Today I got the last cbe from berk. Package looked good and everything looked undamaged. I did lay it out on the ground to make sure every piece lined up, which it did. Overall the cbe looked ok, there were some scratches but because it is underneath the car it didn't bother me too much.

I did the install alone and it took me about 3 hrs one hour of that was unbolting the stock cbe. The y pipe didn't exactly line up to the cats but luckily the material of the y pipe flexes with a lot of force. I wasn't able to torque some of the nuts like 2 on the cats because the flexible metal got in the way of my socket. I did tighten those nuts by hand. The tips didn't line up perfectly. Took a drive afterward and definitely better than the silent stock exhaust, no drone by the way.
