Berk Intake
Hey fellow enthusiats, Berk's intake sale ends today and I wonder if Berk's intakes are as good as all the others for far less money. At $60 including shipping is a steal compared to Stillen, Franken, etc. What are your opinions?

1. Does the mid-pipe come with the two rubber couplers?
2. Any advantages with having the mid section (power, noise)?

Re: Re: Re: Berk Intake
Are you talking about the black rubber tubes on this page? If so, yes. I just painted mine though so don't be surprised why mine sparkles.
The mid-section seems to be the key component that keeps your low-end intact while giving you a nice growl. (based on user reviews, i haven't installed mine yet, I've been playing around with it lately.)

i just installed my berk with the frakencar intake mid section. you get everything from steve that you need and he is very quick to ship. you get the rubber couplers, brackets and new clamps. i feel no loss low end and only gains high end. the sound is almost addicting.

ironlord you may me correct, but we are talking about a 5 speed and i usually shift at high rpms to satisfy each gear. i noticed my gas was getting lower than stock even in one day. This intake sucks a lot of air making my stock muffler very loud especially when i'm pushing the 3 rd gear. I dunno how this will work out with a auto, because auto shift gears by itself and may not burn much gas as mine right now. My other option is to sell this intake and get the berk with franken ram section.

i paid $65 for a 2k1 midpipe shipped and i think its $60 for a 2k2. im not saying one way or the other if you will lose power. some people on here with just a pop charger or stillen say they feel like they lost some low end while others say they didnt lose any. i just liked what i heard about fraken and that almost no one lost power anywhere. i just thought id save a little with the berk/fraken combo. it also cleans up the engine bay dramatically in my opinion. i decided to leave the stock scoop on and run a preheater hose or air intake hose from the ending of the scoop leading to the berk.
