yep i can definitely do that, was planning on it. just to ease for everyone that is a bit further. just if the damn UPS man would show...

Alright I received it finally, it is packed up really tight, but well packed with paper and bubble wrapped CBE for extra protection. ill post pictures in a few.

I have not dove through the box yet however it does seem almost double boxed.

here are some pictures

Berk Packaging

Dove through the box because it is massive and to get it out of the way, you can fit a couple flat pannel big screen tv's into it, with the exhaust out and nothing other then packing materials the box was about ~80-90% full. Only thing i found the i didn't quite agree with was the flex pipe portion on the x-pipe seemed like it was at the bottom of the box i should be fine, after all it is a flex pipe.

congrats 370degreesNY!

Mine came in too! I am having my friend repack it and get it shipped to me here in Germany! Time for some reviews!

Rob@BerkTech · 08-11-2010, 03:30 PM

We have about 3 left for ordering... so if you want it now and not in 2-3 months, give us a call or shoot me a PM! Doing specials if you're ordering with a set of HFCs or Test Pipes!

Well it is installed sounds amazing, Im just running the CBE @ the moment no other breather mods.

...

Installed it in about 2.5 hrs simple and straight forward.

@ lower RPM's it is very deep! and picks up quickly, im about to go for a longer drive and see how it is, in cabin is great but have someone else blip the throttle for you, it is quiet nice to stand behind and hear it open up. You dont get the full affect.

Also the g/f approves the exhaust, witch is always good!

Didn't notice an immediate pick up in power probably wont until it settles and breaks in and when the ECU adapts.

Rob@BerkTech · 08-11-2010, 07:14 PM

Glad you are happy and hope it was worth the wait! Post some pics!

Hey Rob got a question....Is the Berks exhaust requried to undergo a three hot/cool down cycle before you open it up? I was just wondering whether this applied to all exhaust systems...Was on the FI thread the other day and noticed that one of the members posted that they were instructed by Tony not to open up the exhaust until at least three hot/cold cycles have gone by with the exhaust....

...did some research on that thread and found an explaination from Tony @ FI who stated

"3 hot & cold cycles before hard driving. It will help prolong the internal packing of the mufflers, resonators and tips.

I know that the Berks and FI exhausts are two entirely different exhaust systems, but was wondering whether this applied to all exhausts....especially the Berks.

Awesome mine will be here Friday and hopefully will have it installed by Monday. Unfortunately no dyno time available for me locally.
