Berk Technology Cat-Back Coming Soon!

Back to the Berk exhaust please.
(not aimed at you DDM)

Also remember that the exhaust system is low and centered, which is pretty much the best place to add weight if you have to. Weight gain/loss will hardly be felt here if at all.

Ok so Berk is going to try and have my exhaust ready for me to pick up on Sunday while I am down in their area! If I am able to get it, it I will shoot for a baseline dyno on Monday and install Monday night. Put a few miles on the car and shoot some videos Tuesday, re-dyno Wednesday.

No

Exhaust didn't get finished over the weekend so I still don't have it. They have promised it this week.

sooooo, did u get the exhaust yet?? all the waiting and suspense is killing me haha!

Starting to think Berk may have not got the numbers they wanted to competitive will Stillen. Hench the delay, tweaking the exhaust to get better numbers? Just My 2 cents
The delay is leaning me to go with another exhaust.

wow... really?... thats too conspiracy theorist for me... 2 months with updates of progress and your complaining about it... in any case, even if you are right, wouldnt you want an exhaust that actually was extensively researched and not something that either doesnt compete to market or exceeds market performance but creates headaches after install... besides the more they wait the more competition they have, which either pushes them to create an exhaust that performs above market or price it lower than market... isnt that a win win?

I believe they are trying to catch up on High Flow Cat orders...they seem to be backordered everywhere.

Not at all the case. They haven't even tested it yet period so we have no idea how it will turn out. The first tests will be done on my car up here in Vegas.

That is my understanding as to why the exhaust has been delayed. They are trying to fill existing orders. Stop ordering HFCs people! Just for a week.

I can see your reasoning.. but i'd like to think it's just Berk being perfectionists and wanting to get the exhaust done right the first time around, rather then dealing with unhappy customers having clearance problems or other issues. I like Stillen and all, but having to come out with multiple Generations (or newer batch fixes) of products for a CAR seems like a rush job to me.

But you could be right!

Good point, STILLEN made three different intakes for the G37 before getting it right

Again It was just my 2 cents. I agree the more time it takes to get it right , or to where they want the exhaust to perform. The better it is for us.
