Look what came in the mail today!

FDfranklin · 01-28-2011, 11:31 AM

n55 jb3!

and also on order:

Berk Race Exhaust.

Just thought I would share. I will do a review of both products with videos once they are installed.

On a side note if anyone in the area wants to help me install the jb3 I will reward them with a case of beer of their choice

I am not too great when it comes do doing stuff under the hood so any help is appreciated. I'm looking to put it in this weekend so let me know. Thanks!

JimmyT · 01-28-2011, 01:22 PM

Its super simple bro. Won't even take you 10 minutes from hood up to hood close. Just make sure you have a 8mm socket.

If you have any question feel free to send me a pm

Sweet! I think you will be very happy with the exhaust!

Swadeness · 01-28-2011, 09:40 PM

Nice! Looking forward to hearing that exhaust on an N55. Have you done any dyno or 1/4 mi runs so you have a baseline before you install the goodies? I think this is going to make me the only stock 135 left in the Tampa area

. I don't even have my windows tinted yet. I got to get off my ass and get some mods of my own.

Thanks, I can't wait to hear it either. No baseline unfortunately but I definitely want to hit up some 1/4 mi but never have anyone to go with.

If any of you local guys want to come check out the install and just hang out let me know ill probably be doing it around 2 today. Shoot me a pm. I live on dale mabry and gandy.

PM sent. If you need someone to go I am always down to go to the dragstrip if I am not working. I'm sure some of the other guys on here would be down to go if we plan far enough ahead.

FDfranklin · 01-29-2011, 05:49 PM

Got the jb3 on today, thanks to swadeness for helping out it was good meeting you.

I only did one drive so far after installation and you could literally feel the difference, throttle response was much better the turbo was noticeably louder and you could feel the power even though I had 2 extra passengers lol Ill do a better review and some videos next weekend for sure.

It really wasn't too hard, had some trouble getting my fat fingers in some spots though.

We also weren't sure how the cord into the ecu box was supposed to get in there and close it but we eventually figured it out lol

Hoping I can take it to the 1/4 mile sometime next month to see what it is capable of.

1on135_deal · 01-29-2011, 06:09 PM

Good news my man....im waiting for my jb3 to come it was supposed to arrive monday, but I never got it

Just to let you know I currently have the afe scoops, drop-in and the full berk technology sport exhaust it is awesome....it took about a month and half to fully break in, beautiful not to much...just a very nice tone. The quality fit and finish was perfect. I put it on my myself 45 min install. also saved 30lbs.....and somewhere on here there is a dyno of the exhaust it was 17 whp 19lbs tq...or something like that....
