It has very beautiful welds on it. They put a lot of time into it - either with manual welding or getting a robot programmed well.

It did stink a LOT when I first got it. Like someone was burning a full diaper in my exhaust. Like a bit of plastic and a bit of poop. Yuck! But that cleared up after a couple of weeks of daily driving. Now it has a tiny bit of that 'test pipe' smell but not very much at all. If a standard cat is considered a 1 and a test pipe is considered a 10, the Berk HFC is a 3.
+1. I got some Berk HFC's for my Z. The weld quality is stunning.

Definitely no cells. It's not a living thing. It's steel. Probably not triggering a CEL either.
