Stock Nismo Exhaust Needs More Growl

TROOPER · 07-25-2010, 04:17 PM

Thanks guys, I think the Berk HFC is the route to go.

And yeah, I'm giving up on theZstore LOL.

I'll let you know what TP on stock NISMO sounds like this week, unless I also decide to cut on the resonators as well...I think part of the problem, aside from the huge can on the rear, is the dual nature of the exhaust.

I did it and had HFCs paired with it and it made a noticable sound difference and its cheap and quick. Cut out the resonators and weld striaght pipe up in the gap to replace it. If you don't like it weld the resonators back in.

Good tip, but think I'll stick with bolt-ons right now.

So I'm still looking at getting some HFC.

How do the Stillen compare to the Berk HFC's ??

A friend of mine got the Stillen's and wasn't too happy...He complained about rattling and also said that it wasn't 100% stailnless steel...He had put a magnet up against it and it stuck onto the HFC's...

The Berks on the other hand are 100% stainless steel and give you great power gains...I beleive M. Bonnani reported 18-19whp on a dyno when he had just the Berks HFC's paired with the stock CBE....Berks also seems to be the most popular brand used amongst 370 owners.

Yeah I had noticed Berk was a popular choice, I just spotted some Stillen HFCs for sale and thought I'd ask.

Might be a concern if Stillen are advertising these as stainless steel if they're not.

Think I'll wait untill I find the Berk's then

There's a special going on under the GB section for the Berks HFC's...Check the thread out and ask for a PM for the prices...From what I heard they're the cheapest you can get brand new...
