Installed my Berk Technology Dual Exit Muffler Delete (Pic's and Video)
 
Update - Video!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz-O4...ature=youtu.be

I took some time tonight to install my Berk Technology Dual Exit Muffler Delete. My first impressions were that the pipe was well built with solid welds and nice tips. I'm not a fan of huge exhaust tips and these ones seemed like just the right size.

The install took all of 15 minutes. I did the install on the ground. Lifting the car is not necessary unless your car is lowered. The hardest part is trying to get the hangers to slide off the mounts of the OEM muffler. Installing the Berk pipe after the original muffler was removed took about 5 minutes. The pipe utilizes the two rear hangers and comes with allen key tightened stays.

The tips fit nicely in the cut outs with about a half inch of poke on each side. The centering is spot on. The tips are a little larger than the OEM muffler and fill the cutouts nicely without taking up too much room.

This pipe sounds awesome. It's very loud for the first few minutes and startes to quiet down as it warms up. There is lots of rumble down low that smooths out as revs climb. Throttle blips sound nice and are followed by a few hearty burbles. This exhaust has very little drone when cruising in 5th and 6th gear.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the Berk Technology Dual Exit Muffler Delete. This quality kit is very easy to install, well built, sounds great, and is very affordable.

TL;DR. Berk Dual Exit Exhaust is good. Go buy one.

The video is uploading to youtube as we type. I will post it as soon as it uploads (looks like about 35 minutes).

Probably will be sleeping, but cool!

Can't wait to see this. I'm considering this, I'm just wondering if it'll be too loud so CA and all if its rules.

Does anyone have a resonated delete like this one out yet? Not super familiar. The sound from the video didn't sound that bad though, I hear much worse rolling through my neighborhood on a nightly basis.

Honestly it sounds even better in real live. My iPhone's microphone is crap and so is youtube's encoding. 3 days later and I am still loving this thing. This is my favorite mod so far.

i've had mine for about a month now and i completely agree. anyone that's even thinking about it should bite the bullet and go for it. seriously. it's only $300. even cheaper than an intake with better gains and better sound and even cleans up the ugly stock tips. plus installation is like 15 min

Haha Dynosty was having a group buy special on here. They even sent me other cool stuff like a Hat and a Berk plate frame. Awesome guys to deal with.

Berk Exhaust
 
dale.m will this pass SCCA's sound limit of 98dba ??

Also what is the weight savings?

I'm ready to buy depending on answers to these 2 questions.

Thanks

I passed a 98db limit from 50 feet at a recent track day. I revved to 4k rpms for the db meter test and didn't get any flack from the staff all day after redlining the car on track. There was also a mounted db meter trackside monitoring sound levels.

gmookher 12-10-2012 11:47 AM

any gains in power?

I don't have a decibal meter, but I believe it would pass the SCCA's limit at 98dBa at 50 feet. If there is an app in the app store for my phone, I will include the results in the drive by videos.

I'd say the delete is good for a 15 pound weight loss. I can't find the thread where it gave the information for the actual weight loss, but its somewhere around 15.

I have an iPhone and I am using the built in bluetooth.

DSport made 180hp over a 172.96 baseline with the Berk single exit delete, so its probably around the same and just a tad bit heavier.

Blue86 12-10-2012 10:42 PM

So sound differences between the Berk and Work ones? One being resonated the other being straight pipe.

I want one of these 2 but don't know which yet.

Also want to know best place to get it in Australia

This has absolutely no problem passing if you have the stock resonator/midpipe on.

We've had one on our car and it definitely passes the "girl test" as well.
