Best bang for the buck is doing the labor yourself, great DIY section to help. DIY Section (Do-It-Yourself) - Nissan 370Z Forum
On the topic of parts, what are you looking for with these? More power, certain sound type, plan to track the car, other?

hey yall, I'm after talking to a friend and doing some research of my own, I'm interested in the Berk HFC's and am still curious about a solid Intake which will give me a good HP jump per $$. thinking around the $450 range. how much does labor run these days for a hfc install?

im not sure how much a HFC install would run but im sure, actually POSITIVE you will save money for other mods if you install the hfc's yourself. you should be able to do it with a couple jackstands if you do not have access to a lift. Its only two small parts of the exhaust, nothing you cant handle doing by yourself. Be gentle with the o2 sensors though.

Both gave excellent advise.

So, both my Berk HFC's and Stillen Gen2's are en route. Going to install with the help of a friend, pic's to come friends!

I woke up to a knock on my door this morning, and the Fedex guy had a box labelled BERK! Called up a friend and rented out a lift at our local garage. The install of the HFC's took about 4 hours (first mod having a Z) and it was pretty painless. Getting the bolts off the manifold was a hassle though, we ended up snapping the driver side bolt after about 30 minutes of working at it. Even bathing the flange in PB didnt seem to help too much.

There needs to be a demon bolt emoticon.
