BERK Catback Exhaust System installs/reviews

I'm going to try to bend the hanger. If not, I'm going to contact the vendor/Berk and see what else I can do. It's such an eyesore.

I emailed Berk a week ago, but haven't heard anything back from them at all yet.

I am going to try again or to phone them on Monday to see what they say.

I may just take it to a local shop and have'em heat up and bend the hanger.

I'm biased on the Berk. See my review in this thread. It sounds really good. No rasp or drone. The exhaust makes a note not a sound. lol. Not to mention, it looks great too.

G/L with your decision.

I didn't order direct from them, no, but it was shipped direct. I'm wondering if something happened during shipping, but I doubt it. The box wasn't too damaged when I got it though.

Did you get the exhaust with the Round or Oval Tips. I've heard of this problem before as it seemed to happen with the Oval tips. Since they went with the Round Tips, believe Berk made adjustments and this is an issue of the past.

Either way, I would call Berk direct on Monday and see what they have to say/will do for you.

Good luck. Let us know your outcome.

I emailed berk months ago, never heard back...they must not be too up on their emails...I wanted to know if there was a difference in the muffler section between the round and oval tips, I would purchase a muffler section with the round tips if it was close in price to buying the round tips and having them welded on...I REALLY want to change the tips, but I got the exhaust used, and could not pass it up, love the sound, love the round tips, my exhaust looks too stock with the oval tips. I had to do some tweaking to mine.
