Yes I did. Erik was stand up guy so I am pretty sure they took care of it. I am about to give one more shot near future.

Yes, it seems we had a small batch issue. Of course, both people who had issues have voiced their concerns in this thread

That being said, both customers were given refunds including shipping. Other than those two, we had one misplaced O2 sensor bung on an Evo 9. No other customer reported any other issues with our bolt ons in 2011 AFAIK.

We stand behind our stuff 100%. Any issue that has ever come up has been dealt with to the customer's satisfaction.

And, in case anyone cares, we can get the 200 cell units as well and custom make one for the same price as the 100 cell units. That price includes the bung on Evo 9 units

I can't comment about a dual muffler setup versus a HFC in terms of sound, but I can say that from a testpipe to my Berk HFC it's a pretty significant difference. It went from my friends complaining: "Holy ****, your car is loud." to: "Dang, your exhaust sounds awesome." It's still obviously aftermaket but just to the point of aggressive and throaty- perfect for a daily driver. Never been hassled about my exhaust and my commute is mostly suburban driving, where I pass about 3-4 cops a day. The cops around my area are fairly strict about obnoxious exhausts. I live in a neighborhood full of middle aged families who love to complain about minimal problems, and for the 6 months I've has my exhaust setup installed with my Berk HFC, I've only received one complaint from an elderly couple, which was well deserved.

Thanks Redevokid! did you notice any loss in power or longer spoolups when you went to the HFC? thanks

Nothing noticeable power/spool wise that I can pick up on from test pipe to HFC. I'd assume the difference in horsepower gained from test pipe to any name brand high flow cat is negligible unless you're running a larger turbo setup.

anyone know which of these is quieter, roughly the same, etc? Considering either one of these or even just 3" flanges bolted to the stock cat. Just want something quieter than what I have now, which is a 6" muffler in its place

Our 100 cell cats are quieter than a test pipe but a smidge louder than the OEM cat. Have no idea how it would compare to a 6" muffler.

Thanks - sent you a PM a few days ago, def interested either in the 100 cell or 200 cell - seems a little pricey though.. are the mil.spec cats the same length as the OEM cat? just trying to get perfect fitment. Thanks.

And... it passed VA emissions today.
