really didn't bother me considering I have a hundred pound sub box sitting right on the rear axle anyways. Berk was my #2 option after F.I.

That was my conclusion. I believe they're roughly comparable on ease of install and looks, but the Berk is quieter (which I think is good for me), cheaper and marginally lighter.

It's good that you leave weight savings for last as you'll beat Most of the people in this thread already on driver mod weight savings, sans me. :rolleyes:

F.I.'s numbers are really impressive, but I prefer the more tucked systems and drone was a major factor in my decision.

There will be some drone with all systems unless it's just one giant resonator. You will have it minimally due to keeping the stock cats. Those are the choke point.

Yeah, but you're like a foot taller than me! I suspect you weigh more than 115 lbs.

Larger diameter piping, straighter bends, less restriction = more power. They use a good sturdy stock of steel, thus the weight.

Don't let my height distract you...

...and the Berk is louder. You may have forgotten just how quiet stock is.

Louder than stock means it actually makes noise. Which all exhausts do, so that's a moot point. :icon17:
