great job on posting video and pictures. Quality is not cheap. Great looking mufflers. Perfect for luxury sport IMHO. Once I convince tanabe for the midpipes,even better

Thanks! Get on that midpipe deal. Do you think they actually will do it?

Updated first post with a video of the exhaust under load. Really gives you a good idea what it sounds like.

Enjoy.

Congrats. Will check out the vids when I get home from work. After a week of breaking it in, you'll find the exhaust note to be more refined and smoother. Enjoy.

Awesome videos! I don't know how much of that purr is due to your HFCs but it definitely sounds pretty good. Nice drive-bys.

I haven't seen one with the combo, but here are separate links for each. Basically the BERK HFC's gave around 13 HP and 6 TQ and the Tanabe exhaust gave 8 HP and 7 TQ. Of course this doesn't mean you can add up the two to give you a total.

Tanabe Dyno

BERK Dyno

I have no idea, but that's the only info I've seen on it. I'll try and PM
RYs06MT to see if he ever posted the dyno sheet.

Below is what RYs06MT had to say. I didn't do a before and after dyno.

Quote:

It's legit, but as with everything you should always do your own before and after dyno. Dynos can be programed to say whatever companies want as people will see with the Injen intake it's all about their caliberations. I don't know what Tanabes were, but if you before and after dyno your car you will have an exact number.

Yea I got the same reply from Ry too. But in his post:

Key facts are it is under 93db which is 100% street legal, the tips & sound are flawless.

What does that mean when he said he was told of a 8hp/7tq gain. Does he have the Tanabe and they dynoed his car then told him the result or something? Or it was another owner?

When he says eh was

Yes it was his car they used to dyno the exhaust, at least that's what I got from his PM. Check It ↓

Yes their all averages, that's what my car made, so a car with the same set up, dyno'd in the same tempature should produce similiar results. Now if you take different areas, different weather, different tempatures, different mods, maybe they will produce more. I think everyone that concerned with the numbers should do a baseline dyno, then another after every part to keep an idea of what their car is gaining.
