More delays (Berk)

Dembflyr · 06-09-2010, 01:42 PM

I called about a week ago. Nothing solid. I was told that they are going to be doing the final fitment on an actual car rather than a jig. If all goes well they would begin shipping them out.
I don't know who I talked to but I got the impression that he wasn't even sure about the info he was giving me. At first he said that it would be 8 weeks. I said that puts it into August. He then made the comment about doing the final fitment on the car and that if all goes well we should start to see them being shipped in July.
So it's a definite maybe.

i have not heard (didnt expect to) from them, and i dont wanna call, cause the less i think about it, the less the wait is. I know once/if i make a call, the wait is going to feel like FOREVERRRRR. its been a month so far for me, and it hasnt felt like it.

LMFAO!!!! Oh well, I took Matt's advice and just haven't really been thinking about it...As he said, the time seems to be flyin by....I guess we'll chime in more towards the end of June as it nears towards the early part of July...

Until then..."We'll Be Dancing, We'll Be Dancing" -

I want to get the Berk exhaust. However, I've been following all of the Berk threads that I found on the forum, and it seems like they all have the same theme; delays, delays, and more delays. I actually spoke to them a couple of time last week and was told that the timeline is about 90 days. From what I've read from these posts it seems like it might be more like 180 days. For those of you on the forum who already received your Berk exhaust, I'm curious to know how long it took for delivery. I don't mind the wait, but I need the exhaust by September.

It seems like most of the people on the forum either have Stillen or FI. I think that Berk sounds the best. I have not heard any CBE close to it. All of you have been waiting patiently and impatiently. Makes me feel like it might be worth the wait.

I only ordered mine about 2 months ago and am growing increasingly impatient. I realized this is nothing in comparison to others in the first group buy. If this goes past July I'm cancelling my order and going with FI from Tony.

The lines of communication are always open with F.I.

Being based overseas myself. I found it to be the most important factor in my decision.

Don't get me wrong, If we lived in a perfect exhaust world I would of gone for a more stock looking exhaust like the berk. Only because of the way the cops act in my state.

I don't mean to knock berk. I also don't mean to live in the past. However after the first group buy, I have no conferdence in the shipping and quality control in relation to the cat-back system.

Once again being based overseas, with a weaker dollar to the U.S and high priced shipping costs in general. I found it to much of a risk to ship down under based off berks track record to date.

Hi EVL370,

Just wondering where you got the FI exhaust installed in Melbourne.

Thanks Mate.

Cheers,
