Some mounted pics for you guys! The Berk exhaust sounds deeper and slightly more aggressive than the existing Nismo exhaust.

Awesome sound quality, killer good looks, and Berk Technology's renowned build quality = one bad a$$ exhaust!

Berk Technology vs. Nismo
http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x...ZExhaust04.jpg

Some design notes:

-Dual 2.5" Piping
-Custom made oval tips to fit the OEM bumper cutout
-True X-pipe - tangentially siamesed
-Optimal X-pipe placement for the VQ motor
-Does not hit the OEM cross brace, no need to tweak or fiddle with anything
-Flex sections in OEM locations for longevity (You NEED flex sections to soak up engine movement & vibration. The flex sections are not there to correct angle deviations.)
-100% bolt on with simple hand tools

Does the passenger side tip stick out further than the drivers side? it looks to be off about 1/2 - 3/4 inch.

Other than that, it looks fantastic...if that is the nismo next to it your exhaust makes that look like toy :tup:

Yea, pass. side tip sticks out farther than drivers side for sure.

Togo 07-09-2009 08:32 PM

OH snap, I missed that. Now that you point it out it appears blatantly obvious. Maybe it's just a prototype defect? I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to lengthen the driver side tip

It's just the angle that pic was taken at. A 1/2" or 3/4" length difference would stare at you in the face.

The exahust looks great and I'm glad someone took my opinion on using an oval slanted tip. GORGEOUS! Fills in the gap nicely.

However, I'm not so sure thats the angle of the pic...its kind-of obvious...easy fix tho since you just need to extend it straight on the drivers side. I mean you can see the difference in all the pics and the underneath shot is super obvious.

I hope it really is just the 'angle'.

We took some input from you guys who voiced their opinions on the oval vs. round tips. It took some engineering but we got the oval tip to work with the space you have back there.

One important thing to note is that you do not have to mess with removing or relocating the EVAP canister or EVAP lines.

Ya, definitely good call on the slanted oval tips :nutswinger:

All I can say is WOW!!.....that is soooo clean.

LiquidZ 07-09-2009 10:00 PM

The oval tips definitely look great.

BerkTech 07-09-2009 10:14 PM

Measured up the tips on the bench. There is at most a 2mm difference, or 5/64".

We are no stranger to doing difficult to manufacture dual exhausts. Here's one of our systems that we do for the Toyota MR2.
