I got the Berk Tech. test pipes installed last night. Took my guy 6 hours to do since a local muffler shop stripped the driver side top bolt (didn't tell me) and also seized both o2 sensors in the cats by trying to take them out when the car was still hot. My guy had to actually take off my header and cut off the bolt to the cat pipe. He was unable to work out the o2 sensors so I had to order new ones today which will be in on Thursday morning. He did an awesome install on the test pipes. I'm driving very easy right now since I don't have the sensors in. Rasp is basically from 2-3k and nice and deep after that. The test pipes fir perfectly and are top notch. Welds are clean and the brackets are amazing.

Here's some vids

If your wondering what the gold bungs are they are additional cell fixes. I've used them on my WRX and EVO and never got a cell. $20 a piece but it's the right way to do it and you don't get that pesty little light.

 

Nice install, looks good. I installed a set of test pipes myself about a week ago and it seemed like that stock bracket was unnecessary, you can see it in your last pic. Do you guys think I should put it on? I just didnt have any bolts for it. It seems fine without it. Also, when rpms are around 3k I hear a sound like a bell ringing or something? is this normal because they are titanium? thanks, sorry to hi-jack your thread bro.

 

Hey, could you post some bigger pix? Where can you get those bronze/gold things for the O2 sensor? What is it?

 

.

 

What's titanium?

 

my test pipes and cat-back are titanium

 

Do you have an '07?

As far as the bell ringing, prolly not because it's ti, more because it's prolly rattling on something.

 

I have an 03'. I was thinking that since I didnt put that stock bracket back on it was makin that noise. Those test pipes seemed really sturdy bolted where they were, I dont see how they could be hitting something but I will put that bracket back on and see what happens.

 

Yeah, try the bracket out and see what happens.

 

could you post some sound clips of it after this install? thanks!

 

I'll tell you what man, test pipes are LOUD

 

I get them from my buddies dad who works at Renick Subaru in So Cal. They are awesome. Like I've said I've never had a cell come on with either my WRX and or EVO IX which I ran both completly catless. I have pics of them that I'll post up this weekend as well as sound clips.

 

New vids uploaded on original post. I took out the cel fixes. I have them for sale if anyone wants them. $20 each. I just think there was too much space between the pipe and the sensor.

 

Sounds perfect from inside the car. Thanks for making the videos!!

 

The in cabin clips sound pretty good to me.

 

Your welcome Bryan. Thanks for making a quality product. Can't wait to put it on the dyno!

Yes inside the cabin is awesome. No drone on the freeway cruising at 75-80. Just perfect with the Tanabe Y-Pipe and exhaust.

 

Can you post a couple of outside drive by clips at 4,000 rpms or more?

 

+1

 

did you have to buy non foulers? if so where did you get them and how much. i just orderd the same set up as you. thanks for the vid

 

sounds good enjoy!
