Berk HFC + Berk CBE ftw!

I still have the stock cats. Gave up on removing them after it destroyed 2 impact sockets and 2 bolt out sockets so I just tried installing the exhuast instead.

No, the flanges face in the proper direction. Looks to me like his HFC's are not cooperating with the install. I bet if he removes the pipes and bolts them together on the floor they will line up perfectly.

I did the floor layout after. Check my album for pics and how f'd up the alignment is

good luck with ur install

Get a 1/2 inch extension and go after them, thats about the only way we could figure out to break them lose and we still ended up breaking the bolt.

Wow that is really bad, apparently shipping to Hawaii didn't do it any favors.

Well, mine do line up OK (bolted it all together on the floor.) But man, this whole affair is getting more effed by the day.

Add me to this list. These poor guys (Berk) have suffered enough from UPS's disgraceful lack of regard for product of UPS's own customers.

I for one don't plan on using UPS for shipping any of my wife's large furniture items after this fiasco.

On another note, BERK X-PIPE INSTALLED, NO ISSUES, SOUND IS AS 370ZDUB SAYS "INTOXICATING". GREAT JOB BERK! :tiphat:

Sorry for shouting. Back to our regular programming.

Sounds even better, Steve :tiphat: thanks

^^ Finally, a clean install...haha. Even with all the bad rep BERK is getting lately with this exhaust, that still IS a fine looking system.....when installed correctly.
