BERK Catback Exhaust System installs/reviews

Dembflyr · 08-13-2010, 05:27 PM

I stopped by UPS on my way home and picked up my exhaust today. I am so excited but I will have to wait to install it. My car is at the dealer waiting for a new transmission.

But here are some pictures of how it was packaged and the system laid out on my garage floor.
I took these pick with my phone so sorry about the quality. If I had a nice camera they would be better.
Not surprised to see a hole in the box. I opened it up right there in the parking lot to check for damage. Even though the box had some holes in it the exhaust was fine. There are a few very small scratches on the mufflers but the tips are perfect. Over all I am very happy with the packaging.

I don't think it'll fit.

I removed a TON of paper just to get to this point

It held up pretty good to the abuse UPS threw at it

Plenty of room.

I checked it over real well before I left UPS. Even though the box had a few holes in it the exhaust did not suffer for it.

NICE!!

This just looks GOOD!

I'm pretty sure everything is here.

I have NO idea what these are for and I hope nothing important was in that box.

So far I am very happy with the exhaust. The quality is obvious. The welds are gorgeous. I cant wait to get it on the car. I am supposed to get my car back on Tuesday or Wednesday. If that is the case then it'll be a Wednesday install for sure.
I will update this post with install pics.

Glad to here you like the sound. I can't wait to get mine!

Or you can just create an album on here and link it up that way.

What are the diameters of the oval tips? Or better yet does anyone have a picture of this with a Nismo rear bumper?

Holliday · 08-13-2010, 05:37 PM

Very nice pics! those welds are really nice! Good luck with the install. I hope you find out where those pieces go

Get with Matt (Forum member)...He's the only one that I can recall that has this exhaust on his Nismo

BOLIO 671 · 08-15-2010, 02:55 AM

It's great and reassuring to hear and see that everyone is getting the exhausts on their door steps/installed...I am still patiently waiting...Although I was one of the first guys that were shipped off, I am out in the pacific...My exhaust was delivered by Berks to my shipper in Carson on August 6th but did not leave California until August 10th...It is currently being shipped and will port on August 24th or 25th...Wouldn't be surpised if Holiday gets his before me...

Looking forward to some Vids from you all...Berks is one of the exhaust systems that have a limited amount of Vids up

BOLIO 671 · 08-15-2010, 03:01 AM

Yo Dave!!! Great pics...When I saw the box lined up behind the Saturn I was wondering how in the hell you were gonna get that box to fit in it...I guess the box won't fit in the Z then....

I know that the guys from the 1st GB were able to fit the box in their hatch...but this box looks a lot bigger...

I'm glad to hear that there was no damages to the exhast...That has got to be the biggest hole that I've seen on any of the boxes....

blastman5 · 08-15-2010, 06:44 AM

yea there was so much paper packed in there and other stuff that those things will take a lot of damage....i actually kept my box and all the paper that was in it and it is a perfect archery target because all that stuff that they pack in there stops the arrows...hahah...so i got an exhaust and a target
