There's actually 2, Secret Service Auto(mustang dyno) and EngineLogics (DynoDynamics dyno). Both on the southwest side.

Find your local UPS depot in the phone book and go pick it up there. Don't have it re-routed, the more it is in the hands of others, the more damage will occur. Godspeed.

Awesome man. I bet that was a big surprise considering that they said that they were only shipping the first 5 at the time..

Hi B1nks

Just before you throw the box out could you please see if the shipped weight was on the box/paper work and the box measurements. Strange info but if you see my location weight and size add up to an expensive trip to Australia if this is the way I will go.

Thanks for your help and look forward to the forums comments on this CBE.

x 2 for weight for Australia!

oh man i hope mine shows up by monday i'm bring the car home saturday from storage to work on it before it warms up and i tooke monday off from work. got thursday off next week so i can go to my buddies b-day drinkathon and tare the differential off the car to start making the mounts before the quaife gets here. then a delrin tranny-mount to really shake things up and see what else i want to replace. Car should be a totally different animal for summer and this exhaust is the icing on the mother F'ing cake.

Hi B1nks

Thanks for the info mate.

roplusbee · 03-09-2010, 06:17 AM

I'll hit you up on a PM with my info, but I am not in a hurry. Take your time and get the BERKS installed first.

Unless EngineLogics has changed they do not do Uprev they said last time I was there, but maybe it is time to revist them.
For all those who are interested, the exhaust is on and more to come in my journal later today.

You poor aussies need more grassroots aftermarket parts developers! I cant imagine having to order all of my parts from overseas. APS and Tearstone is pretty much all you guys have!

I thought this seemed like an ok thread to place my initial reactions to my Berk CBE being installed.

1.) I've had toasters delivered to my house with better protection. Unlike the OP, I had no paper inbetween the pieces helping to "fill out" the box. I got a few pieces of bubble wrap around each piece, but not much other than that. It looks like someone spent an entire 5 minutes prepping this order for shipment. Luckily, even though the box was almost entirely destroyed during shipping, the exhaust appears to be free of any dents or dings....surprisingly.

2. Some other exhaust customers of other companies speak highly of the "welds" in the exhaust. I'm not an expert, but these welds do not appear to be top of the line. I'll take some pictures later, but it looks like a rush job with zero quality control.

3. I got a BERK poster of a BMW. WTF?

4. It fits in my car, even with my Zenclosures 12" box in the back! A little cramped, but I can make it to the exhaust shop just fine. Definitely a good thing!

Hopefully, this thing sounds amazing and my initial reaction will be forgotten. Right now, I'm pretty disappointed.

did u guys get nuts and bolts and gaskets? i had a gapping hole in my box and a big empty void in it, possibly where the nuts and bolts were placed?

i agree packing needs to be better, the edge of my muffler flange got minor damage during shipping, but thats probably what ripped the box open.

i didn't unwrap each part yet so i don't know what other damage(s) there might be

Gaskets/nuts/bolts/etc were in a baggy, but removed from their intended, protective bag.
