Price should be close to the g37, which was 1400-1500 around. F.I said a bit cheaper priced this time around.

That is a bit more expensive than what the Berk system will most likely retail for. I asked them to come in here and give us all an update so hopefully we will here from them in here sometime today.

You should show them how the F.I. thread has just exploded. They're not doing themselves any favors in terms of market share by being slow.

The delay is leaning me to go with another exhaust.

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

I'm holding out until Berk releases their CBE before I make a final decision.

Let's keep things civil between Berk and F.I. They're two different design philosophies. It comes down to user preference.

I jumped in on the Berks with their HFC with the group buy. As for exhaust, I went by the G37 YouTube videos. That's when F.I. caught my attention. I bit the bullet by pre-ordering the F.I. after buying Berk HFC.

I think that's a good compromise. F.I. appreciates my patience since April. I'm sure Berk will appreciate your patience as well.

semtex 07-07-2009 05:35 PM

I don't think anyone is being uncivil.

B1nks 07-07-2009 05:56 PM

isn't the BERK and GTM exhausts supposed to be pretty similar so far ? Just reading back through the 2 and it seems as though they are seeing as how the both used the flex area in the beginning of the exhaust and stuff..they look pretty similar.

m4a1mustang 07-07-2009 05:58 PM

Yup, not uncivil at all.

When the FI thread really got going I was expecting a Berk rep to be in here reviving this one ASAP... but instead they are silent and look to be letting FI take away some market share!

Yeah, the FI is looking mighty fine...

difference is that berk stacks the mufflers || and F.I will fab them straight \ /

Hi guys, just got back today from TX on business. We finished up another prototype exhaust and this one is 99% of what the production version will look like. The R&D process is something you NEVER want to rush just so you can be first to market. You must get it right the first time or else you guys will have fitment issues or durability issues down the road.

The level of engineering that goes into our systems is on a different level to what you see in the tuner market. We go through great lengths to ensure that you are getting a product that are designed better than the OEM components they are replacing. We've even had a Nissan engineer consult with us on the design process to make sure we have his stamp of approval. These are not your run of the mill "exhaust shop" pieces but highly engineered parts that will perform better and last longer than anything else out there. It is worth the wait!! :tup:

Cheers!
