I know magnaflow makes the cores and some shops pick those up and fab up the rest. From there is what each shop does is what makes a difference. It's all about the details.

correct but the core is where the air flows through making them all the same. Small changes here and there might yield +1 or +2 more HP which for the price increase on name brands isnt just worth it, to me atleast

Im currently running Ichiba test pipes which I paid $250 for on my G37. I wrapped them in header wrapped which eliminated all the rasp and have no CEL light either and their quality was pretty damn impresive

Do the Berks have any rasp too them?? if so, will wrapping them help as well?

It wouldnt be fair for to say yes or no bc I dont know. Do a search under my name and you can have an idea of what my exhaust sounds like with the vid

Yes, that's correct but what I meant was the quality of the part and not the power output. I've seen some crappy parts, I've seen some nice stuff too.
