Berk Cat-Back Exhaust GB #2!!!

g96818 · 03-09-2010, 03:39 PM

mine came with a big hole in the box where i suspect the bolts and gaskets were placed. is it possible to get replacements?

g96818 · 03-09-2010, 03:42 PM

hole, don't know what was in that bag

That bag is where another bag is, which is sealed and has all the gaskets & nuts/bolts plus some stickers.
If you cannot find them, I would contact Berk and show them that picture and request replacement parts.

Gotta love UPS. I will have them send out new bolts/gaskets to you today.

Yeah, I had a rather large hole in mine also, and UPS delivered to my neighbor (again). I wonder if the tips are getting pushed around in the packaging plus UPS just throwing (per say) the box around.

You would think an 85lb. massive box would be hard to toss around, but leave it to the boys in brown I suppose.

I agree, but I think trucks are still using two guys per which helps them just toss things around.

I am confused as to how this is happening, but I am determined to figure it out. During the time we were making and sending out this first batch of exhausts, we randomly test fit three of the systems on a bone stock 370Z that we have here in our shop. All of them fit perfectly straight out of the jig.

M.Bonanni called earlier to let us know about these alignment problems. I test fit another one here in the shop straight out of the jig and here are the photos...

These were taken about 10 minutes ago. I would like to take a look at one of the systems that is reporting crooked tips. Are there any in SoCal with the same issue? If so, please PM me so I can arrange a way to take a look.

thx mike, mike from berks pm'd me also about replacements.
the box didn't feel that heavy when i picked it up, it felt closer to 50 lbs, but i didn't actually weigh it.

just tilt your head to the right and its straight!!

rednek01 · 03-09-2010, 04:38 PM

I am wondering if the muffler hangers are getting bent slightly during shipping or something judging by how the boxes look and the fact that they seem to show different degrees of being crooked and there are some who have no complaints right? I don't think Dreamers was as far off as The Weapons is. but it could be the angle we are looking at them.

However they all seem to be slanted to the same side...

g96818 · 03-09-2010, 04:52 PM

i'm gonna tackle this as soon as i get my replacement bolts and gaskets that ups lost. Thx Mike for sending out the replacement

Yup, those look perfect!

I get UPS deliveries every day to my house, it's amazing the abuse I see daily. Fedex is no better. I can only say to berk that I hope you use a pantload of packing materials around the pipes so that they don't move around during shipping. Styrofoam is your friend.

I also believe that Weapon is the only one who has posted fitment issues so far, it's not multiple people or did I miss something?
