Berk Technology Dual Exit Muffler Delete - Review
 

I got my Berk Dual exit muffler delete today. Couldn't be happier with it all. I loved my original Berk Delete, but didn't really like the single exit for aesthetic reasons. So now with the dual exit I get the best of both worlds.

Quality of the part/construction/etc: This feels like a solid piece. The flange is very thick. All new hardware and a gasket is included, as are hanger locks to keep it from sliding off the hanger.

The tips look great. The welds look nice. Everything is simple but well done. No complaints whatsoever.

Installation/Fit: Install was a breeze. It took me 15 minutes and I'm currently one-armed (broken shoulder on other arm). The fit is fantastic. Everything lines up perfectly and it looks like OEM+ in there.

Sound/Performance: It sounds a lot like the single exit delete but it is a smidge louder. No drone at speed. Nice burble. Not too loud for daily driving IMO. Here's a stationary video. I will get a driving video up soon.

did you get to weigh it before installing?

Love the sound!!!!

no, sorry. it weighs much less than stock. I would say it's around 12 lbs.

Watching thread. BUMP!

Sounds awesome ...... price please?

How much?

I'm pinging Berk to get them to chime in. I'm sort of a beta tester so I'd imagine my price isn't exactly retail.

Looks and sounds great. The tips (especially the left one) do look a bit small in the video...but maybe that's just the angle?

As others have mentioned, it would be great to get a spec on the weight and price.

Also, looking at the pipe it LOOKS like most of the exhaust would just come out of the driver-side tip? Maybe it doesn't matter, but isn't that true?

Can we expect this to add any power or is it just for sound and weight savings?

Looks good and I would like the weight savings with that piece!

These tips are 3.5" vs 4" on the single exit delete. Personally, I think it looks better with the smaller tips. I'm not sure what tip size Berk would use for a production piece. As for flow, it appears pretty evenly distributed from my naked eye. I suppose time will tell if I see more carbon on one side than the other. I'm not concerned one way or another because it looks and sounds good to me. Power? I doubt there's any to be had from muffler removal. Maybe 1-2hp tops. I'm assuming my "soon-to-be-installed" Berk test pipe will gain noticeable power, but the muffler delete gives the car the sound it deserves.

Been waiting on this. Really want a price and availability!

not that it really matters, but wouldn't the rear left muffler sound louder than the rear right since it's closer to the flange?
