This is why I went with Berk, numbers are the same as everyone, liked the sound, and the price (at the time) could not be touched by anyone. Now if only I could have it. :(

Performance wise, they offer the same approximate increase as the other choices, about 18HP, and...... the build quality and materials seem to be in the same ballpark, so the final determining factor is they are about $500 cheaper than the FI or Stillen. Now, this could all change after they complete version 2 of the exhaust, dyno numbers could drop, sound could be crappy. Will have to wait and see. I am still open minded as to what I'll do.
ha cool, price is definately a factor...

whished i couldve got the F.I. for what i paid for the SLP loudmouth on the mach...

antennahead 09-20-2009 11:52 AM
I tend to agree with Frost's comment, $1500 is a lot to pay for an exhaust. The Invidia is projected to be around $1000, based on the price of the current Q300.

Z eliminator is on the right track no pun intended that the tires are a problem trying to get them to stick. I did mention that cheater slicks are needed.

As a daily driver I want reasonable sound levels under normal load, and if I get on it then it opens up with a nice roar. Also cruising highway speeds no drone, sounds like resonators are a must for me. Add to that a nice bump in HP, assuming the two (sound and HP) are not mutually exclusive.

ya seems drone is the thing that discourages some folks from after market cbe...

............ and thats one thing they are working hard on with version 2 of the Q300, eliminate/reduce the drone. Time will tell.

Yep, Mike at DDM is talking to Berk to see if he can offer while the extension has been put on the CBE, but no word yet if he will offer the price again.

My two choices were Berk & F.I., the price of the berk at the time won.

the only thing i didnt like about berks and stillens was the way they chose to run the mufflers...

and honestly the sound of the F.I., just listening to all of the video clips of the three, gave the best representation of the tone that i was after...

True, I was unable to hear wstar's car last night because he always ran the set in front of me so my windows were already up and I was making sure I was set.

Yep, no vdc.
Had to go through a check list, VDC off, windows up, AC was off when I was waiting in line to tech in so never had to worry about that.
