Did you get the cat-delete option or the catted? The one on my car is the cat-delete model, which I'd imagine would sound a little different. It's also tuned on Flashpro with VTEC set at 3500rpm's so it's on the more aggressive cam much earlier than stock, which could change the tone. Lastly it could just be the camera I used, which admittedly is not the highest quality. Hope this helps.

Hey guys, I just installed this on my AP1 and love it! thanks for helping decide what to get OP.
few questions tho, the 2 rubber mounts that came with the kit, where do they go?
also the xtra hanger they gave you, anyone have a picture of where that bolts up to?
the way I have it, its rubber my rear lip and it rattles against the bolt underneath.
thanks!

The mount goes to the diff to help secure the exhaust better. You need to play with the mounts to have it sit properly so it doesn't contact portions of the car.

/\/\ Tell me about it. I'm going to have to cut the mounts off mine to fix them. As supplied (complete integrated HFC, 3" system), there's only about 7mm of clearance to both the inner CV joint bolt heads and 7mm to the rear subframe; it isn't sufficient, considering how loosely the system is positioned. And two gripes--first, why aren't the mounting posts beveled on the backside like the stock parts? It's nearly impossible to remove the rubber isolator after they have been slid on. Secondly, and Berk isn't the only one guilty of this: why in god's name does everyone convert the rearmost double-point isolator mount into a single point isolator, and then struggle with trying to keep the exhaust from moving around? It boggles my mind. Honda did that for a reason. Gah.

The parts are beautiful however, and the bends are well made and everything looks otherwise high quality, but holy hell I would prefer if it just fit.

It fit perfectly for me and had no rubbing issues despite hopping curbs and pulling close to 1.5Gs on certain tracks. Roads in California are horrendous. With the vibration, I still didn't contact the tubing. Overall, it feels flimsy, but it's fairly solid when done right.

First problem with this exhaust set up! no biggie but my exhaust clamp some how broke and also stripped the threads on the bolt & nut. Ordered a new one from berk for 15$ just to lazy to put it on. Non the less this is this an amazing sound exhaust!

Fast shipping, I ordered it and it arrived at my house 2 days later

Just bought the Berk 3" catback version, very upset regarding QC. The fabricator cut the midpipe too long and decided to take a grinder to the three bolt flange to shave down the pipe sticking past the flange... So I now have a gouged flange (will probably seal ok) and pipe sticking past the flange (will not seal, I will have to dremel the pipe down without knicking the flange too bad, only ~1/16" past in two spots, sloppy) CHECK YOUR FLANGES BEFORE YOU INSTALL! I have worked in a metal shop, that welder at Berk needs a vacation or something more permanent, a grinder was the wrong tool to try and fix his mistake, a die grinder would have been the correct tool for the job or perhaps cut your pipe to the correct length before welding the flange on it.

Probably should work with Berk on this issue.

Has anyone ever ordered the modified Berk w/ resonator? Definitely interested in the Berk, but would prefer to keep the noise/drone down as much as possible.
