Hate to bring this thread back from the dead...but I just ordered my Berk CBE/HFC combo. Just like the other 13 pages, I wasn't sure what I wanted until I heard this combo. It sounds so good...very exotic sounding; definitely fits our cars. I'm thinking it's going to sound even better with my Stillen G3s installed now. Seems like the exhaust is a simple install, but the HFC gives some headaches? Hopefully everything goes smoothly for me and no issues.

Read up on the forum how to properly lube the "demon bolts" prior to doing the HFC job. it could save some headaches

So I've read. My friend and I are going to do this install. He has penetrating oil and a breaker bar. We'll figure it out one way or the other.

Congrats...you won't be disappointed man...With proper lubing the "Demon Bolts" shouldn't be an issue...I had some issues during my install...but it was all worth it in the end.

About the G3's..you won't really hear them from inside the car, as the Berk will overwhelm it, but it definitely sounds sweet from outside...This is the only way that you will hear the intakes...Do some Vids and post em up...The vid I did was just with the stock Air Boxes...haven't done a legit shoot since I put on the G3's.

Might as well throw this in here. Berk exhaust, everything else is stock.

Thought I would add to this since this thread helped me make my selection. Just put on the Berk CBE with K&N drop-ins. It's no where close to being this loud inside the car. I have another video from inside the car that I will post later.

So far I'm loving the sound of this exhaust.

Last Thursday, I finally installed my Berk CBE and I must say the fit and sound are truly amazing. To me, it was the perfect choice. Now, I have a question or two. If you look at the attached photos, you'll notice that the tips protrude past the rear end by a little bit. In all of the photos that I have seen, the tips look like they are more flush, like the stock ones. Is it possible that the "y" pipe or resonators are installed upside-down? I don't think so, as the exhaust went on in about 1-1/2 hours (old one off and new one on by myself) and everything lined up perfectly. Is this a case of tolerances where mine is a little different. I don't really mind the look, but I am just comparing mine to what I have seen (only online, nothing in person) so I am curious. Has anyone else run into this?

Any help is appreciated.

Yup, mine is the same way. I had my berk and cnt installed a month ago and it does protrude more than all the pics on this thread.
