berk Technology V3 3" Downpipe, just arrived! Options

[presure2]

hey guys.
just got the new Berk Technology V3 3" downpipe.
Bryan is an Awesome guy, who 100% stands behind his product.
i currently have the berk tech V1, which i had a problem with.
it cracked on me, and once i emailed bryan, he sent out a replacement right away.
for some reason, the DP he sent did not fit as well as the first ( it hit my AC lines). so, he agreed to pay for the cost of having the original pipe fixed, while i used the poor fitting one in the meantime.
once it was repaired, i sent back the 2nd DP, and he payed for the repair.
it cost 45$ to fix the pipe, and i paid for an additional hr (another 45$) for the welder to repolish the pipe.
i asked bryan to cover only the 45$ for welding, and he insisted on paying for everything.
after a while, the DP started cracking again.
i once again emailed him, and he told me he would send me ANOTHER DP or, i could wait for his new DP to be released.
so i told him, i'd wait, and man, was it worth it.
he sent me this, FREE OF CHARGE.
damn, if only the whole world was like this.









yes, that is a flex pipe build right into it. this thing is awesome.

this is the inside of the flex section:


its also welded along the inner seams of the flanges:


im hoping ill have a chance to install it this weekend, if not, it will prolly be a few weeks before i get it in, the CSP meet is next weekend.
bryan has a GB running on these over on mr2oc.com, im not sure if they are available on his website www.berktechnology.com yet.
he was running a pre-production gb @ ~150$
then he is going to have a normal GB @ ~ 200$
then the normal price after that will be 250$
ill let you know how it fits and works on the 5sfte soon!

Awesome Manny. I can't wait for mine

thats some high quality down pipe.
love it.

[WannabeGT4]

I'm getting one too. I was just hoping some one with AC in a 6th gen would get theirs on first so that I know if it's going to clear. Hopefully I can still get in on the $150 price by then. If not, no big deal it's worth every bit of $200.

its 304 stainless, dan.
im not sure how thick it is.
just from visual inspection, it definetly looks better than the V1.

I may be going to NY this Saturday, I'll know tomorrow guy. If not, I'm there getting that in no matter what.

I'm ordering mine tomorrow.

[jcaron9gt4]

let me just say, i saw this thing in person last night, and it is a beast. I know i'll be getting one as soon as i save up some money for my exhaust to get done.

looks awesome... i love that DP

[presure2]

ok guys, so we got it installed a couple weekends ago, with the help of jeff and dustin, with a couple minor hiccups.
first, the new dp touches my a/c lines. its not so tight that i cant fit it, but it does rest against one of the flanges for the line.
i could have just bent the line a tiny bit, and prolly actually will, now that im thinking about it..lmao

the DP is also slightly off from the V1 pipe.
not a problem with smaller exhausts i would assume, but with the 3" it makes the B pipe rattle against the subframe now and then.
if your having your exhaust made after the DP install, it wont be a problem at all.

even with them small issues, i still like the pipe overall, i think the flex section is a great thing.
here are a few more pics.

glad you got it on there. too bad its got a few minor issues, but you still cant beat it for the price.

yea..for your typical 3s owner, i dont think there would be any issues at all.
its a great pipe for the price.

[WALKER]

Sounds great. I got mine on the way. I don't think I should have issues since I am having my exhaust made after this DP install!

[super13jew]

is going to hurt your a/c?

[presure2]

is going to hurt your a/c?

no, im just gonna bend the line a little.
