I only have the cat back, no hfc or test pipes. I think it is one of the only exhausts to have an x pipe in place of the stock y pipe. somebody can correct me If I am wrong. two great exhausts to choose from tho, can't go wrong with either one.

Fast intentions has x-pipe as well

thanks, I figured another had the x pipe. only issues that the berk had was when the exhaust was first released. one hanger was too short on the muffler portion of the exhaust, and would slip out and cause the muffler to hang uneven. this has since been fixed, I heard of no issues after that.

Berk retains the stock look and gives you a good low sound much what the 370z should of had stock. F.I. has separate cans for a more aggressive look when looking at the rear of the vehicle and you can also get them in carbon fiber. It also has its own unique deep low tone. Which sounds better to you. Either find someone locally to hear it in person or go by the youtube video. I chose F.I.

Anyone have any videos with both exhausts in the video with stock cats?

For quality & customer service, you are not going to be able to find better than Fast Intentions. The wait is more than worth it.

How about sound volume of the Berk with stock cats vs FI with stock cats and say the 18" res. Which is louder and is it by much? Which has a LOWER sound as well?

Maybe someone who's had both on can give a better answer. But from what I understand, Berk is more "what the car should have sounded like from the factory". Pretty quiet at idle, has a nice roar in the lower rpms and harmonizes with the VQ at WOT.

F.I. is a bit more exotic and has a deeper tone at the lower rpms. With stock cats, it's definitely louder from what I've read and heard.
