for pictures you just need a photobucket or similar account. Then you will have URL for the photo and be good to go!

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?

The tips are about 4 3/4" x 3 3/4"

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

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....

I looked online at videos before making my decision on what CBE to go with. This is my first mod. I liked the sound of the Berk exhaust because although it sounds 38589397% better, it isn't over the top loud and obnoxious like some others and almost looks stock, too. Smooth and subtle. I didn't do the install myself. I had it shipped to a muffler shop near my house. It took the guy about 1 hr to put on. It sounds WAY better than the stock exhaust did. I love it!

Sunday I took it for a 3 hour drive out to the countryside. My fuel economy has increased from 23.2 avg to 23.9 per the computer. I'm thinking it's a little high because of the highway driving I did a couple of days ago, but I've put on over 100 miles in the city since and it hasn't come down yet. Maybe the computer made some adjustments and although I'm back to city driving it's still that efficient? I don't know, I'll have to give a few more days. But if it's more efficient then I'm going to speculate that I've more power too...

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.

blastman5 · 08-15-2010, 06:44 AM
