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 :drool:

then this, :leghump:

and finally this, :rock:

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!"

:icon17:

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 Z out there and sounding bad-a$$, 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! :tup:

How far were yours off? I may need 2 I think, at least - an additional one for between the HFC's and the Y-pipe, and another between the y-pipe and the extension to the passenger side of the muffler piece.

I easily yank the exhaust to the left and that centers it no problem, but as soon as I go driving it shifts back over again. Hmpf.

Yeah, there is no point trying to push the exhaust into position, the only way to align it is by bending the hangers. I'm not sure how well the gaskets will work but I'm pretty far off.

Very cool reviews so far from customers...Was wondering whether anyone els has some pics or vids up with the Berk's Exhaust...I recall hearing "TheDreamerz" sound clip...Would love to see some more pics and vids from others...

When did you place your order? I had ordered mine on the first week of March and was told April...April came and was told May...I just called Berk earlier this week and spoke to Bryan...he said that they (Berks) haven't receive confirmation from their suppliers as to the ETA for the materials/parts that they need for the exhaust...Bryan stated that although they haven't received a confirmation, it takes about two weeks to get from their supplier to California...Once it arrives in California then it has to be inspected and cleared by Customs, and then it will be released to Berks for another two weeks for the tips, final adjustments, and fitment...From there it will be packaged and shipped...

Also, although there is no confirmation from his shipper, Bryan said that he anticipates that he will be receiving the materials/parts from his supplier on the last week of May or first week of June...Maybe sooner...So based on what he said there really isn't any exact date set in place for when we are going to receive our exhausts...I heard that there were some people on this list that ordered since late February that still haven't received their exhaust yet...

I ordered mine the 28th of January. I am on the group buy #2 that was scheduled for April. I am still waiting for a reply back from Berk or the OP about my order status. I hope it is all worth it in the end, whenever that might be:ugh2:
