Unfortunately I just can't get past how ugly the Stillen tips are, and I don't want to modify a $1200+ exhaust after I just get it. WHY STILLEN? Why can't you make the tips more stock looking, the tips on the Stillen CBE looks like something from Need for Speed Underground, all it needs is flames shooting out of it.

I'm ordering the Berk, if one day Stillen decides to change the way their tip looks I'm sure their exhaust sales will go WAY UP. I'll be first in line to buy one. They have everything in check, decent price, good quality, great sound, great power too bad the tips ruined the whole deal.

Initially I wasn't too sure about what I thought of the Stillen tips. The shop that installed mine tucked them in as far as they could which I definitely prefer. A few guys on the site have the tips hanging really far out which I'm not fond of at all. After a week or so with the car, I have to say I actually love the tips. From behind they look huge and fill the fascia cutouts completely. From a side view, they just give the 'hey, I'm not stock' look. It's one of those things that you might like more in person.

If you're more of a sleeper look kind of guy, go for the Berk. You'll be really happy with either.

As for tone, I would say the Berk is more refined/smooth. The Stillen has a bit more mechanical wildness/raucousness to the overall sound (take it for what you will, I like it...but I'm biased since I've invested in it).
