Default berk technology testpipe

hi guys just wonderin how berk did their CEL FIX. i checked thier site and it seems that they only extnded the tube where you have to put th o2 sensor..... or does it come with a sensor or somekind of thing to fix the CEL ?? or is it that they just moved the 02sensor away from the direct exhaust so it can read like the stock cat converter. pls help me. thanks

so that whats berk technology did. so theres no chip or electronic device attached to it to FIX the CEL...... they just moved it farther away... how about the angle?? thanks... cause one of friend was telling me that the berk testpipe has an electronic device on it that fixes the CEL... so i guesss its not true......

xileap2: it says on the site that it will work on my07 s2000

I ended up with the CEL on MY04' when I put the test pipe on........decided I didnt like the sand storm noise and went with the High Flow Cat and the CEL went away.

Aside from fixing the check engine light, what do you think of the high-flow cat?

I thought it was a great idea but you don't hear much about them. Berk claims most of the flow of the test pipe, and twice the flow of the stock cat. With no smell and smog legal it sounds like a winner. Did you notice much difference between the stock cat and this in terms of sound or response?

I'm really pleased with it. The high flo cat doesnt weigh much more than the test pipe, and its almost as loud. I think it did smell for just the first day or so, but you dont get that sound of sand rushing through your exhaust. I cant really comment about gains becuase I put the header and cat on at the same time. My throttle response is quicker with maybe a little higher mid-range pull.
