good going, you will love the sound when you get it on. i have one. easy install. take a look at the how to sticky. any intake install will give you some idea on how to install it.

Unscrew everything that's holding your airbox and front factory air intake. Undo all the clamps. Lift factory air assembly out. Unscrew plastic peice with MAF in it from air box. Screw it on new intake, follow pictures to mount new intake to throttle body. That's how I did it for my Injen. How much did you pay for the Berk, and where did you get it. I am looking at getting one too.

youll love the sound, i have mine with the K&N and i love it. the install was easy, but the directions i got from Berk were perfect, im not sure whats with yours.

let us know when you get to the fun part of slipping the small rubber tube onto the MAF

Do it your damn self... ... besides, didn't your Berk come with any instructions? Here's what mine came with:





(If those pics don't show up, go to page 6 of my homepage, or PM me your email address and I'll just send em)

I also used the following link for pics of the install, its for an Injen install, but just use your imagination:

http://www.greghome.com/Greg%27s%20G...SE/ColdAir.htm

Its a really easy install... took me less than an hour.... the hardest part is stretching the silicon tubing onto the MAF and intake manifold, but after some exertion, ya should be able to do it by hand...

My berk intake is being shipped as we speak. I can't WAIT to get it and install it. Bryan is a great guy to deal with, although he's awfully busy all the time. I also got the Apexi filter. I also got a great deal on it but can't tell you how much. Enjoy.

OK, I'm thinking Maxima caravan to Budd Lake and hanging out with KC and NJDevil. (I might need the extra pair of hands/eyes to help me put an Injen heat shield on my CAI. )

Take you time and don't get impatient. Disconnect the battery before the install. You might consider doing a ECU reset after install so the ECU starts with a "clean slate" check the stickies up top for info on that procedure.
