Hi, i am looking to get a Berk Technology 3" headerback exhaust. For anybody who has one or has experience with one, can i drive with it everyday? My friend has a greddy ti-c 70mm single and i thought that it was too loud (without silencer in). How does the berk compare to the greddy?

Thanks,

Alex

 

I have no idea how it's like compared to the Ti-C but I removed mine within a day. However I have to admit that it sounds nice. Best sound exhuast I've ever heard.

But IMO it is not a DD exhaust, I had the Hi-Flow cat version as well. There is noticeable drone upon accelerating from 3K-4K but VTEC is amazing. Not sure if. hardtop with gutted soft top makes any difference but I couldn't drive with it in SoCal.

Maybe you can find someone local to you with it, and go for a ride.

 

10k+ miles later. Yes it's DD-able. The sound level is much worse in a CR since there is no sound deadening material and I think it's manageable. It is comparable to Ti-C, and I think it's a little better than the Ti-C.

 

You will never try so fast as to shift into 6th gear while DDing with this exhaust. I can't stand driving long distances with it. 3-4k rpm is brutal with a hardtop. I race to 6th gear.

WOT sounds like sex though it really is an amazing sound. I wouldn't use it for DDing but maybe I'm a wuss.

I hate driving to autox with it on but I love it once I'm there

 

Ok so looks like for dd it might not be the best idea. I might consider the hks high power exhaust because I've heard it's quiet but sounds awesome

 

Invidia q300 is a popular exhaust from DD. The Berk is quite loud but it is amazing at WOT. I DD with it and interstate speeds are horrible. There aren't many singles that are quite.

 

I switched from a TIC to the Berk. It's hard to tell you it is or isn't SF friendly since sound is subjective. I think the Berk is louder compared to the Tic but not bad. The berk has a good sweet spot that makes it almost silent around 45-50, which is where I spend most of my time around town. I did add a resonator to help with rasp and it helped a lot with that and interior drone. I do feel the hfc version would be better, but if you think the TIC its too loud, I think you still find the Berk to loud also.

 

Yah i am looking at the q300 single now as it seems to be the better choice for dd (at least for me). Do you know if it makes any power?

 

Are you looking to sell it???
