I have ordered mine through Bryan (Berk Tuning) The supplier hasn't delivered yet... K&N has been having problems filling orders lately. I had to wait a month to get my hands on a K&N oil filter. Even Pep Boys has a problem w/distribution.

I have the Matrix-type filter on my Berk Intake for the time being... it looks about the same as the K&N. And it ROARS above 3k. No hissing, just ROARING. It has got to be a piece of crap as far as filtering is concerned. If you can get your hands on the true K&N filter, then go for it! You will like!

The filter that I am waiting for: K&N RR-3003. I can't wait to get my hands on it! I think it's the silver one in your picture.

Ya I run the BERK K&N and love the replacement price of 31.95 for the filter, that way I can run one while I'm cleaning one.

Can you hook up the Frankencar midpipe wih a JWT pop charger? What the difference with and w/o a midpipe? Is that really necessary?

I had the berk intake and recently installed the mid-pipe. All I can say is ..big difference!! before, the Berk provided a beefy tone above 3K and WOT, now it a loud roar. When I first installed the mid-pipe, I thought the sound was too loud....but it has grown on me...

I can tell a difference with the mid-pipe.

Does Frankencar sell the mid-pipe by itself? Or does anybody know if it would hook up with a jwt pop charger? Or is it better just to buy the whole frankencar intake?

how do Frankencar and Berk sound at normal part-throttle? Does it give the same growl as Stillen?
