Default These cats are shot..

I picked my car up 4 days later, they stuck the stock cats back on. It's crazy how quiet the car is now, no wonder why, both HFC were empty. They're loaded full of cracks. They tried to salvage them for basicly no reason. Plus one cat broke at the flange. If anyone can direct someone from Berk to this thread I'd appreciate it. The car doesn't hesitate anymore either.

I started a new thread so people would see it.

No they werent empty. I bought them from a member on here last year, I put like 8k on them and that member put 5k maybe. They cracked in the summer at the cat weld totally, the pipe disconnected, holy **** was it loud. Slyde ^^ heard it. You could hear me comin a mile away WOT lol, the looks I would get. It was embarrasing but kinda fun if you got an electronic cutout. Its so nice to be able to breathe in the car again. Even before the loud noise came the car used to stink inside. I guess the cracks were too small to really be noticeable by sound. I owe the guy 350 dollars now and I don't start my new job till thursday ugh.

I didnt drive the car for like 4 days I think and when I drove home I definetly felt a difference. The weight of the empty cats combined with the less restriction was noticable. Not night and day of course but maybe I'll try their new 2.5'' diameter hfc or tp's.. If Berk is kind =)

If you bought them used you cannot verify if the have 5,000 or 50,000 miles. Still they look like crap. Look for test pipes and skip Berk for sure.
