more weight over the rear of the car is definitely better than more weight over the front. Unless you are a full out race car you won't tell the difference of a few pounds.

I agree. I wish we had a weight for the x-pipe.

I saw it posted earlier in the thread, and was kinda glossed over so I wanted to see if I could get a more in depth answer about this cause it was something I considered...

Me myself, I like the looks of the / \ style cannisters that FI makes, but after listening to the Berk video's, I like the sound alot more. Which, looking at the numbers, they are relatively close as with most exhausts, so for me it comes down to Asthetics. Earlier it was mentioned that Berk went with a = design versus the / \ because of the aerodynamic lift created from the space in the / \ design.

However my original thought process was wasn't the point to make as few bends in the system as possible, for that 'straight through' power? It seems as if this puts alot more bends in it to make the = pattern work?

Do not get me wrong, I am not bashing this system at all, I really am growing fond of Berk products

and just like clarification. I will probably get this setup of HFC + CBE as soon as theres more vids of people driving with it. Dyno's are good, but unless I'm on the strip (which I'll be inside the car) I won't get to know what it sounds like to the outside world.
