Berk Tuning Midpipes - READ.....
The final testing and fitment issues have been worked out on the 2000-01 midpipes, the 2002's were completed some time ago. ETA for the midpipes are 1 month. I will have a pre-order special on these, as you all expect, I will be offering one of my crazy low a$$ prices on these.
These will be made out of polished 6061 aluminum and will have a bright chrome like surface. The connecting hoses will probably be Purosol braided hi temp silicone hose (like I use on my LE kit). Hose does not get any better than this. It is kind of overkill for this application so I may use non braided hi temp silicone, well see what works best for the consumer.
Driving Impressions: Not as loud as I expected, but it is definately louder than the standard intake kit. You can feel a good increase in power throughout the RPM band. For those of you who don't mind the louder roar of the intake, this is for you.

I assume your mid-pipe will include the necessary mounting hardware. Will you be using the same bracket design as Frankencar uses? The reason I ask is because Frankencar's bracket design "may" increase the risk of MAF sensor failure by exposing the MAF meter to increased vibration.

I want to wait for the Berk Mid-pipe...and show my loyalty since you have given us such good deals. What time frame do you envision for getting these ready for sale? I am for the braided hoses...they will look sweet in our engine bay
I am also curious about the mounting braked that was referred to above....

2. The prototype is hiddeous, because of all of the welds and re-welds and the non-finished metal. If you have my intake, you'll know that peices are first rate, made by professionals, not in a garage.
3. I have no way of making sound clips
