frankencar midpipe
i just ordered the berk technology intake and have heard that the best combo with this is the frankencar midpipe...does anyone know the advantages of this? is there any hp gain or is it strictly just a better sound and a little better looking?...

Strictly from the "BUTT" Dyno, my car felt like it came to life after 3500 RPM's, which it didnt while stock . I have the Frankencar Midpipe , with the Berk Intake. I might be switching to an Apexi filter soon though.

It roars. When I put the windows down and turn the stereo off, it sounds so sweet. I find myself doing 80mph on side streets just to hear it roar. I haven't had my stereo on in days- seriosly. God Bless Frankencar.

Definately hp gain! It sounds awesome too! Think about it! It replaces the stock portion of the midpipe and that thing is ruffled and rubber which we all know will slows down the air and can be quite restrictive. By changing to a straight pipe (franken midpipe) the air has no restrictions and will flow smoothly into the intake manifold. The only down fall would be that the metal conducts heat more than rubber and that will lead to hotter air going into the intake manifold which we all know is bad.

yes i know it will roar, but will it roar to redline and get to a meaner roar the higher u rev, or will that roar just stop like mine does around 4k when the variable intake manifold opens up, and just rev? i want it to get meaner and roar lounder the higher i rev, u know what im talkin about.

When you just order the Frankencar Midpipe do you get everything that needs to be included....i.e. the hose clamps, etc.
Also, I have searched, but is there anybody that has pictures and instructions for the installation of the midpipe? Any help would be great

I just ordered the Franken midpipe too. I just installed the Berk last weekend,and I also love low high pitched hiss (sounds like turbo) on low throttle acceleration, of course it goes away and roars once the RPMs go up. Probably from partially open throttle body valve... But it sounds awesome. I don't feel any low end loss either. But then it's all feel for now and ears.

Are you telling me that he GAINED hp by removing the intake and going back to the stock airbox? That is impossible.
