I did my install along with my brother. I already had Berk's HFC. Overall, the install was pretty easy. It took us little over an hour on the garage floor. True, the alignment is not perfect. I was a little disappointment by that. My alignment issues were no where near as bad as the previous pictured. We were able to move the pipes to align the bolt holes easily. But, once the complete system was bolted together, it was very solid and had ZERO clearance issues. The only complaint I have is that the driver's side tip does not center up as well as the passenger. It looks like the bend coming out of the muffler has too much of a bend in it. But, once off the jacks and back on the ground, you can't notice it. My box and packaging were in great shape. The positive is that the note is AWESOME!! OVERALL 9/10. Fix the alignment issues and you have 10/10.

No question this particular one was damaged (bent) in-transit.

Anyone here work for UPS? I'd love to show them these threads and get a response from the Brown-Doodoo

How did the exhaust install go, did you get the correct pipes?

where is BERK? its monday

exhaust is supposed to arrive this afternoon i have that and the differential yet to instal so i'll check the pipes when the box gets here and then it will have to wait on install until thursday got the intake, flywheel, sound system, oil cooler and the fluids other than the coolant (which since i'm going 80-20 and it doesn't stop freezing here until late april i'll have to wait on) all done and the wheels are off waiting to get the tires put on them.

Is it mainly guys that have had packages shipped vast distances that are getting them messed up?

Mine happened to be one of the exhausts that was packaged poorly but I think because mine didn't have very far to go it ended up being fine.

I hope you guys with bent pieces get this all straightened out, because once you do, you are going to love this system.

WOW shocker today package arrived with 1 3" hole in it and other than that in pretty good condition. I checked my parts out and I am ecstatic yet sorry to say that JB1 I do not have your other mid-pipe laid it out and everything lined right up and bolted together easily so it looks good so far will have to wait until thursday or so to actually put it on maybe later depending on when my last axle arrives from Z1. Box was packed great lots of paper and 2 layers of bubble wrap, and the bolt bag was taped to the muffler all of this done before last wednesday so they were on it.

Well they aren't exactly around much to begin with, so it's not surprising. I think someone 'ought to give them a call or PM them (or Mike if he's still acting as agent).

I sent them an e-mail on Saturday with the same info I posted here and I called them today to follow up. I was told they are looking into it and that I will have a reply by the end of the day.

Hopefully they fix it for you quickly.

I called and talked to Bryan, they have an ex-employee working here on oahu so he's gonna ask if the guy can take a look to see how bad it is.
