I saw those Berk's in the FS section, one was $1100 local only, and one was $1200 + S&H or something I think. I would rather just buy new for within $75 or so.
yes, $500 is a petty price to pay for a better quality system. I have played that game with crappy exhausts like BBK and MAC and Flowmaster back when I had a 5.0. No thanks. I want OEM quality. |

Like many things in life, the perception of quality is different and separate from actual quality. The berk has some big, fat, hand welds that look fantastic. From a functional perspective, they don't offer substantially different integrity. They look damn sexy though. As stated before, the cracking is an install issue, not an exhaust issue. There is a support brace for the cat that a couple people failed to reinstall. |

If you are going to retain your OEM cats, our exhaust will sound just like.
Also, FI is right. Twin turbo is quieter than NA in regards to resonance and volume of an exhaust. The turbine is actually a very effective muffler/resonator. |

Mine is 99.9% drone and rasp free, louder than stock, but will not wake the neighbors or attract cops.
I have S-tune CBE + CNT resonated TP's with the flex joints welded in alternating locations to cancel out the harmonics each produces (i.e., one is welded closer to front of pipe, the other closer to the rear of pipe -- works beautifully! Even the dreaded rasp on decel is canceled out!)

you might want to read up on the K & N's, in the diesel truck world they are well known for how much dirt they flow routinely verified by oil analysis. If you never see any dust it may not matter as much, but many are blind to this issue. They don't have near the OEM micron ratings like other worthy filters do.
