    Definitely in the top 5 most informative and comprehensive DIY mod guides I’ve ever seen. And it’s so mid-2000s to boot. Awesome job man I hope you found success in wherever you ended up since this

      You're welcome. It's definitely a more advanced install but at least you know what to expect. If you have rust set aside some more time and patience. Good luck!

  • @tobythesandwich
    @tobythesandwich 12 років тому +1

    Just posting another comment. I should add that when you reinstall the O2 sensors you should use copper grease on the threads to keep it from rusting too hard in place and to help prevent any (albeit tiny) exhaust leaks. It could throw off your O2 readings.

    The sound keeps getting better and better too. So much more fun to drive around town.

    I raised my car only in the front left and front right with jack. Held up by 2 jack stands. Just enough room to work I'm 160lbs though. Bolts were hard as shit to take off. But after they came off your good and install of new berk cats are easy. I had help From my dad when it came to getting stock cats loose from engine bay view. No CEL check engine light so that's great. Car revs a lot happier and you can notice the difference in throttle response at low revs and top end. Great product. 03 350

    I love my BERK HFC's. I'm glad I chose them my first time around, because a lot of things on my car I'm revamping due to not doing enough research on what I wanted before I did it lol. The Berk HFC's though I got right the first time.

    • @AutoHowTV
      @AutoHowTV  8 років тому

      +topgun779 I hear you on that. I had to return a set of HFCs from a well-known Nissan brand. Berk just had a better design and more thought put into the product. Live and learn! That's the story of modding.

    I actually need to replace that T bone bracket mount on on my 2010 FX35... its rusty and makes a rattling noise... luckily, that part is not expensive and i can do it myself. 0:45 thanks for this video!

  • @johnboy5632
    @johnboy5632 4 роки тому

    Awesome Video man!! even now in 2020. I'm thinking about getting these Berk Hi-flo cats for my 08 Infiniti g37, along with new Y-pipes and new exhaust system. I had to replace one of my o2 sensors recently, so I'll make sure to mention to my mechanic Not to use an impact drill, which I hope he already knows how to do that. Thanks again for the upload! 👍🏽

  • @AutoHowTV
    @AutoHowTV  15 років тому

    Yeah, the hp gains were surprising. In some ways the gritty, race-car like sound is fun. The only real problem I have is the Z finds a lot of excuses to rattle or buzz. A loose panel in the trunk, some stones stuck in the heat shields, etc. No matter which exhaust combo the VQs are just exotic :)

  • @alfadriver87
    @alfadriver87 11 років тому +1

    haha, you make this look easy. I did this and the bolts were so tight on the cat that my swivel joint and two extensions were cracked trying to remove the bolts. Also, the passenger side does not need the intake removed to break all the bolts loose...however it is impossible to remove the drivers side top bolts without going in from the top of the engine.

  • @bennett4881
    @bennett4881 3 роки тому +1

    Please reply! (important question)
    In 2021, preparing to do this on VQ37 Q50. I see that the stud coming out of the header manifold (of the three flange holes) are located at the top of the flange on the side facing the engine. What doesn't seem clear in this video is whether or not you had another person grip the bolt head or nut on the opposite side from which you were loosening with your ratchet. Wouldn't it be true that in order to loosen one side, you need to grip the other? Your video makes it out as if you did this single handedly, simply loosening the bolt head from one side of the flange, making it come loose. I just don't see how this is possible without another helper first securing the nut (or bolt head) on the other side before you can loosen and remove the bolt (or nut). I will likely be doing this solo, so clarification on this particular aspect of this install would be more than helpful, infact, imperative.. 🙏

  • @vincentvalentine9417
    @vincentvalentine9417 6 років тому

    Good god. I am so happy I found this video. Nissan quoted me at $1200 and if those bolts come off as easy as you made it look I may be able to do this.

    • @AutoHowTV
      @AutoHowTV  6 років тому

      In a lot of this video you're watching a Nissan technician help me out and I hope your install goes just as smoothly now that you've seen it done. I did have the benefit of a lower mileage car at the time. If you live in an area that experiences a lot of rust be careful about bolts breaking, etc. If you have someone to lend a hand along with those tools like the universal joint and the crazy-long extensions it is certainly doable. Any other questions just reply here or message me.

