wait...i'm an exhaust noobie... isn't a muffler delete illegal? But this system sounds pretty darn good... really deep and thunderous if i may

Not necessarily illegal depending on the decibel output.

jeebus · 10-18-2012, 03:26 PM

A little observation: I noticed it's a tad boomy under load at 2k RPM. The single delete was not like this. I suspect it's some resonance caused by the added length of pipe. I'm thinking it will tone down a bit as some carbon coats the pipes. I'll keep you all posted.

Oh and FYI, nothing illegal about a muffler delete. If it's past the DB limit they can get ya, but you don't have to have ANY pipes after the cat if you don't want.

Can you get some in car driving videos? Maybe some drive by's too?

I loved the sound of this but i am afraid its a bit two loud. Afraid i wouldn't be able to live with it every day.

boomy as in, a little louder for no reason at a certain RPM that quiets down right after.

Oh and FYI, I spoke with Berk and they said they will be chiming in about pricing and availability shortly!

Does shortly mean hours, days, weeks? I was very close (days) to going to a local shop to have one made for me when this was posted. I'd really like to know if I can have this before a certain event coming up. Need to know if I should just go to local shop.

I called Berk, was told they'd call me back in an hour. Been 24 hours since, no answer.

Hey Guys,

We are an authorized direct dealer for Berk Technology and I think I can answer some of the questions for you.

As far as I know, they will be offering Rear Dual Muffler 2.5inch setup just like the one OP has for about $300-350 MSRP.

Now, BERK has protoyped a full catback system which is going to be on D-SPORT's FRS vehicle. So keep your eyes open around December and January for that. As far as pricing on the full catback exhaust, there is not definite price, but they are trying to keep it under $900.00 or even lower. Also, the piping will be a bit larger at 70mm due to the high compression engine.

Also, for anyone looking to get BERK's muffler delete track pipe or test pipe/ HFC setup, I'm offering free shipping for the month of October only as an promotion with BERK.

Is there any evidence to indicate that 70mm is necessary? On N/A? I still want to see the results.

I've had a few calls for this same setup from several of you. I don't have pricing for you but I think we can swing this setup for about $300 in full stainless and all TIG'ed. It does ship in a decent size box and I'd estimate shipping at $30-40.

I hope someone puts up a video of this with your test pipe, no emissions here where I live.

This sounds promising! As long as the muffler delete sounds like i hope it does.

Id love to hear more reviews and some more videos.

This is good to hear! Honestly, I'm about to get a quote from a local exhaust shop that's done work for me before, but I do like the fit/finish/sound of this thing. Definitely waiting to hear the driving videos, in-car would be great, too!

Any chance of larger tips?
