Berk HFCs on Factory Nismo Exhaust RASP

QVu · 01-19-2011, 11:35 AM

No Plans to remove the Nismo exhaust. The volume level with the Berks is satisfactory at this point.

Debating on getting an Intake while saving up for FI.

I have the Berk HFC's and the stock nismo exhaust and pretty much have the same sound. I'm not really sure if its gotten any better, my car has been in storage since November.

I have had test pipes for about two months with the rasp(~6000mi). I just a Stillen CBE on and it is worse! It is driving me insane, I think I am going to put my cats back on and deal with the loss. I was playing with the thought of header wrap all the way back to the muffler, starting at the test pipes....

I spoke to Berk a lil while ago and they said that the rasp is expected. I sent him my youtube clip and they confirmed it.

i had rasp on my old 350z i had TurboXS Test Pipes

MrJdmNismo · 02-10-2011, 05:12 AM

There will always be a rasp with test pipes&high flow cats...

Nikkolai · 02-13-2011, 11:41 AM

I hate that rasp sound and I was thinking of getting high flow cats as well. FIY, the "washer mod" is very raspy when cold but disappears as the car warms up.

Thanks for the info, I'm planning on doing this as well... I wish someone would manufacture the X-Pipe other than Amuse (which costs $1600), I'll ask a shop to fab it for me.

Jason370 · 04-24-2011, 08:38 AM

Might the fellow who constructed your Nismo's X-pipe offer these for sale to interested Nismo owners?

QVu · 04-27-2011, 12:18 PM

I've sent an email to Fast Intentions inquiring about having them fab up an x-pipe for me to hopefully resolve that damn rasp/rattle. I wanna keep the Nismo exhaust but don't wanna pay $1700 for the Amuse pipe. We'll see what they say...

Look into the exhaust section. I posted a thread in regards to this and some of us are waiting to see if FI can do this for us for a reasonable cost.

i talked to Tony and he'd be happy to custom build one for me. it'd be about a quarter of the cost of the amuse pipe, but you have to go to him. which isnt tough considering you're already in ventura county. i was planning to make a trip down sometime in the coming months and he was on board with it (but its a 700 mile round trip for me, gas is a bit**). give him a call...they're in northridge, which is an hour from you!

QVu · 04-27-2011, 05:06 PM

Yea I'll definitely give him a call. I'm actually like 15 mins from him so that would be perfect. I'll definitely keep you guys in the loop.

Does anybody have any opinions on whether the nismo exhaust with the FI resonated HFC's still has the rasp sound? Or does anybody have this setup and and a sound clip? I have 2011 nismo with K&N typhoon, and I'm undecided whether to purchase the FI resonated HFC's. Need some advice guys

Birdmanx1 had HFC's with the stock Nismo exhaust I believe. Scroll through his journal, I think he has a sound clip in there.
