Berk Intake and PowerTech Muffler = Great Combo

Man, I just installed both of these. What a HUGE difference. This sounds and looks like a totally different car. (I put on the muffler that KLOOGY has) The great thing is that it sounds mean 95% of the time with ZERO 'rice' factor. Although, it is almost annoying between 2200-2500RPM.

Is is just my butt dyno, but has anyway actually experienced a slight 'decrease' in low end power with a new intake and muffler?

"Almost" has nothing to do with it. Hang on to your stock rear section. You may reinstall it before the smoke settles. And if you EVER purchase a Y-pipe . . .

I felt no power loss, maybe because I have a Frankencar, not just a Berk....

Re: Berk Intake and PowerTech Muffler = Great Combo

that's a common symptom for underhood intake...too much loose hot air and not enough dense cold air. but once WOT.......
