Can someone post a pic of how their Berk intake looks in their 2000-01?

Going to install the Berk this weekend. Would be helpful to me if I could see some picks of how it looks in the 00-01 Max before I begin.

Thanks!

Why do you have the MAF pointing down?

Because I'm an idiot I was in a hurry when I installed it and that's just how it turned out. Once it gets warmer out I'm gonna turn it around, makes no difference either way, wire's long enough to reach it just fine.

LoL, did my intake, brakes, pcv valve and two oil changes this winter, but that was all on the days it was unseasonably warm Now that it's staying light out later I've got a basement full of mods and general maintenance items that need attention.

Oh. One other question, does the intake move around alot when the engine is running, and does the bracket which goes to the intake secure it enough?

(also, how do you like it?)

Yea, the bracket secures it fine - it's not attached in the picture, but it is now, I have it tightened down on the intake, but not totally tightened on the strut tower to allow for a little movement - no it doesn't move around a lot at idle...wouldn't know about at WOT because I'm usually behind the wheel and not in the engine bay...

I love the intake, it roars above 3,500 RPM, you'll enjoy it!

Ok, got mine in last night. Here are two picks:

http://www.scuderi.net/car/

My impresion is positive for the most part. I notice quicker throttle response, very nice growl on acceleration, no loss of low end power that I can tell, quiet on idle and crusing, and the whistle on moderate acceleration. Only the whistle I'm not too sure about.

Overall, the car feels like it has more "life".

Thanks to those that posted a pic, it helped with my install.

Not sure what you mean.

My Berk mid-pipe has a long tube coming off the side with three spots to connect the rubber tubes to. Everything fit fine.

Pic would be good, but what did you use the hole for? Was it just open to the air?

That is correct. It should stay there.
