Give up on Berk? Go with Invidia?

First,I feel your pain about a short driving season. But, I would also say if Berk is what you want, then you might not be happy without anything else. That said, there are some great sounding exhausts out there, and Z owners are great about posting clips and reviews. I read/listened to many before choosing FI.

Re: FI, I really respected that Tony was up front about the delay between ordering and shipping. I would be frustrated, too, if I was given a date by any supplier and then had it moved.

Bottom line, it is a win-win for you. Either you wait for what you really want, or you get another great exhaust sooner.

Just my 2 cents.

It does not excuse the poor customer service provided by Berks, but this is the only reason why I have been willing to be patient and deal with all the delays...It sucks, but I can't see myself settling for something else....Especially after I had the experience of listening to Berks first hand...Hopefully Berks would improve of their customer service someday, so that others out there won't have to go through what people from the GB#1 and GB#2 have

I have been waiting since January. I also contemplated the Gemini exhaust. I have done a ton of research on exhaust systems and I am very picky after going threw a couple different ones on my G35. I know what I want and that is why I have stayed the course.

I know how you feel about winter approaching. It is August in Germany! Rains just about everyday. I know I won't have my exhaust before she goes into hibernation but that is even better. That way you don't have the anticipation about waiting. Then come next spring you will have a new exhaust!

You did get the memo about the $100 gift card being applied to the order now right? In the long run you will be better off waiting. Good luck with your decision.

Wait for F.I., it truly is worth the wait.

Give up on the Berk. Order the Stillen. You'll have it in 5 days.
