"Gauging interest": Berk Tech 3" midpipe, approved by Presure2 Options

[nammer]

As some of you already know, we had a successful group buy for Berk Tech 3" downpipes a few months ago with 34 orders (Click to see that GB)

I'm working with Bryan at Berk Tech to see if there is enough interest for a 3" midpipe. Nothing is set in stone yet but the price on it will be in the ball park of $300-400 MSRP. If we have enough orders, I will turn this thread into a group buy thread but for now, put down your username if you would be interested in this if it came into production. I will double check how many order we will need for this to go through.

Ask relevant questions and I will get answers in a timely manner. Thanks!

People should be aware that they can get an entire 3" exhaust for About $400US - good fitment, not coated in any way. It's a Motoria product, sold by XS Power. It's not listed on their site at the moment, now that I go back and look, but I'm sure that just because they don't sell many. They can probably still get it. 3-400$ is a lot for just a midpipe. Hell, I'll shortly have the resources to just weld up the exhaust at home, not that I would expect it to look pretty.

Not hating on the gb, just being realistic.

Its about £300 in the UK for a full 3" system but it's very loud.
One thing I want to know though is that with the xs ones, are the flexi section interchangeable and in separate in the same place as the stock system?

I just received my Berk down pipe and was "deeply" disappointed.
I sent them an email of complaint and doubt I'll be joining this GB if they don't improve.

Tara, your right that you may be able to get a custom job for that price or better. I just see this as an opportunity to have more available aftermarket parts for our 6gc community. More choices to choose from the better.

Ray, thats too bad that you were disappointed with the downpipe. I hope they will resolve the issue in a timely manner in your favor. Let me know if I can help facilitate this process if needed.

They will need an st205 to look under and seeing as they are very rare in the US, this might be a bit challenging since fitment needs to be precise in order for this to work. We'll just have to see how this all pans out.
