that is for sure, I just put some TPs on mine with the HKS hi-power TD and it is very loud but sounds good.

 

That's what I was thinking. Although, I do believe the Nismo is louder than the Borla TD that I have. I may be ok with the metallics and the Borla but I think I will wait for the ceramics. I hate extremely loud exhausts. Since I have a roadster I especially don't want it too loud.

 

hmm....to be honest i highly doubt that the sound difference btwn the metallic and ceramic will be that noticeable. Maybe the metallics might be a bit louder but i dont think the different is substantial enough for you to wait on the ceramics, especially if youre getting a deal on it from Brian

 

How is the fitment with these? Do they come close to hitting any of the heat shields or chassis? I had the crawford HFC's awhile back and had many issues with them touching parts of the car heat shields/chassis. Anyone with some good fitment info on the berk's and or pictures would be appreciated, especially with the nismo exhaust.

 

very interested in this as well. I just had my NISMO headers arrive today with the NISMO CAI, EXHAUST and MD 5/16 spacer previously installed. Leaning towards the Berk cats to compliment my headers.

 

yeah fitment is perfect. I brought my car to a shop to do because i just think with a lift its much more convenient. Anyway i was under the car with the mechanic and the fitment was great. No issues. I havent had it on for long but from all the driving ive done so far, there have been no rattles or anything of the sort so i believe its not rubbing/touching any of the parts down there. So far so good

 

Do these happen to use the stock catalytic brace under the car? If you dont know what im talking about, its that metal piece that supports the weight of the OEM converters to the chassis.

 

note. Watching the final episode of Seinfeld on Fox with the judge that was the inspiration for your name. Carry on...

 

ok i got some driving videos but damn...i suck at making videos because u dont really hear the exhaust too much. I just didnt press the throttle enough but its an idea:

In this video some old dude honks at me for no reason...i was nowhere near him

This video was cut off because i had no more memory in the camera

^^ It's pretty simple. You get your vid camera. Put the camera a few feet from the exhaust tips. Get in your car. Push the gas pedal. Push the gas pedal. And then. Push the gas pedal with enthusiasm.

 

ok im probably going to add one more clip this weekend because i didnt get a very good chance to get the sound. But ill make sure i get on the throttle for a bit longer...just so that potential HFC buyers will know what to expect sound wise

 

man, i ordered the metallic ones for my 06 like 3 weeks ago and Gruppe-S still has no idea when they're going to get more in. Anyone know a shop that might have these in stock?

 

^^^Have you tried ordering the Berk HFC from Berk directly?

their website is berktechnology.com

 

I talked to Berk on this site asking who else he knows of that may have these in stock and he just referred me to another company that never got back to me...so i took that as I couldn't order from them directly...be nice if i could, i really miss driving my car

 

03-06 doesn't use the brace, only the 07's have them. They are light, shouldn't have to worry. I have an 03 and I love them, some of the best quality work I have seen and great fitment and sound. I still have stock exhaust.

 

^^^hey do you mind putting up a clip? I was wondering how stock exhaust/berk HFC would sound

 

If you look in the Marketplace section under the Vendors Classifieds > Engine Section you will see a post by Berk Technology https://my350z.com/forum/engine/323077-berk-technology-03-06-and-07-up-high-flow-cats-price-increase-coming-soon.html

It'll show you all the places that carry their products. I think TurboImport has them in-stock but I'm not sure.
