Wow Holliday...sorry to hear that...I really thought with all this time that passed by that you already had it on....Can't wait to you get this thing on and enjoy it like the rest of us.

So after waiting and calling every other week (tried to change my voice so they wouldn't know it's me) to see if the Berk Exhausts were available, THEY FINALLY DID! and without hesitation bought one to compliment the BERK HFC's i purchased from them as well. Rob gave me an estimated date of arrival and was shipped within the time frame, THANK YOU!

So i got the big box

which contained this!

nicely packed!
which ended up on this!

Overall:
I have been searching for an exhaust for awhile, especially with BERK being out of supply, but honestly couldn't find one with the right tone. I heard the BERK CBE through the videos and that was my base comparison to what i wanted my exhaust to sound like. IM GLAD I WAITED, it makes all the right noises when you want it too, when your accelerating through the gears, stomping on the gas, or dropping a gear when your high in the RPMS, it sounds awesome! To top it off when you want it to be "normal" all you have to do is shift earlier and under 3500 RPM's and you'll be fine. There is a definite improvement in throttle response and HP. In my opinion while accelerating through traffic, the HP gained helps with the throttle response/delay that was so apparent before. If your looking for an exhaust, this is the one to get! THANKS BERK!

LOL, were both the ONLY asians in the area with BERKS! if that counts for something!

Congrats Hated1.... another satisfied customer...

Rob@BerkTech · 11-04-2010, 07:15 PM

Glad to hear you got the exhaust and am very happy with it! We appreciate the business.

If anyone is interested, hit me up!

I heard mine from outside the car today for the first time. I had a friend launch it while I listened.
I knew this set up sounded good but.... DAMN!!!!
it sounds awesome from in the car but outside is unreal.
To those who are thinking about a Berk, don't wait any longer. I am sooooo happy that I waited for it.
It was worth it!!

BOLIO 671 · 11-05-2010, 03:37 AM

This thing sounds like a beast, but with class and sophistication. Throw up some vids Hated1 when you get the chance...I know all us Berk owners know what it sounds like, but I can never get enough of the vids out there for this exhaust...

Seems that Berk has gotten their orders down pack...From what I recall HATED1 only had to wait about 2-3 months before it was available. Great Job Berk!!! I firmly beleive that in order to attain perfection, one must go through trials and errors. It is not about making mistakes, but more so about how one learns and recovers from the mistake.

BOLIO 671 · 11-05-2010, 03:40 AM

BTW Dave...welcome back..haven't seen you post up in awhile...Too busy enjoying that exhaust heh?

I've been here. Just doin more lurking then posting. I've been trying to get as much driving in as possible. Winter is gonna SUCK!!!

docaam · 11-07-2010, 02:21 AM

does anyones if Berck CBE + HFC is less louder then FI CB alone?

BOLIO 671 · 11-07-2010, 09:44 PM

HFC's will increse the sound of any exhaust...It all depends on what's loud for you....I have the Berk HFC/CBE combo and I think its absolutely perfect...but JB1 didn't think so and took his HFC's off...I thing I can tell you though is with or without the HFC's there is No Drone...Its not as deep as the FI....You can't even tell the difference between stock and the Berk when driving normal...unless you get on it or rev past 3.5K....

thanks man, what I am looking for is same loud as FI along stock but want to add HFCs or TPs, so with HFC as well it sounds like stock below 3k rpms? I am thinking between Berk and Invidia and then might go for ART pipes or Berk HFC
