Almost forgot to mention the berk hfc has been known to throw a engine light but with the kinetics they will not... You can get a set of kinetix for $399 shipped via ebay..

I would suggest researching both so you don't just go on a biased review... After researching many thread on this forum you will see what I'm talking about.. Ha, I guess that did sound kinda biased but it is factual... lol

Search BERK CEL

But in the long run, i'm going for the one that will last longer xD

Ok buy the berks and be sure to follow up when your engine light comes on and then be sure to thank the BP Club of America, Jwick & topgunz...

How come nobody mentioned a 4.08 gear swap? (Assuming he has a 6MT)
It's probably the easiest mod for power.

Next parts I'm thinking about getting is CBE, HFC and Header.

Now some people say I won't need a HFC because it justs makes the ride sound louder.

Would I be ok with just the CBE + Header? or would I also need the HFC so everything runs smoother... Thank you!

Im curious why did you buy a transmission cooler?

Check out my build thread for the cbe and HFCs. Fast intentions plus Berk hfc with stillen gen 3's sounds amazing. Really amazing in person. HFCs did give me a noticeable amount of power via butt dyno and they can be heard above 3.5k on stock exhaust.

Not saying it doesn't exist but I've never seen anything that points directly to the Berk's causing the code.

Yea, I was hearing some clips with the berk HFC and stock CBE and the sound wasn't too pleasing haha

I have an A/T and I'm just making sure the transmission stay in top shape haha Being OCD doesn't help. Thinking about getting a Oil cooling kit but its not a daily driver and when I do push the car, it gets to 200.

You can still do it. You just need a 6MT differential.

Do your own research and make your own decision and be happy with it...

Chuck33079 · 02-05-2015, 09:24 AM

You need an oil cooler more than you need a transmission cooler. Both are a good idea.

For the cooling kit, I'm on stillen right now, I'm confused as of why the performance oil cooler is cheaper than the street option.. -_-

Chuck33079 · 02-05-2015, 09:48 AM

I'm not sure on Stillen's options. Just make sure whichever one you buy has a thermostatic sandwich plate.

Now once I place these cooling kits on, do I need to fill it up with anything after a while or will it be good to go after installing? lol

I'm not sure what you're asking. You'll have added fluid capacity, so you'll have to add however much more oil / ATF when you install it.
