Feeler: Berk to produce Quad Tip Race/Street Exhaust

Hey guys, I emailed Berk Technology about the possibility of designing a quad tip exhaust (either in their race or street version) for the e82. I got a quick response from Bryan and he said if there is demand for it, they would be up for producing it!

For simplicity, I suggested they design the exhaust to fit up to a quad diffuser that's already out there such as 3D Design or iCarbon.

I imagine if Berk created the exhaust it would be sold for around the $1k mark. Bryan said it would also add about 10lbs of weight.

Post your comments and suggestion below and I'll direct Berk over to this thread. Thanks!

Fucking great. Just purchased their catback sport and now you post this. Well I guess my exhaust will be up for sale if this is the case. I know I would buy it as long as their is a very attractive group buy pricing. And to be honest this system should not cost more than $100 over their existing systems. I hope this time around they get rid of the chrome tips and use a muffler that does not bass-fuck your ears with drone.

I wouldn't sweat it. Things like this take time so I doubt if Berk was to produce a quad exhaust that it would be made available until months from now. You do make a good point about the group buy though...perhaps I can organize a group buy of 10+ people with deposits that would get things kick started.

That brings the question to the rear diffuser...which one do you guys want to see this exhaust made for? All I know of right now is iCarbon and 3D Designs. The iCarbon is much cheaper.

I don't get why you can't design a muffler delete quad exhaust. There is a logical "y" point to split the pipe just after the axle and suspesion. Use a smaller diameter pipe on the shorter driver's side and a larger on the passenger side to equal out pressure. Use Berk's muffler delete design as the overall premise......It seems pretty simple......what am I missing....You're not getting major power with any cat-back design, so let it flow for sound and looks.....just my 2c's worth..
