Hey everyone,

I'm setting up a group buy for Berk Tech Downpipes. As many of you may already know, these DP's are the best ones out there for 3SGTE engines. I'll break down the discounts below:

5 or more - 10% off MSRP & free shipping ¹,²
10 or more - 15% off MSRP & free shipping ¹,²
15 or more - 20% off MSRP & free shipping ¹,²
20 or more - 30% off MSRP & free shipping ¹,<sup>2

1</sup>Free shipping only applies to the 48 states. AK, HI, PR, Canada and international are higher.
²Prices are in USD and are subject to tax (8.75%)

If you need to, please inquire about international shipping quotes before you add yourself to the list.
Berk tech shipping estimates:
UK - $62
Hawaii, USA - $17
Okinawa, Japan - $63
APO (army post office) - $15-26
Canada - $35 (USPS)
New Zealand -$75

Full 3" Downpipe w/ Integrated Flex Section. NO MORE CRACKING DOWNPIPES. Hands down the best downpipe on the market! GEN 2/3 3SGTE MOTORS! Also available in black ceramic coated stainless. Ceramic coatings help keep exhaust engergy (heat) inside the exhaust pipe to help spool the turbo instead of heating up your engine bay.

• Full Bellmouthed Wastegate section. Large bellmouth portion never before seen on the MR2. Allows full actuation of the wastegate flapper and extremely low backpressure on the turbine wheel. Flows BETTER than divorced wastegate setups.
• Integrated stainless steel braided and interlock lined flex section to ELIMINATE cracking problems associated with 3SGTE downpipes. Another MR2 first by Berk Technology.
• Full 304 stainless steel piping & flanges.
• Thick walled 0.065” 304 SS tubing.
• This downpipe will OUTFLOW and OUTPERFORM any and all 2.5” downpipes. No if’s ands or buts. This has been tested by us and competing manufacturers and we have both come to the same conclusions. 3.00” is always better than 2.5”. PERIOD.
• Includes gasket, 304 stainless downpipe support bracket, & nuts/bolts.
• World class quality and fitment that you’ve come to expect from Berk

[presure2]

for those of you who dont know, this is the best 3" downpipe on the market for the ct based turbos. it has the largest bellmouth, best transition, and has the built in flex to prevent cracking.
