I had the berk race exhaust (stock downpipes and midpipes), and it was loud enough to get me pulled over lol. Now I have catless downpipes, berk catless midpipes, and the berk sport axleback now, and it's honestly about the same volume as the race axleback was by itself, except it's a little easier to keep quiet when the rpms are down (guess the muffler makes the difference).

But I love Berk. If you're into racing, check out Berk's time attack 135i

And if you're going to mod your car for the track, Dinan gets pretty damn expensive. Their warranty is worth the money for some people, but I don't know if it still stands if you do anything other than street driving, same as BMW. I have a JB4 and meth and the dealership doesn't even know because I just take them out for the rare visit there.

Anyway, enjoy your car and the exhaust; and if you ever want to trade for their race exhaust I will gladly trade with you! ;-)

yeah I hear ya. I think I like the subtle note of mine.

lol yeah- i actually know bryan berk.. and pretty much all of berk technology. i raced in a lot of the same events as Carl Rydquist a few years back good guys for sure. I'm glad I got lucky to have exactly the exhaust I wanted to get on my 1er! :P

lol. right on! Follow me on instagram and facebook first lol (jkjk)

how loud is the race exhaust... you'intrigued me.

I am scoping out my next mods. I want either jb4 or dinan since i am still under warranty. no rush though, still enjoying her in her barely modded mode.
Go JB4....

Berk Race / MadDad Euro Street are both ridiculously loud, especially with catless downpipes. Trust me.

Oh, that's awesome! Didn't see that post til now. You're quite the accomplished racer, especially for being so young (then again, I'm 24... and I'm sure you could whoop my ass hah). I look forward to seeing what you do with the car!

And that's funny you ended up with the Berk exhaust. The people at berk are absolutely awesome. I wear my berk apparel everywhere to show support

Oh yeah, welcome to our fun little community!

I love my dinan setup, but cobb works out quite well for you, and is still not available for my 2012.

If you don't go cobb, go flash tune. Sorry jb4 lovers, but I just didn't feel like it was stock-smooth and I have zero patience for anything less. I've had plenty of luck with cobb on my subies and would have gone that way had cobb put out a 2012 AP.
