Why do people still order this exhaust....lol.... like only a handful got shipped out once.

Berk is a prick tease I guess. The ones they sent out I liked, and I came damned close to buying one, but didn't want wait the 4 weeks for me to get it, so I went with ARK. I'm glad I did what I did cause the 4 weeks turned into 4 months

The Berk CBE sounds sooo much better than the FI :stirthepot:

Prolly from Berk. The HFCs always seem to be in-stock.

The exhaust doesn't need the kick from the HFC's. I'm just looking for max powah

:icon18:

His still waiting! :stirthepot:

Trip...lol


That's too funny!!!

LMAO Trip... +1

TripZ, you be....trollin'!
 

Good come back Trip...The photo really matches the scenario that we're going through...It was good to get a laugh out of this thread...Especially since we have all had nothing but bad news since our orders!

:tup:

Wow guys...

That sucks... :shakes head:

I can't believe it's taking this long! I got mine back in March and just barely made the cut-off to get it delivered at that time. If I hadn't come up with the full amount for the deposit, I'd still be waiting on this cbe like everyone else.


:icon14:

Well, for those of you still waiting (and willing to continue waiting, that is...), keep re-playing the video's to remind you of how awesome this cbe sounds. I am still in love with it and even after my new stereo install, I still love to drop the windows, turn down the tunes, and romp-on-it, just to hear it scream on down the road!


:rock:

Thanks for the words of encouragement...I really don't doubt it....I had the chance to listen to it in person when I went out to Hawaii and hooked up with one of the Hawaii guys on the forum...It was sweet music to my ears...It really reassured me that I made the right choice on the exhaust..I can safely speak on eveyone's behalf that we will all be happy once this is over and can finally hear the exhaust notes of the Berks on our cars everyday instead of listening to all the youtube vids :rofl2:

July 12th

Still no orders shipped? Lemme guess...."end of July"?

Anyone else from the first shipments get a $100 gift solicitation from Ant?

No gift certificate offers, no answers when they will ship, no nothin:shakes head:

Still patiently waiting though ;)

Well if the info that Bolio got was correct then we had better see some of these ship this week.

hmmm when are we going to receive an official reply from berk? I've haven't had any physical communication from either Mike or Berk since I put a down payment.

I mean its great that forum members are giving updates and all, but I'd like to hear something official from either Berk or Mike to let us know what exactly is going on, time tables, and how this process will work as far as receiving our orders.

Hi Guys, we don't frequent the forums much these days, I didn't realize that we had an angry mob outside our window! You guys are perfectly in the right to be frustrated, upset, and a little PO'ed at me. I feel you, understand you, and completely take responsibility for OUR own actions.

The whole reasons behind the wait times are production delays. We are not mass producing these systems to ensure that we can control the quality under our own roof. Each tweak requires almost whole new re-draw in CAD, new NC programing of the bender, and physical modification of the welding fixtures. Which all takes time since they are done in a serial process.

The exhaust assemblies are en-route to me now and a truck will arrive at our shop with all of your pipes very soon. The final weldment takes place in house and if any of you remember from last time we were able to complete 4-5 exhausts per day. The exhausts ship in the order of receipt but expect us to get it all done within 5-7 days.

The $100 gift certificates are our good faith gesture to you guys that have waited so patiently for us. You all have been very good and it is our way of saying thank you for sticking it through with us. You guys as a group have been some one of the most patient and gracious bunch despite the delays. For those of you venting here I understand and will take the blame for this.

There is light at the end of the tunnel and we are nearing the end of our long journey guys! We are also readily available by phone if you have any other specific questions.

Best Regards,
Bryan

Holy Sh$t!:eek:

BERK!?!?

YOU LIVE!!!

I have asked about the gift certificates and Vivid has been trying to get in touch with you to get it figured out. Can you please get them diveed out to us!?!?

Bryan, props for coming on the site! You are going to have a great product very soon, I think if you are able to bring the customer service up you will have a great selling CBE!

Looking forward to seeing some of these exhausts being installed and what kind of wait times you will have once everything gets going.:tup:

Holliday - I spoke with them earlier this week and Mike is working it out with them. Thanks for the heads up.

And I must say, this is as funny as hell even though it directed at me! :bowrofl:

It's aliiiiive!
 

Damn! You guys need to understand the value of marketing through social media. It's wonderful...if you participate. Otherwise, it's deadly to your business and your reputation. See your competition (Stillen, Fast Intentions) for details!

:iagree:

Its great to hear from your Berk...Does this mean that you haven't received the exhuast yet...Last time we spoke, you said that the exhausts were en route from your supplier...From what I'm reading, the update you are giving is the same info that I got from you on the phone on June 30th....

Could you please post up how many exhuasts you have ordered and a listing of the order of how the exhausts will ship out...I beleive that I sent this request to you twice via email and also PM on the forum....This will help all of us here have an understanding of who ordered when and what fashion we can expect to see the exhausts go out the door...Similar to Tony from FI's method...

It would also be great to have an actual ETA.... Your response of

really doesn't give us an answer of an when we can start seeing these exhausts go out the door and arrive on or doorsteps....

:iagree:

Gift certificates?!?!:eekdance:

It's funny to think of what Berk's reputation would be like if they would have included an honest update once every 2 weeks or so throughout this process. It can't be that hard to spend 5 minutes on here explaining what's going on. It's not like there are 5 different 370z sites you have to post the info on, like in the case of the 350z.

:iagree: TOTALLY!!!!!


We are all curious to know how many exhausts were actually ordered and the order in which they will be shipped out! I would've figured with everything that has been posted on this thread that they would've gotten on top of their game.....

So where's my exhaust?

Really? I mean come on Berk!

I have a feeling that they will miss yet another estimate.

:mad:

July is out of the question it looks like. I know I am second on the list to get mine. I want to pay in full but for some strange reason I don't feel comfortable :ugh2:

same here 4th on the list cant pay full until i know when imma get the cbe......

Thats funny, when I placed my order they said that the only option was to pay in full.

Have they put out a list or have you guys just called and asked?

I was on Group Buy #2. You must have ordered full price???

Nope. I got in on the group buy as well.

Did you pay Mike or Berk? Hope you know who has your money:ugh2:

Ha ha. I paid Berk directly. But that doesn't make me feel any better.

Maybe they forgot they make exhausts.....lol
