In my opinion, Fast Intentions sounds extremely good in person. I've heard a Fast Intentions non resonated test pipe + 12 inch resonators stainless steel mufflers in person and I was literally blown away by how good it sounded. It sounds like an exotic car mixed with the deep sound of a muscle car. It sounds unique and extremely good!

I'm getting my Fast Intentions exhaust with 12 inch resonators and carbon fiber mufflers installed tomorrow so stay tuned for video and pics.

Trust me, you will be more impressed with the Fast Intentions in all categories.

Have you heard a Berk in person? No? Then how can you make the statement above?

He might not but I have. I have heard Minicobra's in person while I was standing right next to Bryan from Berk!

I WILL NOT say anything negative or descriptive about the Berk because they are obviously my competitor and that is not professional. What I can tell you is (from the outside of the car) the Berk is not as deep or smooth as our exhaust system. Do not get me wrong, the Berk sounds very nice however I feel our system has a deeper, fuller exhaust note. As far as looks that all depends on the person buying the system. Ours has a very aggressive look that in IMHO fits the car well. The Berk has a much more stock sleeper look to it. Some people want that. I do not fault them, that is why everything is subjective...

Thanks, Tony

No offense Tony, but you can't say your system "has a fuller exhaust note" and "eveything is subjective" in the same post. Against Forum rules.

I'd like to dispute "fuller and deeper" comments, but the Berk I've heard (mine) was paired with HFCs, and the FI was not. I definitely would NOT say that Berk isn't full and deep, however. Far from it...

You cannot compare a Berk system with HFC's to mine without. The DB levels are too different and it is apples to oranges. If you want to make a proper comparison take both with no HFC's or both with.

Calm down, Tony. Did you take the time to read the comment you quoted? I specifically said that I couldn't compare the 2 because of the addition of HFCs. Relax!!

So far, you're the only "vendor" that has to step into threads and try to put down your competition (you've done so in several threads, btw). So far, I think the thread (especially my review) has been unbiased debate until you popped in.

And about the drone, so far every review of the FI that I have personally read comments about the drone. In contrast, every review of the Berk CBE, again, only that I've read, has specifically denounced any presence of drone.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough in the post but the subjective part pertained to "the looks".

As far as sound, I have been doing this a very long time and custom built exhaust systems for hundreds of different types of cars. We have systems in production for over 10 different cars!

I think I can trust my ears to know what a deep full sound is! Either it is deep or it is not. Very black and white to me, no Grey. I never said the Berk system did not sound good. All I said was, ours was deeper, smoother and fuller...

Thanks, Tony
