Comparison Vid: Stock, Stillen, and Berk :)

spearfish25

There are definitely differences that the video doesn't capture. The Berk is smoother and deep. The Stillen has a bit of raucousness to it, but it's an F1 goodness type of sound. Both sound great to me. I think either way, you'll be happy with your choice.

What, no F.I. exhaust?

I don't know who was standing out there during the shenanigans sequence, but he took his life in his hands, would have made one helluva Youtube.

Seriously, thanks guys, nice job.

Let's see if Tony has sold one to someone up here yet. I'd be happy to get a vid and splice it in . Hell, I want to hear one in person anyway.

Any luck with this guys? Seems that there has been recent posts of people who are still on the fence between Berk and FI...Would be nice to see a video comparion set up between a Berk, FI, and Stillen...

Check the video at the start of this thread lol

OK so i guess there is no FI in this comparo, sorry i fail!

Here is a decent vid of the sound of FI + Res Test pipes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hWsd...eature=related

+ drive by http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y-cG...eature=related

Just listened to Berk CBE + BERK HFC and it sounds great... I would say top sound for me atm is between this and stillen. Stillen still sounds great just a tad more conservative than the berk option it would seem.

that's exactly how I would describe the difference between the two. And in the car the Berk one is louder. But this video was taken right after the install so the sound might mellow out a bit over time, based on what I read in other review.

So it sounds like we have to do one more vid Spear. This time with a couple of clean and identical drive bys: constant speed, WOT etc. and with some dB readings. Oh, but sans the shenanigans...

So its expected for the tone to get softer after awhile? Why is that?

My Berk got louder as my car adjusted to it!

Hmm, not what I was hoping to hear. Don't get me wrong, it sounds great but it is loud enough as it is, don't need it louder. I guess I'll find out over time.

Let me try and clarify. The volume itself didn't really get any louder, the exhaust note "matured" if that makes any sense. My point was that in no way did it get any quieter.

The HFCs had a bigger change after a week than my CBE did.

Yeah, that makes sense, thanks for clarifying.

One more thing, the rasp I already had from the HFC's got more noticeable after the CBE install. I wonder if this rasp will get less after everything settles. Please note, it is not real bad, as it is now accompanied by a deeper exhaust note but it is quite noticeable.

Spearfish had a lot of rasp just after he added HFC's to his Stillen exhaust, but that got a lot less after putting some miles on the system.

How is the rasp for you now?
