To those with the Berk Intake
Do you know the part # for the K&N filter that came with it? My filter is dirty and would rather get a new one than clean it. Why o why did I get the Berk

Is there another type of filter that would perform better. It seems the only reason to get the K&N is to be able to re-clean it. I am worried about over oiling it and getting the oil on my maf. Any other options?

I am pretty sure that you can use any K&N filter with a 3" opening, aside from the ru-2820. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Other option is an Apexi, but it needs a different mounting bracket right? And it's crazy expensive.

Do you actually know the part # for the Apexi, and is it a direct fit with the Berk?

Is your K&N filter trashed pretty bad or are you just lazy??
A cleaning kit will only cost you about $10 and an hour of your time.
Just wondering............
Seems like people must love to throw their money away around here. I feel like I'm the only one on a budget!!

Thanks Majestic =)
MadMax,
A few reasons why. It's very dirty and needs cleaning/replacement badly. I do have the cleaning kit but still want a second filter since cleaning it would require downtime of at least a day for it to dry. I use my car everyday so I can't have be without it. I don't want to rush the cleaning/drying/re-oiling process since our MAFS seem to be very sensitive.
Having 2 filters would allow me to install the new one and clean/oil the old one and let it sit in a plastic bag till needed.

however, it doesn't matter what gear you're in...the HP measurement at the wheels is for that particular gear and is pretty representative of what you'd get in each gear. i have a recent dyno in both 2nd and 3rd gear and the curve is the same but the numbers are off only +/- 5hp and tq.
even though 3rd is the closest to 1:1, there is still the final drive ratio and the wheel/tire diameters to account for...so the 1:1 transmission gear on a wheel dyno is no more accurate than the other gears
