mikeyb Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Hi All, Has anyone just put the Berk Decats on the standard exhaust before? does it sound much different? CHeers Quote
Bems Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Yes & yes. Buy them, they are worth every penny! Quote
mikeyb Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 Cheers - basically I want an Invidia Gemini Exhaust but seen as though it is christmas time i have little spare cash and just want a bit more noise and a Decat seems like th ebest option at the moment because its cheaper. Quote
RafsZed Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 I'm having Horsham developments fit them for me next year as well as an uprev, they also suggest a cosworth air filter. Quote
Lacky Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 I put Berk HFC on mine as soon as I got it. Sounds the nuts. Seemed to quieten down after getting coked up, or I just went deaf. 1 Quote

HAMLNJ Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 I have just thought of the same idea. Videos on line are limited. Anyone fancy putting something up? Stock plus decat? Quote

To be honest mate, I don't think you should be driving whilst on coke Tis a good combination of exhaust parts for a noise improvement, some people think it's a bit raspy but I'd say it's great Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk 1 Quote
HAMLNJ Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Im going to try it, for the Money I think it's worth a go. 1 Quote
sipar69 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Dim question maybe but are decat pipes the same as HFCs? Quote
GMballistic Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Dim question maybe but are decat pipes the same as HFCs? No there not ~ De-cat pipes are basically just straight through pipes thus removing all Catalytic converters from the exhaust system.HFC's are "High Flow Catalytic converters" with improved flow rates over the standard Catalytic converters.

Cool - thanks for clarifying. Do decat pipes create any issues with emissions for the MOT etc and would they be louder than HFCs? I'd quite like to give the Nismo a bit more of a growl but without going over the top so just thinking about the options...... Edited January 7, 2014 by sipar69 Quote
HARMLU Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Decats will fail mot due emissions. A good high flow cat shouldn't Certainly the de cat will make your exhaust louder, HFC I would guess will also make your exhaust louder but not as much. Quote

I'd quite like to give the Nismo a bit more of a growl but without going over the top so just thinking about the options...... That's quite alright. I'd get HFC's if I was you. Not all that expensive, will make it a bit noisier and should be no problems come MOT time although it is usually recommended that you give the car a bit of a drive before the MOT just to get the Cats warmed up nicely & working at there best. Love my Berks HFC's on my 350Z ~ bet they'd sound great on a 370 too. 1 Quote
RDON Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) I just bought some berks off tarmac for my HR and was thinking of waiting until I have saved enough to get the y section and back cobra system but now reading some of the posts I don't l know if I can wait lol!!!!!!!

MITZ@CougarStore Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 We fitted the Berks with Full Cobra before Christmas to a members Zed, it sounded superb, let us know if we can help... Quote
RDON Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 well I was going to contact them as they are near me to see if they can do me some custom ends? Quote

HAMLNJ Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Got silenced decats on the way for my birthday. Hopefully fitting them next week. Stock exhaust. Fingers crossed it will sound good. Mot good until July. My mechanic is happy to swap back over for. 1 Quote
