I took off my NISMO exhaust in about an hour and then aligned the Berk on the ground and had no issues there either.

The gaskets for this guy were great; Nice and hefty, leaving little room for the chance of having an exhaust leak.

The Berk went on fairly "headache," free, other than some mild aligning with the muffler to it's connecting pipes (which I'm pretty sure I even had to do when I previously put the NISMO). I had no issues connecting it to my Berk HFC's, either.

Upon start-up, first there was this

then this,

and finally this,

The first thing my S2K buddy said, "ohhh, now I see why you wanted this exhaust... Can I drive it? I wanna hear the this thing synchro-rev match!"

On Saturday, I went on a run up the local mountain (Mt. Lemon), that was being organized by some Honda friends and it was nice being the only V-6 out there and sounding bad-***, while getting the "wtf" looks and "is that the stock exhaust? it looks stock... Damn, sounds nice!"

It was a very gratifying weekend, in all, I must say!

Great to Hear that everything went on and you had no issues!

Very cool reviews so far from customers...Was wondering whether anyone els has some pics or vids up with the Berk's Exhaust...I recall hearing "TheDreamerz" sound clip...Would love to see some more pics and vids from others...

Also, although there is no confirmation from his shipper, Bryan said that he anticipates that he will be receiving the materials/parts from his supplier on the last week of May or first week of June...Maybe sooner...So based on what he said there really isn't any exact date set in place for when we are going to receive our exhausts...I heard that there were some people on this list that ordered since late February that still haven't received their exhaust yet...

I ordered mine the 28th of January. I am on the group buy #2 that was scheduled for April. I am still waiting for a reply back from Berk or the OP about my order status. I hope it is all worth it in the end, whenever that might be

I have received all of the PMs from customers, just waiting for some more concrete info before I reply. Suppliers are a pain in the ***.

Cool...Then you are in the same group as me...as I was also told April...But you have been waiting a bit longer than I so I can only imagine how you're starting to feel....

Mike...it is good to hear from you...Some people say that I am too blunt, but in this situation, I am just saying what everyone else is thinking...which Is why before I go any further I want to say..Please do not take it the wrong way. A response from you or Berk is better than no response at all....A lot of guys here have been communicating with each other via PM as to updates based on phone calls that everyone has made to Berks ON THEIR OWN...Although it may suck to tell us things are delayed, the truth is better than no response at all...especially when things are out of your hands and its with your supplier...

I know that your supplier has a lot to do with the hold up in shipments, but I think its time for you guys to lay your foot down with them...Just as we are paying customers to Berk, you are also paying your supplier to meet the demands and products for the company...Most of us here would be cool about things if we were kept up to date with our status instead of us going out on on own to find out what is going on...It can become frustrating at times when we are left in the dark...

I know that you guys want to deliver a perfect or near perfect product, and I'm sure that you will and I won't be surprised when I receive my system, but its starting to seem like this is a repeat of the first order of shipments...Especially when you have some customers that are reaching the 6month waiting period for the exhaust...Its even more frustrating when you see others from the forum ordering from a competing company and they have received their products already, although we ordered from BERKS before them.....Some may say, if I feel this way I should've went with the other company, but my response to that is I chose to go with Berk because I want the Best...and not just the Best Product, but the Best overall in performance, communication, commitment, and customer service....

Please fight for us to get these exhausts systems out and keep us posted...we have invested in your company because of our confidence in the company's products and services...No Pun intended

I got a generic email from you. I am still waiting to see what my remaining balance is. I am the guy stationed in Germany. You can email me at kpholliday@hotmail.com. I have tried to get an answer from you and Mike.

I also have not received an email...but if its per our last discussion, then I pretty much know the deal already...Not unless you have received a confirmation ship date from your supplier?
