any updates on the last few for this group buy?

any updates?

When did you place your order? I had ordered mine on the first week of March and was told April...April came and was told May...I just called Berk earlier this week and spoke to Bryan...he said that they (Berks) haven't receive confirmation from their suppliers as to the ETA for the materials/parts that they need for the exhaust...Bryan stated that although they haven't received a confirmation, it takes about two weeks to get from their supplier to California...Once it arrives in California then it has to be inspected and cleared by Customs, and then it will be released to Berks for another two weeks for the tips, final adjustments, and fitment...From there it will be packaged and shipped...

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:ugh2:

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...:wtf2: 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

Update emails have been sent out. If you did not get a copy and you have an order pending with us, please let me know.

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.:hello:

i haven't got any email or pm

I haven't received any notices also.

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?

I have not received an email or any info about updates. I don't mind the wait, but please update us if there are further delays. I really don't like to send multiple pms.

No email here either.

So pretty much no one has received an email yet?

Just got one today. July it is..... maybe.

Me too...Just got an email...For those who haven't received one, let me know and I will forward a their responses...Like Dembfly mentioned it sounds like July...but who knows....two options are being offered to cusmoters because of the wait...

I am still waiting to here from the OP or BERK about my order. I understand that it is delayed but I need to know the final value. I am supposed to get a military discount. then they are talking about $100 gift certificates. I need to hear something. This is getting crazy! I am about to give up on this entire order!:shakes head:

I really feel you man...I say :tiphat: to everyone that's in this situation...I too am waiting for a reply via email that I sent them regarding their two options...I really don't care for that $100.00 gift certificate...Would rather that they refund me a $100.00...If I don't receive an email by this morning, then I will call them direct....This always seems to work, even though it costs me $$$ to call Berks long distance.

Well I finally got some kind words from Bryan at Berk. Everything sounds good accept I really wish they would just apply that gift certificate to the exhaust. They wont do it so I have been trying to find something I could buy from Vivid. No luck yet. Not to mention they wont ship to military APO's either.

This is going to be a long wait.......................

I hate to be the devil's advocate, but there are plenty of places that wont ship to APO's - thats nothing new. Why should they change their policy just for you?

I have been stationed in Germany for 3 1/2 years, you don't think I know that.:icon14:

I never expected them to change their policy, I am simply stating that they don't ship to APO address's.

They actually looked into shipping the exhaust but they were concerned with the post office bending a tip.

You may know, sure - but with the way you are presenting your argument, other non-military perusing the thread may assume, "OMG, they wont ship to an APO for someone in the military?! WHAT IS THIS?! HOW DARE THEY!!"

Anyway.............. how do you like your Berk exhaust? Is it gonna be worth the wait for all of us?

IMHO? Yup.

Any rasp at all? drone at highway speeds?

Nope, none at all. Its perfect. Just search on youtube for Berk 370Z - someone posted some videos of theirs.

I did a while back. i cant now that I am in Iraq. It was hard to tell if it has rasp and drone over the internet. Thanks for the heads up though. I will have to patiently wait to get mine. Hopefully before the new year! :tup:

I hope we don't have to listen to you gripe for the next 2 months. No offense, but it's getting old, man.

ZERO rasp.

ZERO drone.

Sounds like a Maserati (no lie)

You can tell everyone else that is waiting to quit griping, cause I will be patiently waiting for mine! :tiphat:

Do you have stock cats?

Say Holliday...did they say why they won't apply the Gift Certifcate to the exhaust? Just wondering...

This is what they said:

" We cannot apply the Vivid Racing gift certificate on your order as this is not a product credit but a gift certificate to another store. "

Yup. Stock cats sound incredible with this exhaust. I really don't think I would ever get high-flow cats, especially after hearing all the gripes about "hiss/rasp" etc.

Good luck, it will be in your hands before you know it. Hey, I spent a lot of time in Heidelberg, how is Ramstein these days?

Ramstein is alright. I am just tired of being in Germany after almost 4 years. I am ready to get back stateside. The cold weather a rain take about 5 years off of your life span! haha:rofl2:

*scratch that, looks like you're a crew chief...*

Instead of a gift certificate, can berk just install my cats and exhaust?

Well, I have a feeling the gift cert's they are handing out are coming from the company they outsourced the exhaust production to. So, they aren't really making anything at all on them...

In other words, no lol. And seeing as the cats themselves are probably 2-ish hours of labor minimum, and labor to install goes from 75-100 bucks an hour....

Hmmm...That doesn't make any sense at all...Unless they are doing what Mightbobo is proposing and Vivid Racing is part of their outsourcing in regards to production...

Guess I'm gonna have to try and figure out what I can order from Vivid Racing...Couldn't seem to find any oil coolers the last time that I was on their site..Hopefully they'll get some between now and the time that I get my exhaust
