berk satisfaction

installed my berk intake today (used a different size k&n that barely fits) but i gotta say great instructions, easy install took about half an hour, and man what a great sound. Quiet at regular driving and at wot i thought i had a g35. Cant wait to get the evo in there and hear that combo! thanx to cobymoby on a good product.

I had the Berk and K&N combo for 3 months prior to getting my Cattman exhaust. You'll be quite happy once you do some exhaust upgrades as well.

Yes the y-pipe gives you a deeper sound than a cat-back exhaust will. I had both installed on my max, and eventually took out the cat-back because it got so annoying.

honestly i wasnt paying attention to the low end, if anything there is barely a difference, however at high end it feels like a bit more pull. The sound at wot is awesome, getting the evo in tommorow.
