Installed my Berk CBE on Friday with a buddy who drives an S2k...
Everything out of the box was fine, including how it looked while packed in the box. No huge holes or pieces all over the place while in side it.
I took off my NISMO exhaust in about an hour and then aligned the Berk on the ground and had no issues there either.
The gaskets for this guy were great; Nice and hefty, leaving little room for the chance of having an exhaust leak.
The Berk went on fairly "headache," free, other than some mild aligning with the muffler to it's connecting pipes (which I'm pretty sure I even had to do when I previously put the NISMO). I had no issues connecting it to my Berk HFC's, either.
Upon start-up, first there was this
then this,
and finally this,
The first thing my S2K buddy said, "ohhh, now I see why you wanted this exhaust... Can I drive it? I wanna hear the this thing synchro-rev match!"
On Saturday, I went on a run up the local mountain (Mt. Lemon), that was being organized by some Honda friends and it was nice being the only V-6 out there and sounding bad-***, while getting the "wtf" looks and "is that the stock exhaust? it looks stock... Damn, sounds nice!"
It was a very gratifying weekend, in all, I must say!
