i am in the process of putting my stock intake back in so i can take it to the stealership. anybody have a pic of the stock intake on a 5.5 gen id really appreciate it.

 

do you have the instructions that came with your berk? if so, just follow them backwards.

 

its like 5 bolts jon lol

 

haha i was stuck on the rubber seal. but i figured it out lol. well the car is DEFINETLY more responsive 0-30 mph is a bit quicker..and now its so silent but maybe too silent..i think my MAF is going on this car too..when i replaced it in my 2k the engine sounded TOTALLY different at WOT after i put the MAF in. If i take it to the dealership and tell them i think its bad..w/o an SES do you think they may replace it? Ill ask to drive a 5.5 with less miles and see the difference. i hope they replace it i got a quote on a 2k1 MAF with my discount at work its 180....regularly 250.XX so yea i rele hope they do this.

 

R U saying there's more throttle response and better perf. 0-30 with the origional intake?

 

yes, that is completely true, you loose low end torque with a short ram or cai, and you maybe gain 1hp top end, your better off going with the stock airbox or the GAB if you wanna kepp your power, but we all wanna hear that throaty v6 so we sacrafice a little low end for the growl

 

but our cars have so much low end torque anyways i think its a little better to move it up to the higher end... maybe lose a tiny bit of wheel hop and yeah you get that nice growl

 

1 hp top end??
