2. nope, I have read and researched. I did not say there were NO performance gains, just that they are 'so called' since much of intake gain could easily be offset by ambient conditions and driver skill. I mean the average of .2 sec over a 1/4 mile (reaching the mid to high 90 mph zone) is hardly a real world daily driver gain to me
3. absolutely not! Some of us just like understated performance. For instance, I would really like a 540 but would hate a loud one.
You go ahead and enjoy the intake, to each his own...

HulaMAX: I don't know what kind it is, I got it during the GD that Russ had going a while back. Here are the pics:

Sure I'll sell my intake. It's in gr8 shape since I hardly had on my car.

As one to vote for "the other side", my intake is now installed. I bought the Place Racing CAI from custommaxima.com and installed it Saturday. There is DEFINITELY a difference between the stock and the CAI. The engine has come alive, and the power increase was more than noticable. No MAF/ECU/SEC problems yet.

That's a very low end intake. If you want one just like that I can sell you one for $35.

No wonder it seems like such a good deal at the time.
What makes this cone any less than the other intakes out there? just curious.

Thanks cobymoby, but no thanks. I was just asking Gr8bone what kind of intake he had so I know which one to stay away from since he had so many problems with a MAF going bad.

I just got my $55 Berk intake yesterday. I installed it at lunch today. It only took about 20 minutes to install. I know nothing about engines, but how much easier does it get. I was prepared to take it out if I didn't like the sound. One reason that I bought the Max was because of it's quiet breathtaking performance. The new intake is every bit as quiet as stock when driving the car normal. When you let loose it gives a nice sounding low growl, but it's definately not intrusive or loud by any means. Like I mentioned before, I was ready to take it off if it had a loud sound. My only question is how long it will take for the computer to recalculate the air flow? I noticed an ever so slight gain, one being more responsive and less hesitation while the rpm's climb.

Just got off the phone with Fedex, again, it's still open. They said I should find out within a few days.

Oh, any word on the center cap? Or should I just try a local speed shop?

just curious, is there more MAF failures on manuals than autos? maybe there is a pattern here.
I just got my Berk a month ago, already put 2000 miles on it, works great, my MPG went up
i dont know what others are talking about
more air that can get in means more O2 to combust with the fuel= better MPG and more HP
sure if you roll around with your foot pinned to the floor you might have some gas mileage issues with a stock vs upgraded intake. but my normal highway driving is getting me about 30 more miles to the tank full.
