the berk tp measures 63.5 outter diameter, so its a true 60mm pipe on the inside. most test pipes and exhausts that list at 60mm is accounted for the actual outside diameter. this was the conversation i had with berk. good luck. (and berk products and services are quality)

Check this out for a clutch bleed DIY: Clutch Bleed Howto
I changed my clutch master cylinder a while back and wound up replacing all of the fluid in the process which put quite a bit of air in the hydraulic system. If you let the reservoir level get too low I think you may run into a similar problem as I did: even after bleeding the clutch the engagement point was low and the clutch pedal felt "soft." While the linked thread says to pump the clutch 3-4 times to restore pressure in the system it did not do the trick for me. On another thread on this forum I found a suggestion for pumping the clutch 50 times - that's what it took for me to get full pedal feel and a normally high engagement point with out any other adjustments on the hydraulic system. I thought I'd done something wrong initially but it's been 3,000 miles now and the clutch still operates wonderfully.
Good luck and wrenching on my S is one of the most frustrating and satisfying parts of owning it.

"really good" is "really subjective" 
i think its one of the best bang for your buck mods if you dont mind burning a hole in the ozone. it helps throttle response, is a decent chunk lighter, you should be able to get a couple whp out of it, and you will surely smell like gas everywhere you go.
