U sir r a life savor thanks!
Don't forget, after the Cel has been fixed and reset, you may have to put 50-100miles on your car to allow the ECU to stop cycling looking for a Cel. It's already been mentioned how to tell if this has been completed .GL
hey do you remember what size anit-fouler you bought? I really dont have the tools to take out my o2 sensor so I can take it out and take it to autozone for size measuring.

I have heard two stories locally of berk cats with a weird rattle. Is this the same issue?
what you heard locally maybe different than my issue or it could be the same. i dont want to jeopardize Berk Techonology. i am here for my own issue and experiences i've had for the past 5-6 months.

Bryan at Berk said he was going to give me 30% off for a new CAT but i needed to know how to put the order in with the discount so i emailed him but never got a reply.

this video is 1 of 4 i recorded which i sent to Bryan for a review. We came to a conclusion that the catalyst core was loose.

Best bet is to just call. With many aftermarket companies that I've dealt with, they get so many emails it is literally impossible to sort or answer all of them; it would take up their entire day not allowing them to actually do any work.

if i remember correctly, think there is a 2 year warranty on the hfc. mine started rattling shorty after 2 years and been rattling ever since.

Is it not ok for other people to ask about a similar issue in your thread?
i apologize if i came off in a selfish way. my intend were to not put myself in a position where i could jeopardize Berk Technology by affirming conclusions stated by your locals. i just wanted to share my issues with all of you. by all means please share issues as much as you/everyone else like =)
totally understandable br0 Just wondering cause im looking at the 63 hfc.

sorry this might be a little off topic, but I recently picked up a used berk 70mm HFC and as far as the exterior appearance the cat looked good. However, when i put the cat up side down I can hear that there are some play for the core to move around in the pipe. (i.e when holding it vertically, by shaking, I can hear that the core will more up and down not by alot of coz as it is being restricted by the size of the pipe). Is this normal? or I have just purchased a rattling HFC?

any help would be appreciated.
