I just installed a berk intake on my 2k2 and I was wondering if I still needed the air inlet? Saw some pics of it still there, but others without. So, kind of confused on that aspect. One more thing, I noticed that when I am accelerating it sounds like there is a leak some where but it's only when the pedal is first pushed down. It's kind of like a mild hissing noise. I looked over and over and cant find the source of the noise. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. I'll take a pic of what it looks like, and it will be a little dirty, just for a heads up, but if you notice anything. Alright, thanks!

 

All intakes without sound deadening will make that sound. Some louder than others. It's normal.

 

Good to know. How exactly would I go about sound deadening the intake? And do you happen to know about the air inlet piece?

 

Here are some pics, overall, I am very pleased!





Sorry for the big pics, new to photobucket.

 

when i installed my Berk, i left the air inlet. it's really not going to do anything, i just convince myself it helps guide air to the filter.

you'll get used to the hissing noise. it's normal, unless the line you connected to the pipe is not on all the way.

 

Yeah everything is good, and it's not continuous. I will just convince myself as well about the air inlet. Thanks for the help!

 

the air scoop really doesnt do anything...i removed mine because it looks more clean

 

It all up to you bro, i left my scoop in when I installed My Berk Intake.......

 

My Injen Air intake has more of a turbo/whistling sound @ 1/2 to 3/4 throttle! I like it it's not really loud but noticeable....

 

wait what...? sooner didn't bust out the intake thread rule?
can pigs fly now??

maybe cuz it was friday the 13 and things got a lil weird.

INTAKE RULES!!!!!!

 

ya same here its hard to notice but its there

 

it was a valid question that i felt hasnt been beaten to death...i dont make blanket rules....

 

excellent grammar..
cleaner?

 

thats all you got?

and actually both are correct.

 

i took mine out i read that over a certain speed the scoop doesnt function because the air is moving over it too fast and cant get caught
Something to do with air pressure verse speed i think
took mine out on my 2k3 and on my old 2k
so much cleaner without it and makes working on the motor a little easier

 

That looks good, damnit I wished I had the 3.5L engine...
stupid 3.0
