the only 2 things holding me back from ordering is i don't want it to sound like a cheap aftermarket exhaust, and i also heard that the smell can get pretty bad with the top down. maybe i can check out a tp'd car at the next meet.

 

The smell isn't that bad at all, its pretty rare when I can actually smell anything out of the ordinary. I also like the way my resonated Megan testpipe changed my exhaust tone.

Check my sig for an o2 simulator.

I looked up the Invidia before purchasing the berk and to my knowledge there is no other S2k test pipe on the market with an integrated O2 sensor CEL fix.

 

well there will be soon if you wanna buy one of mine.

does anyone have a pic of the berk? I imagine they just have an anti fouler to fake it out, but before I build 10 pipes I'd like to see a pic.

 

well guess what there is an argument becaue YOU ARE WRONG!!!

go to that link and scroll down to view all the pictures....

 

That's a pretty fancy O2 sensor fix! Is it brass?

I have the megan test pipe on the stock exhaust now, I didn't notice much difference in sound except at WOT.

 

I'm Looking into buy a Used Spoon tp for my S.

Does any one know what kind of power gains are achieved with a Stock Exhaust ?

 

That is a good question, my car is bone stock except for the test pipe. I think it would be very interesting to do a dyno run to see what type of gains the pipe brings.

 

I am not that technical, but I can't imagine why any test pipe would be different from any other. If its a straight pipe and fits, what could be different. Don't know don't care, but I do know it helped a lot, sounds totally different with my HKS and love it. I got the 02 sim. from our local parts distributor Urmil, so I was set.
Although I didn't tighten it enough and it came loose and rattled.
I agree with Ryan best $100 mod I got yet.

I'd say if Brad can build them, why not buy it.

If I am wrong with how they could differ, so be it. I love mine though,
