Berk HFC installed.. DAMN!
#36
But. Ofcoure it would be a lot
better with a new bigger pipe after market exhaust bc I know the original y-pipe is restrictive and the piping for the exhaust is smaller.

Congrats on the buy.. i also have berks.. along with a 370z HR Y-pipe, coupe middy, and hks sport muffler... i do agree with you on how the berks give you a more aggressive note BUT... the gains you are talking about are a bit exaggerated.. especially without a tune.. dont get me wrong, they def give gains, but not enough for you to walk your friends 350.. also its a bit weird that he was beating you before the berks.. stock for stock the g35 is faster than the g35 coupe and 350z.. if you don't believe me search the forums for the times... as far as your gains.. keep in mind that a more aggresive sound will make it seem like the HP increased dramatically. But if you still feel like you gained alot of HP from the berks.. do yourself a favor and tune it.. you'll be speechless. Regardless, enjoy the berks and keep modding! (My apologies if i sounded like a jerk, i just want to warn others because they might be dissapointed when they dont experience the same gains you did... i hope i didnt burst your bubble) one more thing.. if you do want really noticable gains.. get some heads THAN tune..

So yeah you're right, I would see more gains with a tune vs no tune of course. But overall Berk HFC were a really good bang for the buck vs the spacer. Especially with my butt dyno feel LOL.

he has a g35 coupe. a 350z should beat him solely on curb weight. true headers do add a decent amount of hp but install is a pain in the ***. you will end up dropping more on installation than on the headers themselves.
I would get a tune tho since you have a number of breather mods.

Installation will be a pain the ***. Installing my own HFC and seeing where the headers are and all tight spots.. man its going to be mind bottling. I wont worrying about paying for installation bc I work at an autoshop so its all GOOOOOOD.

Is the Berk HFC quieter than the KenticsHFC or about the same?
