Nice

For most east coast folks, that's like crossing two states the distance between you and I. LOL

Looks like you got lucky with your set. Before my Berks, I had the Arks as well and the fitment wasn't good period. The bolts were too narrow and had to be drilled so that I could even bolt the thing up. And the bolt pattern was in a way where there was no mistaking which side is the right side. The two pipes also were not symmetrical and after many tries could not get the pipes to sit right. The left canister would hang much lower than the right.

I agree the sound is really nice though.

Really looks nice! Sorry you had a douche bag for a mechanic.

I'm no mechanic, but even I learned on my only exhaust installation, that you have to put it together, THEN tighten it all down...check for leaks etc etc....

Not sure what happened there.

Yeah, I'm sorry, too. Well, won't be going there again!

Sorry to hear that. How long ago did you purchase yours? I did read that in the beginning, they had fitment issues. Everything is resolved, now, pretty much. Buyers just need to be aware that before tightening all the bolts, aligned all the pipes first! lol
