Pretty cool, I asked berk 3 weeks ago for washers and gaskets. I believe I may get it this coming week.

I feel a substantial difference.

You're one of the fortunate ones...Guess who ever was taking care of shipping your package took good care of it....Berk put out an announcement that all the misalignment on the exhausts were caused through the shipping...poor packaging I guess...They announced that this was what caused the hold up for the second group of customers that were supposed to receive their exhaust in April....Curious to see what type of improvements they made with their packaging

A very small percentage of customers reported fitment issues with the Berk CBE. One of the more popular CBE brands sold on these forums had WAY more issues at release, and have since fixed their issues.

^^^ An announcement made by BERK stated that they had several reported issues regarding misaligment which through the cooperation and correlation of several customers they were able to identify that this problem was caused by bent hangers...They were able to determine that the hangers were bent due to the packaging of the exhaust and the way it was handled during its shipments....

This is just what I heard from BERK as to the reason of the delay for the April shipping...If you are right...then that's good news to hear....

^^^ Let's hope it can make it to Guam!

I ordered mine today from Brian at Berk. Forgot to ask him if shipping issues were worked upon. I already had a tab break on my headlights when shipping out to MRWorks, but they were real champs and fixed it for me. I don't need any more issues.

ChrisSlicks · 04-12-2010, 06:57 PM

Berk stepped it up on shipping, the later shipments were well packed and didn't have issues.

[QUOTE=370Zsteve;483401]Sorry folks, no pre-mod baseline on this dyno.

Results: 294 rwhp 236 Ft-Lb torque

Chart is here:

Is this the only mod you have on the car ?

Also in regards to the shipping problems being early; I don't know what the deal with that was but I was #2 on the list and mine was packed the way they all should have been. Don't know why I lucked out like that but I'm not complaining either !
