JWT, Frankencar, Berk, Stillen?

I was just wondering which intake to buy. I was looking at the JWT Pop Charger, but I'm unsure of which is best and how much each cost with filter included. I'm also a novice and don't have much experience other than saturday type maintenance. Which is easiest to install?

They are all the same difficulty, although the Frankencar midpipe may through you for a bit of a loop.

Berk Intake $50
Frankencar midpipe: $60

Berk, JWT and stealing are the easiest ones to install....

then comes franken...where the mid pipe needs to be replaced.


then the CAIs...ingen and PR

u can start with berk, JWT and upgrade to franken midpipe...

In doing many searches, I'm still up in the air on which is best. Can anyone shed any light on which Intake to get for my 2k2 Auto GLE? Also, which is the quietest during normal operation and which has the deepest growl when summoned?

all the pop chargers are about the same in performance wise... now price wise is a different story stillen is by far the most expensive POP charger out there but for cheapest that ive found is the berk tuning intake and yes, i do have it on my car. im just waiting to see what brian comes up with for the mid pipe if not im getting the frakencar mid pipe, BTW installation was perty easy took about 25 mins when i got off of work one evening co workers were like what are you doing now

GET THE INJEN COLD AIR INTAKE! If you don't wanna get it, then how about you buy my JWT/Franken mid from me and I'll buy the injen.

I have the frankencar setup ,and it is awesome..good sound, and good increases in hp. It is very easy to install, takes about 35-40 minutes, and their website has pictures to walk you along every step of the way.

The frankencar sounds stock under normal driving and like an animal at wot...I got one for my wife's 2k2 auto and it went on in under an hr with no problems. I highly recommend it. About $150 total. Good luck with what ever you get.

You should also look at the Injen cold-air intake if you are considering intakes. It does not require any drilling or cutting, and is about as easy to install as most high-flow intakes. I have a complete writeup with pictures on my web site (click link at left).
