Some of you with the berk duel muffler delete seem to really like it and I'm going back and forth. Should I pull the trigger on it instead of saving my pennies for something bigger like a tune?

Berk
Pros: Sounds good? I have never heard one in person..just videos.
(looking for a deep mean sound lol...not too loud)
Cons: no real performance gain for $360

Tune
Pro: POWER
Con: money I guess haha

I'm 22 and in college so working park time doesn't allow a huge payroll. Having a small mod budget what would you do? Buy Berk now and resave for tune or skip berk and get a tune faster?

THANK YOU GUYS & GIRLS

I'd personally go, Springs, wheels tires, then tune, then power mods.

You should do it. If you spend a little bit more and get a drop in filter as well you'll notice some gains for sure.

I'd put a Perrin pulley on it. It was the first mod part I bought, and I waited until just recently to install it. The car is noticeably more lively with one. That's just over $100. With the $200 you have left I'd vote some better springs for the stock struts.

Estey · 12-30-2012, 03:56 AM

lol, everyones reply is going to be different as you can see. You obviously would enjoy either one of these mods, so i would flip a coin. Its a win win situation.

jflogerzi · 12-30-2012, 04:02 AM

Out of those, tune would be a better bet.

RazorHawk · 12-30-2012, 09:26 AM

I would think you would want to do exhaust first, as doing a tune later would be better once the exhaust is on, otherwise you may need/want to do another tune after the exhaust.

Just my 2c
