Which Will Be A Better Hfc/performance Wise - Stillen, Berk Or Fi

I'm still debating which to get.
I've checked FI & Berk and cost came down to
FI - $ 650 / HFC & installation - Cash only
Berk - $ 685 ~ $725 / HFC & Installation - Cash only

What would be better option to go for performance & Quality?
Any suggestion?

Once I decide by next week, I'll sure include before & after dyno.

I have no doubt that FI is good product but I need more info on
performance wise. If I want to put money, it's for good cause not for
only sound wise.

I actually spoke to Tony at FI & Lou at Amplified and I do believe
FI has better quality finish than Berk by looking at photos but I never see FI Dyno result. I have alot of Berk's dyno and praises.
I wonder FI has independent dyno result??

80% of people that have HFC, usually get the BERKs.

Either way you go its a great choice!

shouldnt be more than a 1-2 hp difference between FI and BERK

choosing either products?

yes, FI is a little more expensive for sure but installation charge is way
cheaper compare to Berk's. FI install their product but Berk doesn't.
I had to use independent installer who charge $180 ~ $225 where
FI or others charge $ 120 ~ $135 the most. but these #s don't bother
me as long as I get better performance.

Get whichever is cheaper. I have the Berk and I love them but the FI HFC are the same thing. Sorry FI people but they are. They both use the same part. The FI I hear has another bracket but I am not sure if it does or why it would be needed. Stillen is the same but it is suppose to be a 3inch pipe compared to 2.5 like the Berk and FI.
