Berk CBE is sounding good. However, I noted resonance at 3700rpm under 3/4 throttle in 2nd and 3rd and 4th gears.

A bit of trial/error brought to my attention that it was the glove box, specifically, the huge fat stack of owner's manuals and tire-lock in it. I removed them to the compartment behind the passenger's seat, and the issue is gone. It now pulls through the revs as far as I am taking it at this point of break-in without any vibration. It's a nice exhaust, does what I want, and looks great. Car felt a bit peppier after installation.

I bet it did Import! I know mine has been pulling nicely through the gears! Areas that I had felt hesitation in before have smoothed right out! :)

Yep, fit and sound are very good. I am glad I did this. It makes the car very docile under 3K rpm, and an animal above that under moderate or heavier throttle. I like it. I just wish I could find an "active" exhaust like was on my Z06, but that's probably not available in this price-bracket. This Berk CBE is almost as good at that, though. Very nice for cruising. There is a SLIGHT SLIGHT bit of low frequency noise at a sustained 1900rpm in 6th, but I am not cruising at 55, so I don't care, and it's not bad, either. I would not call it drone. Just a frequency I am not fond of. It is only heard, not felt.

Good morning Mr. Happy. :tiphat: I get to go home today, finally. Week-long business trips are not my favorite.

Good Morning Mr. Happy and all the other Z early risers! :hello:

Looks like it was just the tire that was damaged by my infamous pot hole battle; the rim appears to be doing fine. I've just got to get an alignment, and I'll be good to go.

Looking forward to this weekend; there are two Coffee and Car events - Houston and The Woodlands charitable event. I'll take some better pictures of the new CarbonSignal ducktail too. That thing is awesome. I've actually gotten compliments from non-car people here at the office.

Looking forward to getting out and doing some non-commuting crawl driving. :tup:

Have a great weekend all.

I don't blame you. A couple of days is ok, but more than that? Nah. Not for me. I'm sure you're looking forward to seeing the Mrs. and your boys! :)

Yeah. I hate to admit it, but I get very homesick when I am gone more than a few days.
