Berk Exhaust Production with X-Pipe

Minicobra1 · 01-04-2010, 06:39 AM

A few people wanted to hear the exhaust from inside the cabin, so here you go. I apologize for the poor video quality, it's just a point and shoot mounted on a gorillapod flex mount. It's a bit shaky, but I think it will give you an idea.
This is just some mild street driving, until the end about 1:35, when I open it up a bit to chase down an M5, thought it was an M3 in the clip

I've got a few clips, I'll link them up once they are done processing on youtube. Here is the first one, enjoy

This next one is on the freeway, to show that there is no drone at cruising speeds, mostly all the noise that you hear in the video is road and wind noise. This set-up is barely any louder then stock while cruising steady.

Ok, last in-car clip, some mild cruising on streets in 3rd & 4th gear, WOT at end.

nice balance between loud on WOT and civilized on cruise mode.

Thanks, man, you confirmed my choice of the CBE

Yep, that's exactly how this set-up is, you can cruise around relatively unoticed, or give it a little more to make them notice......then you can unleash the beast at any time!!

I'm uploading another video with some freeway cruising, so you can see how it doesn't drone at all.

Just as I suspected, it sounds great inside as well.

Thanks Cobra, and great job Berk!

thanks for the videos. sounds great!

Great videos Minicombra! The setup sounds just about perfect with paired with the Berk HFC's. Not too loud and no annoying sounds intruding in on your listening experience.

I have these exhausts in production right now and you guys should have them on your doorsteps on or before March 1st. They will be built and shipped in the order of when you placed your order. So GB#1 people obviously will get them first. As some of you have heard we had to tweak the tip placement slightly. It drives me crazy to have uneven tips and I'm sure it would do the same to you guys. So let's nip that in the bud now.

Not trying to stir the pot (especially since my order is only a few weeks old) but is there a backlog of orders before the first group buy from this forum? I ask because it says you are in production yet the first ones won't show up for another 6 weeks or so...

Also, a few folks have been asking for video with the CBE and stock cats. Any chance of Berk producing a vid?

theDreamer · 01-13-2010, 10:10 AM

I talked to them, Berk, last night. I believe the first group buy are the first orders, and the way it is going is they are being built currently. Then they are shipping to Berk and they are going to inspect them to insure quality and then ship if they are 100%.

Where are the Berk cbe's being made?

Apparently Mars.

Don't get me wrong, I know I will LOVE this exhaust once it's here, but if my wait is almost unbearable, I can't imagine how the GB#1 guys feel. They've been waiting over a LONG time.

370zdub · 01-13-2010, 07:26 PM

If I actually get mine in march it will be four months short of a year since I placed my order! oh well.. these Utah winters suck and my car has been in storage since the end of november!

theDreamer · 01-14-2010, 09:48 PM

Will it have been that long? I think I placed my original order in Sept or maybe August, not 100% sure.
