I wish I could go out and get some external clips... I really love it, perfect sound and the 18" CBE is just loud enough for a daily driver, IMO. I had ZCarMan drive it for me a few weeks ago so I could listen and it's amazing.

Even after reading all this I still want some berk exhaust. They sound so bad @ss. Unless someone posts some detrimental Dyno's I will still want them. Wish I didn't have so much debt to pay off right now.

Don't base your decision on when you can get the system... you should get the one that you're going to enjoy the most. A 5-6-7 week wait is not that long at all.

I know I'm trying, but after reading another favorible review on the Invidia Gimini with and without the HFC its looking better. I'm trying to talk myself into the HFC now but not sure which one or where to get them yet.

can you also do it the other way around? get test pipes of HFC first then CBE, because CBE are lot more expensive than test pipes and HFC. Test pipes and HFC increases proformance and sound at a fraction of CBE price. just my .02

From a volume stance, I'd go CBE first though. The CBE will usually give you the majority of your exhaust tone/sound. If it's not loud enough, add the HFCs or test pipes.

Yeah, definitely. It all depends on what type of sound you're after.

ahh, I see. how does the stock exhaust sound with just HFC's? I have seen the video but i am afriad it may not do enough justice. I am thinking of fi resonated test pipes first then fi CF 18" cbe later.

After reading bluestyle's review and watching the video it seemed like it was all need, I appreciate the FI system and Berks, but I paid 809.00 for the Invidia Gimini and that includes shipping and tax. I'm holding off on the HFC for now, wish me luck, I'll post some pictures and comments afterwards.
