I was under my car to install a few bolts because the previous owner just left the clutch bell housing without some bolts.. -_- SOB..

anyways, I noticed that my cat wasn't OEM. Does anyone recognize which after market cat this is? On the other side, some kind of serial number is etched on. (N/CE 59958 0712)



Thanks!

 

Looks like a Berk HFC.

 

Yeah, looks like a Berk. They make good quality products.

 

I initially suspected it was Berk's too, but I was under the impression that Berk's hfc is full stainless steel. Did you guys experience change of color like this one?

 

Yes, nothing to worry about, I have had two and both looked the same after putting some mileage on them.

 

I had previously seen photos of a Berk HFC that had a "Berk" tag welded on it.....are those old version??

 

The cat is a magnaflow HF metallic substrate cat. I know berk uses magnaflow cats, but it could be a custom job.

I know because I just welded a 59956 into my test pipe. Its the same as yours but its 2.5 instead of 2.75.

 

Mine looked similar when I took it off and sold it. And mine didn't have any "Berk" tags or anything.

 

My new Berk cat didnt have any either but i also didn't have anything that proved it was a berk . Just came in a clear bag so i feel like anyone could sell anything as one

 

My old 63.5 had a Berk plaque welded to the cat, when I got my 70 it didn't say Berk but I think it had the serial (part) number on the side.
