Where the heck to buy the Berk intake?

I've been looking at a bunch of online stores to buy the Berk intake but none of them carry it. Where can I pick one up at? I've been hearing good things about them on this board.

PM Bryan aka cobymoby, he is a rep for Berk Technologies and frequents this forum pretty much everyday.

And here is their website.

As long as you follow the instructions, you shouldn't trip the SES light. I was $hittin my panties about installing the Berk, what with the 5th Gen MAF problems with A/M intakes, but all went well. The car growls, and since I already have the Catt Ypipe/Berk Intake combo, I can tell you it sounds awesome, and it really scoots up top. Good luck w/your install man.

No MAF issues here and my Berk has been on for just under a year now.

What is the best choice for best power and torque, the Berk intake or the Place Racing CAI?

A CAI is the best for power. berk or frankencar give the same for a WAI. INJEN is NOT a CAI

That's debatable...

See this old thread... http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....hreadid=195391

See above thread... there is at least one more like that in the FAQs under Intakes as well...

Another good article on intakes.... http://www.sportcompactonly.com/kid-...ke-systems.asp

Btw, there will also be many who say that intakes make no difference whatsoever... they only sound good....

So you have to be the judge of that, since its a mod for YOUR car...
