Berk Cat-Back Exhaust GB #2!!!

cmmonte92 · 07-11-2010, 12:48 PM

Wow guys...

That sucks...

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.

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!

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

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

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.
