Just wanted to say that I was very impressed with the fitment of this test pipe. To date this is the only exhaust component that I've ever installed on any vehicle that didn't leak the first time I started it up. Smooth bends, pretty welds, its a shame its underneath the car. One issue I have is the placement of the O2 sensor bung though. It's angled kind of down, so that coupled with a mechanical cel fix the wire end of the sensor is pretty low. I've yet to look on flat ground but I bet it's pretty close to being even with the frame rails if not a tad lower.
I haven't had a chance to drive it yet but I'll give butt dyno results as soon as they are available.

 

I just ordered my Invidia V2 and opted not to get the test pipe because of emissions. I also did not want to do the CEL fix.

I have had the Invidia TP for awhile with the mechanical fix and have not had any problems. I am also lowered about an inch.

 

I had the Invidia TP not too long ago.. Im lowered on Espelir springs and live in NYC. Navigating through these rough roads has always been a concern when it comes to smashing the O2 but it never happen. I have driven through some VERY bad terrain in NYC too.

 

any results yet? why did you go with the invidia over the berk?

 

berks throw a cel....even with a fouler...switching to invidia

 

An ignorant generalization. I am going on 9 months with my berk and no CELs. I know quite a few other members one of which is a moderator on S2ki is going on 1.5 years with it and no problems. Like every aftermarket part, there will inevitably be some people that have problems. Don't be dumb and generalize the quality of a part based on a few people with problems.

BTW, what is the point of listing car mods you don't have on your car anymore?

 

Two friends have Berks with no issues in over a year.

Mine on the other hand did throw CEL, ran a short anti-fouler and it came back on, then ran a short anti-fouler coupled with a long one and its been off ever since.

Guess its kind of hit and miss with their testpipes (Note: all 3 were installed on AP2's)

 

yea berk's testpipe rocks...i got an ap1 with the tp and i havn't had a cel yet. the best thing about the berk's is the angle that the o2 sensor is at...its completely horizontal with the bottom of the car so even if you have to use the anti fouler mechanical fix nothing is pointing down.
