Yeah, I actually realized when I watched the videos back that I made that mine made it with the stock exhaust, as well.. Funny that I nver noticed it before, but I guess you could hardly hear it when you were inside the car with the stock exhaust, but with the Tanabe it is definitely more apparent. Seems that everything you do to free up the exhaust just amplifies this sounds. Wish I could figure out what it is.
Hmmm, I've gotten used to that sound and i'm fine with it, I guess I have to wait till you get your berks before you can understand, the noise i'm getting is only then the car is underload, once past around 4 k there is like the other sound coming from the car, not sure what it is, The only thing I can kinda think of it like something rattling in a can kinda. well it's something like a rattling sound. It's hard to pinpoint I'm guessing from the rear but it could be from the cats from all I know. How about you when happens when you floor it? just the sound of the exhaust?
It's like at 3 k i get the pure exhaust sound, which is great but around 4 k i have some other sound along with the exhaust sound, I hope you understand what i mean lol.

Hey guys. Just got an update from Andy. Looks like some of the people have already received these, but we are waiting on Berk for the rest, which are supposed to be ready this week. I believe Andy is shipping these in the same order that he received payment, so the rest of the GB buyer's HFC's should be shipping out this week. I still haven't gotten mine yet (since I didn't pay right away), but am hoping to have them by the end of the week.

No problem, man. It doesn't help that the forum moderators here at G35Driver deleted the GB thread, so it makes it even harder for me to keep track of everything.
I'm just sorry it too me so long to get some answers, but I was out of town for a little bit and when I got back I was having trouble getting a hold of Andy. Hopefully the remaining people will have theirs (including me) sometime next week.

Yeah I hope so too, to be honest I'm a bit disappointed. I've been in Dubai the past week and I called Aramex to see if they had picked up the order from Berks. They told me they Were having problems. So I called Berks on Thursday night and they told me that Andy had just placed the order literally an hour before I called, so now they have to wait for the funds to clear for me to give Aramex the green light to go pick it up from Berks.
Now what's disappointing is the fact that I've been in constant contact with Andy for the past 3 weeks and he's been assuring me that my order is ready for pickup from Berks, so I had Aramex go over several times to try and pick it up with no luck. Now I find out that he had never even placed the order until late last week. This annoys me and I haven't asked Andy why he ordered the part so late, maybe he forgot, but I just don't want to call him again until I get Berks to contact me again once the funds have cleared so I'm assured that the HFC will be ready.
I'm not sure what are the reasons for every one else's delays but I'm guessing they're probably along the same lines as mine.

^ That's good to know. You are th 7th person, out of 10 or 12, that I know of tht has received them... so, only a few people remaining (includng me). I know Andy orders / ships GB items in the order that he receives the payment, and I believe I was 8th or 9th to pay, right after you ordered yours, Dennis, so hopefully we'll be getting ours soon too, Defratos.
