k&n typhoon intake

[brwnrice]

finally received and installed my typhoon intake. total install time for me was 3 1/2 hrs :shock: the directions were very broad and not as detailed as an ikea instruction. it doesn’t really show you what parts to use and you have to reference back to the first page of the blown parts list. it also didn’t help that i was working at night with gail force winds, thunderstorm and freezing temperature! okay, i'm over exaggerating 8) I was missing a z bracket and went around the house looking for some sheet metal for a custom fabrication. Summary of the intake is good quality parts, but shitty install instructions.

Nice!

I replaced the embedded images with the smaller versions and made them links to the full-sized photos. Hope you don't mind. :cool:

Looks good, can you feel any diff. in power on the butt dyno. When i had an open element filter on my EVO it sounded like a vacuum cleaner since the spool up was so loud and the stock BOV was pretty loud too, but i couldn't tell a diff in power.

[brwnrice]

thanks again tam!

the but-o-meter says that i lost low end power but good midrange punch. yeah, the whoooshh-whooshh sound is alot more louder than stock!

Looks pretty sweet. Let me know how that works out. I got a little nervous about ording one when I read a few reviews people had posted about finding water all over it a few times.

[brwnrice]

i read the negative reviews at evom.net and so far i have not experience any idling issues. *crossing fingers*

Hey I'm hoping with you I like the cold air intake sound, but I was kind of worried because of how wet this place is this time Of year I was thinking of getting one for the summer and swapping it out for the winter. If anything the summer is when your going to need every little bit with the heat.

looks good. is that a carbon heat shield it came with? how much did u pay for it, and from where?

terrence it is carbon fiber and i got it from a group buy that rob (coolguy949) set up last month. paid $205 shipped!

[Dogtown]

Damn good price If there is another group buy I might get in on that depending on what you guys have to say about them.

looks good man *thumbs up* i got the aem and i havent had any problems with it getting wet since the filter side is pretty close to the side.

[BluEvo]

looking at the set-ups between the aem and k&n, they are very simular except for the carbon fiber heat shield. either one looks like a good cold air system. tempted to get one now..... :wink:

[evo_dadi]

just charge it man ;) aem or k&n either way works :)

[BluEvo]

maybe man...i might order one from the shop at the meet tomorrow. so u got the pancit right..lolz :lol:

[evo_dadi]
