CobyMoby:

How does the filter not suck in all that hot air from the engine bay? Wouldn't a CAI (away from the heat of the engine) be more efficient?? Thanks.

Tests have been done on the underhood temps with our setup. It turns out that the air that right around the filter area is only 2-4 deg F higher than the outside air. Our intake retains the factory air scoop which draws in the fresh outside air.

When crusing over 10mph the air that the intake is sucking in is essesntially the same temp as the outside air.

You will only see high under hood temps when you are cruising under 10mph. The only time that you would see this is when you are in a parking lot or in stop and go traffic.

Do you have any dyno charts I can see? I'd like to see the HP gains over the rev range. If you can find a dyno chart, please specify also which additional mods to the car have been done (as these may affect the outcome of the test results.) Thanks!!

I don't have any of the dyno graphs. Can someone who has dynoed our product please give me a hand here??

......man just buy it, hahhhahahha. Honestly with the options avail , Frankencar, CAI, GheetoAirBox, Mr. CobyMoby has the best option. Frankencar is a bit slow at processing orders, CAI is too much like a long straw for the 3.5L motor, and the GhettoAirbox is just kinda...gehtto! With this one, you'll get your intake really fast, great customer service, its really efficent design, and its cheaper than a CAI.


and no i dont work for him...im bored at 3am posting...and i dont even own a Berk intake. =)
BUT i do need a filter


Got pics of the new Apexi bracket?

i dont know if bryan had mentioned this... but
compared to all the other midpipes out on the market.. BERK midpipe is lighter than the rest..
i compared it with frankencar and BERK weights like a feather compared to frankencar. ..
so thats another good feature of BERK technology..

buy with confidence... bryan is a very good guy

I have the Berk On the way for my 04 Max. We have talked before, im in NY and my package arrives july 2nd UPS. Just curious i know we talked about the S&B filter that you were sending me, any chance we can do some dyno Testing with the S&B and Apexi Filter?

the difference in filters dont make much difference in performance.. like bryan mentioned.. the number performance gains is from eliminating the restrictive air box..
the filters are more of a perference and maintenance matter...
apexi is virtually maintenance free since its a dry filter
as k&n is a oiled "wet" filter which requires cleaning

i have Berk intake w/ k&N filter.. and have noticed a gain of 7 HP..and some mid-high end torque

With the apexi filter, how do you clean one. I've heard they are maintenance free. If so, then how long do they last?

I don't have the actual dyno numbers but read this test that was performed on all of the filters on the market. The S&B are the same as the K&N filter. The Apexi is the best on the market and the S&B/K&N second best.

They are zero mantainence but must be replaced after 30-35K miles. That Revspeed article mistakenly states that they are lifetime use which is of course incorrect.

How much do you sel just the apexi filter for?

The Apexi filter alone is $81 shipped.

Is there gonna be a part 4? or did I screw myself by not jumping in on this?

Part III is still on now. Let me know if you want to order one, I have everything in stock right now except Apexi.

email sent
hope to hear from you soon

email replied to.

I own a 2002 with 6 speed. Which set up would you recommend? Thanks, Ed.

Just go with the tried and true K&N intake setup. Or if you are okay to wait two weeks go with an Apexi. You can't go wrong with either setup.

Bryan

I can wait. What do you need from me now. Thanks, Ed.

do you have paypal? send me an email at bryan@berktechnology.com and I'll send over a paypal invoice for the kit. I have then in stock for the following:
