Depending on your mods... Berk is one of the best (if not the best) intake available for a Maxima.

lol this summer i will look into headers though...

The car was just way too silent before... atleast now it's showing some signs of life...

Not bad for mods in one week... considering i've owned the car for 1 month... lol

Installed the TWM shift adapter yesterday... along with the FSTB, and the berk intake today...

And now... I have no money for a couple months... lol

I got one in the works. So far I got the midpipe done and even made a MAF to Apex-i filter adapter plate. Going to make a heat shield and use a brake duct to bring air from where I used to have the PRCAI.

They don't make them anymore... VERY rare to find them. Only counting intakes you can buy fairly easily.

I am selling mine. just bought it few months ago with Apexii filter got only 4k on it. car takes too much gas with intake i realised after having it for few months. the gas prices are high so my berk intake must gotta go.

What d you guys think about the Apex vs K&N? I'm not interested in trading out MAF's every other month, but I've never had a problem with a K&N before. How sensitive is the MAF?

I had the reverse, but can't really blame it on the GAB. MAF down with the GAB, now I have the Berk w/ Apexi and 01 MAF, no problems, but a CEL. I love my Berk, and have more faith with filtration with the Apexi.

Newbie Question..

You have to change the MAF when you get the Berk Intake ?

No it's not necessary unless you damage your MAF in the process of installing it.

I had a berk intake w/apexi filter, now I have a PR CAI and just swapped the monsterflow filter (which is for sale once I clean/re-oil it) that came with it for a K&N RX-2820 and my current setup is my favorite. I have replaced 0 MAFs and I have the original MAF that came with the car, the 2820 not the stronger AM600. The K&n with the PR CAI is as loud as the berk w/apexi but my car feels more responsive with it than any of the other set-ups. K&N > *
