Berk CBE Help

I can confirm that Berk changed the Tip design of the exhaust. My Berk CBE that I installed a few weeks ago also came with adjustable tips just as the OP posted. My tips stick out past the bumper as well. I was planning to adjust them at some point, it doesnt bother me too much as is honestly.

Do you have a pic of how far they stick out past the bumper?

godammit I just bought Berks and definitely don't want them sticking out. From the looks of yours there is not enough pipe to shorten to what I would consider acceptable. I should probably return them before I open the box. And this after waiting 3 weeks just for them to ship.

What the hell was Berk thinking in doing such a thing?!!! They took a perfectly good product and messed it all up with those fuggly adjustable tips.

Like the old saying goes "Don't try and fix something that ain't broke!"

I totally agree with Dembflyr...I'm glad I got the original Berk....cuz if I was in the market for an exhaust now, it would be a cold day in hell before I would even consider buying this new version

I have the Berk; I installed it in August last year. I had a minor fitment issue in that the right tip was too far in and both tail pipes were slightly misaligned. Berk sent me a spacer to fix the right pipe and I used a 2x4 inserted into each tail pipe to make te final adjustment (up and down/left and right).

I am with Bolio when he says if they had the goofy adjustable tips, I would have not purchased it. I know that they have wrestled sith fitment issues, but this adjustable tip thing seems very jerry-rigged to me.

Anyway, mine fits perfectly and this is just my 2 cents worth. Take this post and $2.50 and you can get yourself a coffee at Starbucks.

Here's a picture:
