hm...i havent noticed anything yet. Then i again i only drove it from the shop back to my house. When i take it out tonight ill be sure to keep my ears open and ill let you know tomorrow for sure. Where does it sound like it's coming from? The shop told me the mechanic who did my install dropped a socket in my engine bay and couldnt find it so i might be hearing that.

Ok... Just talked to Andy and here's the most recent update.
Crazystand and my Berks both shipped out today from Berk Technologies in SoCal... If this is the case, then I should be receiving mine tomorrow... I will let you know if I get them or not.
Unfortunately, dreamweaver's have not shipped out yet, since his are the 1st gen units and these aren't ready to ship yet. Berk is telling Andy that these will be another 1 - 2 weeks... he is pushing them for a better delivery. Andy said that he will give you a call directly or send you a PM on here with an update.

Sorry for the delay, man... When I talked to the guys at Berk way back when, they assured me they were in-stock and ready to ship... Little did they know, though, that we would be selling 15 sets of them on the GB, so they obviously couldn't handle the demand.
Unfortunately, I don't know of anyone that stocks them, so I don't know if you'll have any more luck getting them anywhere else. You may want to call Berk directly and ask for Bryan. His direct number is 714-546-BERK (x2375). Tell him that you bought a set of HFC's for th 1st Gen cars through Andy at HP Auto and that you want to make sure they will be ready to ship by the 1st week in April, otherwise you will have to cancel. Bryan seems like a good guy and should give you a straight up answer.
I know how you feeling... I've been waiting for these too, so I can go get my UpRev tune done and keep on having to push back my appointment.
Good luck and let me know how it goes.

nice you're all finally getting your cats, well, I went down to STL and took it to a shop to try to figure out the problem, So now I have a magnaflow x pipe(resonated) with no resonators, got rid of the sound on the acceleration side but there is still kinda a weird noise when the rev's drop, quieter, and only if done very specifically, got it back on the lift and it sounded like it came form everywhere hahahaha. Let me know if you guys get a sound when you install your berks please! Thanks!

Incidentally, my car makes what sounds like a soft sucking noise under deceleration at around 2K rpm's... It did this with the stock exhaust and it's slightly more apparent with the Tanabe on... I wonder if this is the same sound your hearing?

I called BERK today... Im very disturbed that HP autoworks has not sent them a PO for my cats since I have paid for them in full. Brian said that HP auto's order has been filled. yes the First generation Cores are not available till April.. so this leaves me in a very very tight bind.. I was going to have Berk drop ship them to my tunners but berk cant even do that until they have a PO with my address to ship to. WTF... I just called HP and left a message to find out whats going on on their end since my money has been tied up for almost 4 weeks now and no product augh... im about to panic..

Well, I just got home from the local Orange County Super Autobac's / Hooter's G meet and guess what I had sitting on my front porch? You got it... MY BERKS!!! WooHoo... finally... Now I just need to install them and then get my custom x-pip / mid-pipe done.
Based on your description in your other thread, Clement, I think it's exactly the same sound that mine and many othr G's make when the engine is under heavy vacuum under deceleration. I think it is actually back-flow in the exhaust system that is causing the noise. Whatever it is, it seems to be more apparent when you reduce the back-pressure on the system with free flowing components.

Hopefully I'll have them installed this week if I have time, or next week for sure. I will post up some new sound clips once they are on. Then my next step is a custom x-pipe / mid-pipe like yours, Clement.
