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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sounds like we all had a big whole in the side of the box. Glad your exhaust arrived OK and you received all the correct parts. At least I made you look

Any word from Berk?

In an attempt to end this thread and focus on the legit Berk threads, my exhaust was installed today withy no issues, everything lines up perfectly. OP's issue is with UPS and their disregard for the products that keep them in business.

Yeah Steve, Berk sent him two driver's side resonators. Berk is still on the hook.
