I'm pretty sure they just look different. my berks hfc work just fine, no CES or anything.

I do know that the berks are a bit cheaper than the FI version.

IIRC Kinetix will guarantee no SES light, if purchased from them.

If I am not mistaken, Berk changed their design to move the O2 sensor further back out of the exhaust flow to eliminate the SES light problem. I've had mine for about a year with no SES light.

berks suck. in the beginning they are fine but after some time because of the cheap magnaflow cats they use that cannot handle the heat up then cool down they expand/contract and become "too efficient" throwing your CEL. I BEEN THERE. FI FTW!
