More delays (Berk)

Justin1686

Even with all of this delay bs, I called Berk today and placed an order for the HFC's AND exhaust system. I spoke to Brian who was extremely nice and informative on the phone. He outright told me that there could be a 2-4 month wait for the exhaust, and if i was looking for something to get within a month, that this exhaust system might not be for me.

I told him i was alright with this, and still placed the order. So it looks like July best case scenario, and Sept worst case.

Despite their issues with updating in the past, this is one thing that I can say that Bryan is good at...Telling you like it is...I too spoke to him the other day and asked whether he could give me a 100% guarantee that the exhaust was going to be in by July...His response was "I can't tell you that because if I did then I would be only telling you what you want to hear." He then told me about the issues regarding the sample having been off on alignment, and that if this problem is fixed and addressed properly by his supplier than July will more than likely happen.

Although I didn't get a 100% guarantee, I really appreciated his honesty...It does suck a lot to wait and go through all this, but I have noticed that Berks has improved in their response time with updates...Within the past three days that I sent emails, I received quick responses from them or Mike Bonnani...and they're just telling it like it is...It sounds like they're trying to improve on their communication issues with their customers which despite all of these past problems deserves a

Hopefully all these issues that they're going through will be resolved in the future for the next customers who choose to go with Berk...After all, like the saying goes "What makes a man better is a man who realizes his mistakes and learns from it."

off to Berks for being real and not lying...

I called about a week ago. Nothing solid. I was told that they are going to be doing the final fitment on an actual car rather than a jig. If all goes well they would begin shipping them out.
I don't know who I talked to but I got the impression that he wasn't even sure about the info he was giving me. At first he said that it would be 8 weeks. I said that puts it into August. He then made the comment about doing the final fitment on the car and that if all goes well we should start to see them being shipped in July.
So it's a definite maybe.

i have not heard (didnt expect to) from them, and i dont wanna call, cause the less i think about it, the less the wait is. I know once/if i make a call, the wait is going to feel like FOREVERRRRR. its been a month so far for me, and it hasnt felt like it.

LMFAO!!!! Oh well, I took Matt's advice and just haven't really been thinking about it...As he said, the time seems to be flyin by....I guess we'll chime in more towards the end of June as it nears towards the early part of July...

Until then..."We'll Be Dancing, We'll Be Dancing" -

I want to get the Berk exhaust. However, I've been following all of the Berk threads that I found on the forum, and it seems like they all have the same theme; delays, delays, and more delays. I actually spoke to them a couple of time last week and was told that the timeline is about 90 days. From what I've read from these posts it seems like it might be more like 180 days. For those of you on the forum who already received your Berk exhaust, I'm curious to know how long it took for delivery. I don't mind the wait, but I need the exhaust by September.

It seems like most of the people on the forum either have Stillen or FI. I think that Berk sounds the best. I have not heard any CBE close to it. All of you have been waiting patiently and impatiently. Makes me feel like it might be worth the wait.

I only ordered mine about 2 months ago and am growing increasingly impatient. I realized this is nothing in comparison to others in the first group buy. If this goes past July I'm cancelling my order and going with FI from Tony.

I got in on the second group buy. That was January 28th when I put my deposit down. It is now JUNE 11th and there is no definite end in sight. I think it will be worth the wait in the end!

Is this delay set only with the exhaust? I'm interested in getting the HFC, but don't want to wait forever if I order it.

Wow... The only way this would be worth the wait for me is if it were steeply steeply discounted for the inconvenience. I have to agree with Craniac on this one, sounds like a ticking bomb.

I happen to agree with craniac as well... I don't see this ending well at all. :/
