BERK Catback Exhaust System installs/reviews

Getting my Berk exhaust installed over the weekend by Berk! Can't wait for the Synchro Rev Match to blip my throttle on downshifts! I'm not getting the HFC though. Anyone

Getting my Berk exhaust installed over the weekend by Berk! Can't wait for the Synchro Rev Match to blip my throttle on downshifts! I'm not getting the HFC though. Anyone have stock cats with the Berk exhaust? How different is the tone and loudness compared to HFC + Berk CBE?

Not the best video but it was all I could find for now with just the CBE, no HFC's.

YouTube - Berk Technology Xpipe Catback Exhaust on a 370Z

With the combo you are going to get more gains and obviously it will be louder. I was on the fence about getting HFC's at first, but then after all the great reviews and the power gains alone I decided in favor of them. You will be happy either way. you can get the exhaust installed and if you think you could use more power and wont mind a little more noise then go for it

Haha, that's my video With the stock cats the sound is very nice, with the HFC's it's louder but not excessive

Hey steve,

Did you like the sound better before or after the HFC's? I can already hear a sight bit of rasp and that hiss with the HFC's and stock exhaust. I can't stand rasp and I was going for a really deep tone. Either way them HFC's aren't coming off any time soon

The Hiss comes out from the HFC'S...Sounds raspy with the stock exhaust, but will sound a lot more refined and deeper with the CBE

The HFC's have been shown to be the most effective mod for HP gains.

My perspective these days includes the Stillen CAI which makes a ton of beautiful sucking sounds . The exhaust tone is so nice, so deep, so tuneful... the sound of your HFC's will only be a memory, my friend.
