Just ordered the berk hfc and stillen gen 3 intake from intense motorsports. Im excited but a little worry about getting the stock hfc off. A friend will help me install these. Hopefully everything will turn out good

I just had the Berk HFCs installed by a professional and it took them about 1 3/4 hrs. Before I took it in I put the car on ramps and tried to loosen some of the nuts. If you are wedged under the car is is tough to get good leverage on them. I tried going thru the engine compartment for the top two nuts (using a 1/2" wrench and extenders) and couldn't get them off. The exhaust pro ended up breaking them off. It was worth all the trouble though as they really sound nice.

You can't use a wrench, you'll need a 2ft breaker bar, strong 1/2" sockets and extenders. There's a good chance the bolts will break but the kit comes with new bolts.

I just put mine on. The 2 foot breaker bar is a must! It took me about 3 1/2 hrs. 2 bottom bolts were a pain, but over all thing went real smooth. Car sound good but has a little raspy sound under load. I have pics of the install in my album!

Yeah, Im going to harbor frieght to pick up some needed tools and hopefully everything will turned out ok. I dont want it to be too loud. The Berk HFC alone sounds perfect for me. Cant wait!!!
