Default Berk HFC in OEM-style

Hi guys

now i've got a Berk 70mm HFC - thanks to Bryan for this smooth transaction
it looks and fits very good, but due to very rigorous police controls in switzerland i decided to hide the HFC from foreign looks with the original heat shield

so i had to weld some brackets on the tube
here is the result:

^That's awesome! I think more HFC/Testpipes should have flanges welded on to give ppl the option of putting the stock heat shield on.

awesome & agreed--this should be an option for high flow cats in case we want to put the heat shields back on.

it's my own work

first i had to find the exact position and angle from the HFC to the heat shield
i fixed it together with a tape
then i cutted out cardboard to have templates for cutting out the sheets

put the heat shied on the pipe and mark the position of the little tube with a M18x15 thread for the O2-Sensor
drill a 5mm hole in the pipe

al last i fixed the sheet cutouts with tape at the upper part of the shield (see Pic 3) and then spot-welded it at the pipe

after this all sheets can be welded at the HFC

as you know someone who is good in welding stainless steel it really no problem
i took sheets of 2.5mm thick, so that most of the welding-heat goes on the bracket and so you can avoid burning holes in the pipe


if someone is interessted, i have the cardboard templates
i could try to make a drawing, scan it and load it up


BTW:
the Berk-HFC is awesome
the butt-dyno says the car runs as good as with the 70mm testpipe, but without smell and smoke
didn't think this HFC has so much flow - great!
and it sounds absolutely awesome with the Ti-C single behind it

Again many thanks to Bryan@BerkTechnology!
