not yet...waiting till i et my resonators.

 

im waiting for this hfc to arrive^^
i would post before and after clip when i get them on hand^^

 

Alright thats great Do you have stock exhaust or aftermarket? It'll be great if you post sound clips and your impressions of the HFC after install.

 

yup.. lol but im a bit worry because i cant find any bros on this forum put them on our v36s....
um.. i have K&N and kakimoto exhaust

 

True but the 1st gen guys swear by them. So I don't think you're in bad company. They have been working on G35s and similar cars for quite sometime so they have an idea of what they are doing lol. Best of luck with this.

 

I went with the Berk's and have never regretted my decision. They do not throw the CEL, and have zero rasp. Berk's reputation and the factory style mounting bracket was the main reason for choosing the Berk over the others. I would not buy an HFC that doesn't have these brackets... I've heard too many horror stories from guys that have broken header / manifold bolts, studs, and even welds because the connection bolts are having to support the entire weight of the front of the exhaust. The factory put that bracket there for a reason. Just my $.02.

 

i have thought about that too..and i was quite caution about the bracket too...
i was gona get the berk,but after hearing the sound in person from my buddies' car(stock exhaust beside HFC), it is too raspy.....thats why i wanna test the kinetix.

 

Hmmm. That's odd. I've had the Berks on my car for almost a year and I don't have any rasp whatsoever... I've also heard the Berks on several other cars without any rasp. Make sure when you are listening to them they are broken in and warm... If they are new or cold, then they may be a little louder than once they break in.

 

+1

I had Berks HFC + HR Y pipe when I ran my stock exhaust on my G last year. Didn't have any rasp either...

Now the exhaust gas hiss on deceleration that's another story. It comes no matter which HFC or test pipes you run on our stock exhaust. Its part of the territory.

 

^ Yeah I've heard that hiss on almost every G... It happens under vaccum, not under throttle. so it's definitely not related to rasp.

 

well i dunno much about HFC, thats why i just wanna give it a try, and i will let u guys know for sure ^^
but now im afriad of the cracking issue without the bracket haha

 

You could always have an exhaust shop weld some brackets on for you... shouldn't be too big of a deal.. or, just go with the Berks.

 

berk you can get it for around 380 - brand new from few vendors on driver- plus berk has that extra bracket for the additional support

 

Does anybody know, if Kinetix use ceramic or metallic catalyc converter? I beleive, stock catalyc converter is ceramic, isn't it?

 

Please expand.. I've never heard of kakimoto
Do you have any pics or better yet.. any videos of the set up?

Sorry for reviving an old thread.
