Berk Exhaust Installation
 
Hey I just purchased a used Berk exhaust from a member on here recently. I was wondering what kind of gaskets and bolts I will need. And any tips on the installation would be great! thanks!

I think u can buy the gaskets from their website

but other members might know a cheaper place that sells them

can i just get any gasket form an exhaust shop? and the bolts that i will use, is it ok if they're not stainless steel( they might rust)?

Replied to your PM kinda late, but I would invest in getting quality gaskets...if you get the cheaper ones or OEM, doulbe up on them...Don't want to chance leaks..

As far as the bolts are concerned, I would invest in getting some stainless steel ones...You're right the one's you have will rust over time, especially since the exhaust is exposed under the carriage to the elements and dirt...

Are you only installing the CBE or are you doing the HFC's as well...If just CBE, its a breeze...start from the cats to the exhaust....I suggest lubbing all the bolts to make uninstalling easier on you....Also have a long screwdriver nearby underneath to help get the rubber braces out...

If you're gonna do the HFC's I definately suggest lubbinng the botls that connect the stock cats to the header...The two top bolts on the triangle flange (Header side) are a pain in the @$$ and are known by everyone here that's done an exhaust install as the "Demon Bolts." Don't let it stress you...It just takes proper lubing, tools and patience....You're gonna need extensions to unbolt the stock cats from the header...

Best of luck and Congrats!!!!:tup:

i finally got it installed after picking it up yesterday. i dropped it off at a shop to get installed. i was running around all morning looking for gaskets and bolts. most places (auto zone, pepboys, strauss auto, some exhaust shops etc etc) didn't have anything and finally found a place that had the gaskets and wanted $15 per gasket. so i just eff it and dropped it off at a shop which cost the same lol thanks for all the help BOLIO 671! the exhaust sounds AMAZING! took the long drive home :tup:
