Berk Street Exhaust vs aFe vs ???
Looking to get an axle back exhaust for my 135i. Currently the car has Procede, AR Down Pipes, Custom FMIC and BMS Intakes. I am interested in what people feel is a great option for this car as a Axle Back. I have been leaning towards the Berk but before I pull the trigger I want to be sure. I know this will open the flood gates for opinions but hey they do count for something. Lemme know what y'all think!
Thanks |

I'll say it a million times though... Berk all the way, great product, excellent price (PM David@EAS), and amazing customer service. To top it all, they actively participate and contribute to the forums. On top of that, they successfully run their 135i in time attack events all over the west coast. "Track tested, dyno proven" is more than just a gimmicky catch phrase for them.

Im not trying to beat a dead horse I looked on here and read all the reviews and comparisons and they were not what I was looking for. You dont see much about Berk in reviews elsewhere, but everything I have read loves them and I have seen them in the magazines and on here they are certainly out there in the public eye and I like that too...
You mention customer service that means a TON!! Its such a pain to buy some ebay upgrade or massive parts warehouse part and have them say sorry cant help you... grrr Thanks guys Ill be a Berk man soon... |

Berk
I just got my Berk full sport exhaust put on yesterday. I can't get out of the damn car now. It sounds so much better and the sound finally 'matches' the performance of the car.
Im big into home cinema and its always important that your sound match the picture and vica versa. You can't have a 110" DLP projected image with some out-of-the box home theater system/speakers. The picture will lose its 'punch' because the sound can't live up to the picture. Think about going into an IMAX theater and listening to the soundtrack on an old AM transistor radio. Entire experience is ruined. Thats about how I feel with the 135. I had a car that would murder the pavement but sounded like a Buick. Not anymore. I still think the JB3/JB4 is the best bang for the buck as far as my mods go, but man on the way home from the shop yesterday I told my wife "best 900 bux I ever spent!" Just want to thank Berk for a great exhaust, David at EAS for hooking me up with a great deal/fast shipping and Jonathan at Toy Barn in Columbus for my exhaust and suspension work. |

Thats awesome!! I want the full sport exhaust but my gf drives the car and I dont think she needs and/or will tollerate the midpipe. I can always get it later if it just isnt loud enough

Those are great HP gains from just a bolt on! Our car is sooo awesome. On a side note I have a friend with an Evo VIII who always told me it was 330hp when he got it and blah blah well he just did cams, cam gears, turbo manifold, injectors, full 3 inch catless straight pipe with screamer pipe off the waste gate (sooo loud) and some other stuff and then went to get it tuned and Dyno'd and it was 298whp... not even 300 yet - they had to safe tune it bc the turbo wasnt big enough. Well I guess now its capable of more but what I am saying is this is where we start and quickly go past 400whp with a tuner. N54 is amazing!!
