I read through a few threads and have been thinking about getting berk TP's. I love the nismo exhaust but I definetly have been wanting it to be louder. I could wait until I get my tax return and get the HFC, but seems so much easier to get the TP that are half the price and probably louder. I know theres gonna be rasp and the dumb cel light but I'm sorta impatient. So... Not really sure what I wanna do, any input?

 

Unless you don't mind the rasp around 2000-3500 rpms then get them, but I warned you!

I would recommend the Berk HFC's or resonated TP's. I have the normal Berk TP's now, and they fit and work great, but the rasp is pretty crazy. I had all combo's on the Nismo, and everything sounds good except normal TP's. So, my vote would be for HFC's.

I have a MD shock wave exhaust on the way, so I have to live with the rasp for a little longer.

 

i say wait a little for the HFC

i see youre in jersey, inspections every yr. if youre impatient, you might not be the type who wants to switch out tp for stock cats for every inspection

but sometimes, ive craved the sound of nismo + tp. maybe one day ill kave TP and HFC on hand

 

This one guy regretted test pipes and went into a deep depression. Hasn't spoken since.

 

just get resonated tp, there is less rasp

 

i heard he hasnt been seen since either. sad sad deal.

 

if you are smart you would get the Berk's metallic HFCs.. they offer pretty much the same performance and you don't get that annoying bog like you would with test pipes..

if you wanna know how they sound with nismo exhaust search youtube under my username

 

Thanks guys. I guess ill set that money aside. Yea i live in jersey but inspection isnt due anytime soon since its an 07. Only like 3 more weeks till my birthday so what the hell. I really didnt want rasp anyway lol. Good thing I asked before my nap, was gonna order em. Thanks for the advice guys.

 

Well thats on hold..... I drove in the snow carefully few times, yet this morning on the way to work like a normal day I was going around a curve and lost the back end and spun around and slid into a hill. Took it for an oil change and while it was up on the lift they found the radiator support is totally cracked, and I need a new bumper and the washer container cracked......so looks like insurance time ahhhh.

 

sorry to hear ya did messed up your car man. its for the better. if you are gonna run the nismo exhaust run it with high flow cats. it sounds to nasty in the rasp range and you will not be happy.

 

Yep, I do my own taxes so hopefully soon as I get my w2 I'll be able to buy the hfc's, I cant wait.

 

its 2009. Anyways the rasp i had with nismo was SEX. I have vids but there on Facebook of my runs at Zdayz

 

I'll say it again.



Ehh it's not really that bad after a while.
