i ordered Frankencar but i might just go ahead and buy this one. cobymoby is the deal done at the end of February??

 

Oh here we go...time for klooGAY to chime in...haha. Yeah, it'll be on sometime this week after I get my new sub box finished.

 

Yes, that's correct. I've had a good deal of people that had to have their CC charges reversed after waiting for 2 months from Frankencar. I'm providing better products, better service, and not to mention at superior prices! Email me if you have any questions.

Regards,
Bryan

 

After reading so much negative feedback about Franklin Car I want to go the Berk intake, do you have anymore? Also would the final price be $194.50 for the intake and mid-pipe?

 

That's the beauty of it, they can't be competitive with the pricing that I'm able to leverage. The full intake kit with an Apex filter is $159.95 shipped until the end of Feb. These are in stock and shipping daily. Send me your email address and I'll send out the paypal invoice for it.

Just finished installing my new Berk Intake. Only issue seemed to be the couplers were a bit of a bear to get on, but warming them up in the microwave for 1 minute or so helped with the malleability. I only took my car around the block, but I'm sure you could hear me go by afterwards. Note: this is the only performance mod I have on my car yet and if they all end up providing gains like this, there will be many more to come. Thanks Bryan...and thanks kloogy for talking me out of the Frankencar.

 

Told ya !

 

Cobymoby check your pm's, I need a intake asap

 

i have an original intake system on my car. i do want to chang it to increase my milage and horsepower. question is... do i need the midpipe? can i order the full intake system without the midpipe and it do the same thing? what does the midpipe do? also, what are the benefits of a apexi filter as opposed to a k&n? a 60 dollar difference..why?

thanks,

 

paid for, got the full intake w/k&n(just can't see paying 60 dollars more for the apexi).

 

You don't "need" the midpipe, I sell a kit that only replaces the air box, it's $69.95 and comes with a K&N filter. Most people report that when upgrading to the midpipe they see a real nice increase in throttle response and slight gains as far as HP goes. The Apexi filter is in my opinon (as well as many others out there) the best filter on the market, the only drawback is that it's pricey. It just depends on what it's worth to you, the K&N is a great filter and is pretty much industry standard, but the Apexi is just one notch up.

 

thanks for the info. i really want to order one but now ive read the forums that talk about frying a mass air filter chip if you aren't careful? that kind of scares me. the last thing i need is it to screw up on me and i have to pay a large amount of dough to the local dealer. is it really as dangerous as it sounds? my dad used to be a mechanic and he builds motors and everything. however, he has never touched the motors of late 90's early 00's cars (nissan at that). do you think my dad and i could install it and never have a problem with it messing up other stuff?

thanks

 

paid, full intake with k&n cant wait also got a warpspeed y pipe on the way looks like fun for me this week.

 

It really depends on your car, every Maxima made is different. Some people have had multiple MAF sensors blow on them with both stock and aftermarket intakes, others have never had them blow. Overall, the overwhelming majority have not had any problems. For every 1 problem you hear about, there are 100 that have not had the problem. Installation is a snap, some have finished it in under 30min. I provide detailed instructions.

 

thats exactly how i felt

but you will def love the product....i do

[QUOTE=doublea]

I installed it this week. I didnt get the themoflex hose from Bryan. I just bought a 3" to 3" silicon hose and reuse the stock 2.75" to 3" connector from throttle body to the midpipe. It works!

the Berk MAF bracket (that one that holds MAF to car frame) will not fit because the midpipe is longer. I made a ghetto temporary bracket to secure the MAF.

I rotate the MAF tube so the sensor does not point up and now it is pointing to the front of the car. I am affraid that excessive vibration will bump the MAF sensor harness to the hood.

I also changed the K&N filter to RR-3003, recommended by an .org member. My RU2820 was too old and too dirty because it was used as CAI filter for SC.

 

sent you a pm Bryan...

 

just want to know how long is this group deal gonna last ? thanks

 

This is good until the end of Feb. You will save 20-25% if you order this month.

Regards,
Bryan

 

cobymoby - check your pms. I am still up in the air, but I think I will get one. is there a shroud for the filter that separates it from the engine?

 

coby moby, check your email.

 

No shroud but the filter is located right behind the opening of the factory air scoop. Basically where the factory air box would recieve it's air from the outside is exactly where the filter is located.

 

Also posted in the 5th gen forum:

I removed my FrankenCar intake today. FrankenCars refusal to return both emails and phone calls finally got the best of me and I will no longer have their products displayed in my Maxima. The couplers were dryrotted and very hard to get off. I installed the Berk w/Apexi today and I have to say, it's definately a step up from the FrankenCar. The couplers are absolutely beautiful. Not only do they look very nice, they are much more rigid than the FrankenCar couplers. The Berk midpipe appears to be just a tad shorter than the FrankenCar and it is much lighter since it's made of aluminum. Lighter midpipe, stronger couplers and shorter midpipe length kept the entire assembly perfectly straight and it's perfectly in the sweet spot between the strut tower and the battery. The FrankenCar was so heavy that it sagged ever so slightly and caused it to rub up against the strut tower causing wear on the Apexi filter's plastic.

Bryan sent these before my payment went through PayPal. How many people are willing to do this? Bryan went out of his way to not only make a superior product and his customer service is unequalled. Truth be told, I think many of us would rather have a "slightly" inferior product as long as we get "superior" customer service. I would like to say thank you to Bryan for accomplishing both aspects mentioned above.

To those having problems getting the couplers on the MAF and the Intake manifold. I here your pain. Holy Mary mother of God! I warmed them up, but it didn't help much. My wife held the MAF while I turned back and forth and after a long hard struggle, it went on and it's not coming off. After having no success with installing it on the Intake manifold, I thought to myself, I have no vaseline, but I do have some KY Jelly I put the KY on the inner lining and on the end. Walla, it went on with medium effort. Who would've thought a spermicidal lubricant would work on your car?

 

what different payment options do you have? I want to avoid paypal if possible.

 

i agree with all of your statements. one thing i wanted to add was the difference in the quality of the welds. the weld for the top vacuum on my frankencar midpipe looked horrible but i did not realize the difference til i got my berk. just wanted to add that.

 

Bump, bump, bump. Man this forum sure is busy.

OK, so is Paypal the only payment option?

 

You can also pay by USPS money order. Email me for payment address:

bryan@berktechnology.com


Regards,
Bryan

 

OK. Email sent out to you. Once, I get your payment address, I will get the USPS money order out either tomorrow or Wednesday (overnight delivery). I can't wait Bryan.

**excited**

 

I was wondering if the silver part was the mid pipe? I just got my intake today, but not sure if that silver part is the mid pipe. Im also waiting for the silicon hoses because these things are going like hot cake and Byran had to oder more black ones. Also if the silver part is not the mid pipe what dose it look like and how much dose it cost?

 

I am in. check your orders.

 

Is this deal still going on? Can I get the full intake kit for my Maxima for $100? Can I buy it today with paypal?!!

 

Got mine today looks great, cant wait to install just waiting for the weather to warm up in miami thanks Cobymoby

 

I might want in also, is it to late?

 

hey abdomega, i think we lost out, ya think?

 

Is this GD still going on?!

 

this is for the people asking when gd over!

 

Bryan, I sent out the usps money order yesterday afternoon, as per your instructions. If by the time you receive my $$ you have black or silver midpipes, send me a silver. If they are still in backorder, just send it out with the red midpipe. Thanks for everything.

Fernando.