    • @vincentvalentine9417
      @vincentvalentine9417 6 років тому

      I freakin owe you dude.
      I had to do my driver side due to a code of the o2 sensor. My car is a 2004 g35 coupe. The exhaust is identical to this with a few exceptions. For one mine was bolts and studs. So even when you removed the bolts you still had the studs in there so in order to get it off I had to pry it off. Also, my bolts were facing different directions from yours in the vid. Either way thank you so much.

    • @AutoHowTV

    I have a 2005 350z but I believe the guy i bought it of straight piped it, it sounds fookin brutal and when i let go of the gas it back fired like, pops but sounds awesome, i want to keep the performance but also want to pass the emissions test, so would Berk HFC guarantee a pass. I have been told as long as the car has been warmed up it will pass. Any suggestions, btw I'm from the UK and our govt is crazy about emissions lol

    • @AutoHowTV
      @AutoHowTV  6 років тому +1

      Thanks for the question - I cannot personally guarantee it will pass emissions where you live though. Feel free to reach out to Berk HFC directly and they can give a better answer. I hope it works out well for you!

  • @iamthatyeti2715

  • @faYte0607
    @faYte0607 15 років тому

    And some HP increase too might I add! Haha, congratulations on the new mod. From the other videos of the Nismo exhaust and Berk HFC combo, it seems like there is a slight "metallic" rasp present though.. That's what's keeping me away from doing this combo. I owned the Nismo exhaust too but switched to a GReddy TI-C single.

  • @youngmin47
    @youngmin47 12 років тому

    I assume more than half of the people who watched this video and actually thinking of doing this job probably do not have a hoist at home.
    And this makes so much difficult to get those 3 upper bolts out especially if your car's been driven over winter...
    My advise is to get some PB blaster and spray it on the rusted bolts/nuts before doing any work.

    @mirc225 Sorry I haven't checked comments in a while. I am sure you figured something else out by now but you would do one of three things. Get an original one for your car (dealer or parts place), find one that is similar at a parts place, or use some kind of exhaust gasket maker (along the lines of RTV silicone but hi-temp)

  • @carbug2002
    @carbug2002 8 років тому

    I installed invidia HFCs on my VQ35hr FX35. They sound great and all but they are sort of stinky. Did you get that with yours as well? Or if my car is running rich (not tuned BTW) could that be adding to the smell?

    • @AutoHowTV
      @AutoHowTV  8 років тому

      I don't remember a bad smell. It could be some type of coating or oil burning off the new parts. If it persists I would have it checked out - or look for soot to see if it is running too rich.

    • @carbug2002
      @carbug2002 8 років тому

      It just smells like exhaust... like a classic car... Not as bad as test pipes for example, but it is easy to tell that its not OEM... Have you had that as well?

    • @AutoHowTV
      @AutoHowTV  8 років тому

      Now that I go over my notes, one of the reasons I went with Berk was because of the substrate, which they claim flows well but doesn't have that "test pipe smell." Certain HFCs will smell more than others depending on the internals of the cats.

    • @carbug2002
      @carbug2002 8 років тому

      +AutoHowTV Ah I see. I also may be running rich as I get excessive backfire and I have Stillen Gen 3 intakes as well. I guess I'll just deal with them. Thanks!

      The O2 sensor sockets are designed to help avoid the check engine light (CEL) issues you may see with others. I did not have any issues. It's still possible but these seem to be the best bet to avoid any CEL.

    • @AutoHowTV
      @AutoHowTV  9 років тому

      Ipoohbaby2 There could be a situation where the car is out of tune or running too rich. An air leak after the air sensor could do that resulting in too much fuel clogging the catalytic converter. Oil leak is another possibility but the vacuum leak is most likely part of the problem...any updates?

      +aidan I am more familiar with the 350 and 370 setups but it should be a similar install for the G35. For CA emissions you would need to check with whichever company you decided to go with. They should also have their own written instructions which you can compare to this video to get a sense for any small differences.

    What size are the bolts holding the cat?

    Am I missing something here? There is no way 1 guy could do this.
    If there is a bolt / nut and you have to use a extensions in the engine bay to break loose the bolt.....who is holding the nut.
    Same goes for installing.
    I am curious because I am looking to do this to my G.

      Good question. At 2:54 you'll see that the OEM cats have studs built in so you don't need to hold anything on the other side to break them from engine bay. At 6:25 you'll see that installing the new ones does require two wrenches but can be done from under car at that point. The extensions and universal joint are key for this job.

    Dumb question. How will these sound with stock exhaust?
