Default HKS 75mm or Berk header back 3inch

i am looking to get one of these exhausts and i am wondering what people think is the better one. i dont want it to be to loud and raspy but i also want to feel some gain.

You're not really gonna feel any gain with just an exhaust for the s2k but I had the 3in berk testpipe version which I sold a year ago. It sounded nice but had way too much drone. Ears would ring after a drive especially in the canyons. I miss it and was thinking about buying another one soon but I'm just going to wait it out for another year or two to see if something better pops up.

If you want a nice sounding exhaust with the best gains you can get check out the gern pipe

I dynoed my ap1 w/ hks 75mm with berk 70mm test pipe against a 04 ap2 that had a BERK 3" single with built HFC and my ap1 put down 1 more WHP.
Ap2 made 203whp
My ap1 made 204.3 WHP

I'm in the same boat and you just sold me on the HKS. I owe you a round Maniac!

berk seams like a cleaner choice if u get the tp version. one piece header back with no res> tp plus cat back.

i plan on going with berk after i take care of some other mods.

I had the Berk 3in and then the HKS single on my AP1. You can't go wrong with either. The HKS is slightly quieter, but they're both quite loud. They're best enjoyed with the top down. After about 9 months with both exhausts I'm back to the stock exhaust right now because the noise became too much. I had a Greddy TiC single before the Berk too, which is similar to the HKS with a different tone.

I heard both. The Berk is boomy. Its a lot louder than they make it out to be. I heard my HKS 75mm beside one and I'm glad I have the HKS over the Berk.

i have the hks with berk 70mm tp and it sounds great. my only tiny issue is it has the typical slight honda rasp between shifts, but its not that noticeable. every other time it sounds awesome and its not super duper loud, just loud enough.
