Your mods and location

kielbasa16

Hey, I have been reading mixed reviews about combining a cat-back exhaust with HFC's. Some people report that they love the sound while others dislike the hiss upon decleration. I am not scheduled to get my FI CBE till mid-May, and was originally planning on ordering some HFC's about a week prior to that to install them together. I would love to hear some setups in person so that I can confidently commit to my mods.
That being said, not everybody reports their mods in their signature and it may be a good idea to get a list going in our region so that we can all be better informed buyers. What are your mods, and what is your general location? Those who wish to participate thanks, those you wont thats cool.

I have a Berk CBE with stock cats. Another guy in town has an FI CBE with stock cats. Both sound awesome. We're in Norwalk just across the Sound.

EDIT: G3 intakes in-transit!

Very cool. I was very impressed with the sound of the berk system on YouTube videos I'm sure your car sounds mean. I don't venture out to connecticut too often, but maybe I'll hear you from across the sound haha

I live in Huntington, and I've got the F.I. catback with HFCs and Stillen intake. Let me know if you wanna come out to take a listen.

keilbasa, great start to a thread. i was thinking about asking around myself. I've listened to the BERK, F.I, and Stillen combinations enough to forget which is which. and i've been curious to see who has what in our area compared to the 'general' thread. I wanna commit to the F.I but need to hear it in person.

kielbasa16

Thanks man, I think it has the potential to benefit each of us.

G35 - I live very close to Huntington, I could even meet up sometime Sunday if youre around, or any other weekend.

IMO...
The Fast Intentions CBE with the BERK HFC creates a beautiful sound!
I'd go with ARK CBE + BERK HFC though.

keilbasa, did u ever get to g35guy to listen to his exhaust.

and g35guy, if you wouldnt mine, i might be interested in coming out to listen to ur setup sometime?

kielbasa16

Not yet, the weather hasnt been too compliant. We might meet up either tomorrow or Thursday night (after 730) since I get home late from work and wont be around this weekend.

Dude...you need to do a launch + fly-by video. I'm pretty sure there aren't any out there with the Berk exhaust + stock cats. Would love to hear it under load!

Also...are your tips mis-aligned just a little? Or is that the angle messing with me...

Keilbas, if you guys do end up meeting up tomorrow or thursday, keep me informed. I am off work tomorrow, but have a few things going on. and i too get out of work late (8pm) usually.

g35guy, if i am not able to meet up when you and keilbas do, maybe sometime next week? (weather permitting)

kielbasa16

Sounds very good, thanks for the vid.

I actually did end up meeting G35guy today, spur of the moment thing. +1 rep for an awesome car, exhaust, and being a stand-up guy. At this point I am really confident and excited to get my FI cat-back, and 99% sure I will pair it up with the ERZ cats.

Justin1686

fantastic, thanks for sharing.
