Just wanted to share my new exhaust setup as I had a pretty hard time finding decent videos of the same combination on a sedan (piping is smaller so different sound than coupe). I love it, doesnt drone very much and definitely noticed more power on the top end but loss on the low end.

It's definitely louder but not obnoxiously loud as one might think. Maybe its different on coupes, but for the sedan I almost want it louder than it is now. The tone is awesome, kept that nice Ark note but louder. My installer recommended I went with aluminum z1 gaskets instead of the graphite ones that came with the berks, so that's what I went with and I think that is causing the "blap" you are hearing when the car shifts in the video. I like the sound, almost sounds like those DSG S4's when they shift at higher RPM but unique.

Overall very happy with this setup but again wish it were a bit louder. I have an uprev tune scheduled for this tuesday and will update with results!

 

Its Tuesday!

 

Anyone else think this seems a bit low? Mods are R2c, Berk cats and Ark exhaust..

Kinda disappointed with the numbers but the car seems faster after the tune. Not sure whats up. Maybe go get a second opinion somewhere else?

I know all dynos will read different, this particular one is off a dynocom.

 

The setup sounds great...doesn't seem too loud. Where'd you get it tuned?

 

Thank you.. Real auto dynamics in oceanside, long island. Little concerned with the numbers but I love the way the car drives post tune.

 

It's low cause he stopped 1500 RPMS SHORT ! the dyno should have been run to 7800?
Why'd they stop at 6300? That makes no sense.

 

How did they stop at 6300? The graph clearly goes past 7k, max power was made at 6300 on run 1 before the tune.

I'm actually not too concerned because a fully bolted 370z with meisterschaft exhaust only put down 260 according to their dyno, maybe it just reads low.

 

I wouldn't worry to much about it. Probably just a stingy dyno.
