Thanks for installing it well I was at work Mike!!! :)

Nice.... mine should be coming in a few days...:evil_laug

...i like the sound of it w/ just the stock exhaust too for some reason. Saw some video on YouTube ;)

did you oil your filter? mine looked like this after i put it on.

^very cool.

Gawd we need a new camera or get it fixed already...
Your welcome for the Birthday Gift...lol ;)
yeah thats mine too :lol2:

Its used so I need to clean it ;)

how much you pay? And how long it take for installation.. I'm interested in one too=D

k&n ftw! recharge yours though!

When did you take off your M logo???? I want to see more pics of it off!!!! =]



oh yea nice intake too lol

Got mine for 100 shipped. I LOVE IT. Sounds so freaking nice from the inside, had a friend redline it for me while I was outside, sounds amazing. The feeling at 7-9k feels like alot more pull too, unless its just a placebo lol. Overall, I love it. Grats Dom!

It took me literally under 13minutes to install it

where you get it for 100

haha i wish the cai took that long =P i put all 4 coilovers on faster then i did my intake. It too me about an hour an 20 min for the coils and like 2 hours for the intake. That was also custom cutting the stock intake box to cover then intake though =]

Its used so I need to clean it ;)

oh ok. i assumed you bought it new. mine looks like that now. i have a little bit of motor oil in it now though from the blowby into the intake. time for an oil catch can and a recharge.

where you get it for 100

Some team here was selling theirs. I happened to grab it at the perfect time ;)

Man the rear coilovers are a PIA. Damn, when me and a buddy installed my springs took us like 15minuts to install the front and like 2hours for the rears. what a pain?

^My friend Mike installed my front springs 30min the back 30min.

Pretty expensive noise maker.

well we started with the rear since it was harder and it took us about 30 min. then we did the front and lowered it down and it was WAY to low, so we had to jack it back up and adj everything. we also went for a 20min drive when the car was about 2 inchs off the ground lol

Pretty expensive noise maker.
Want to race? :lol: I'll be SoCal on 04/12&13 :)

Want to race? :lol: I'll be SoCal on 04/12&13 :)

lol i thought intakes made +60whp? hahaha

Stickers ;) :lol:

Congrats man, looks nice, but I was wondering if there is a noticeable performance difference between your Typhoon and a K&N that goes into the OEM filter box. I mean the price difference is around $300 and I don't know if it's proportional with the overall performance.

Filter=meh. Intake=Yeah babe yeah!

intake makes about 2 or 3 hp on our cars. If you get an intake its mostly just for sounds and looks.

Filter=meh. Intake=Yeah babe yeah!

Hey i like the carbon fiber filter on the k&n lol

Hey i like the carbon fiber filter on the k&n lol

yeah, me too. its too bad the weave pattern does not match most other CF pieces.

You had it? Or believe what you read? lol

i just bought mine over the internet for $259.12 (new)....anyone know if i had been ripped off ? ....if yes , i'll call and cancel it :( ...if not , im gonna LOVE IT :D

^Thats about what they go for. You should be ok. I got mine used.

What amuses me is when sellers brag something about 10-20 HP increase.

You guys are SlooooOOOWWWWwwww

I was the first one (probably the whole world) to install it ! MUhahahahahahahahaha

I just sold mine to imput1234, and I kind of miss it. Sure, the big increase in volume and the different tone may not be for everyone, but I swear the car is more responsive with the Typhoon vs. drop in filter.

I'm well aware of the placebo effect from the extra noise, but after swapping back and forth a few times between stock intake and the Typhoon I noticed:

*Mid range throttle response seems to be a little bit better with the typhoon (accelerating in mid range throws you back into your seat more with the typhoon-this was pretty noticeable, but not a major difference.)
*High rpm does seem to pull a little harder.
*The car is REALLY quite with the stock intake, and REALLY loud w/ the typhoon-night and day difference. Even near redline the car is like a ghost after having the typhoon on there.
*Acceleration is smoother with the typhoon-you can't feel the ports opening as much.

If I wasn't selling my car I would have probably kept the intake and built a custom enclosure to keep heat out and some volume in, coupled with the RB duct this might be the most performance and cost effective intake. If I didn't have the RB duct I might be hesitant to run the Typhoon in the summer b/c of the heat soak issue, even with the duct I did notice some heat soak sluggishness after idling in hot weather.

I'm pretty much sold on this... Anyone have this in combination with greddy sp2 exhaust? Curious of the sound.

Hey how do you like the K&N with Racing Beat Duct? Does the duct quiet it down?

dude i swear i think the exact same thing, i cant believe how quiet my car is now, and it just feels different. You put it all into words a lot better than i can. If anyone is sitting on the ffence about getting it, i would recommend it for sure.

Hey how do you like the K&N with Racing Beat Duct? Does the duct quiet it down?

Hell no.

It will quiet down only if u custom fab some shield of some kind for the K&N itself.

Its about time to clean da filter again, every 5 K miles :)

You had it? Or believe what you read? lol

well i have the aem cai and i didnt feel much difference. I felt a little more power from like 6200rmp to redline but thats about it.

AGREE!!!! WELL SAID!!!

IT CAME WITH TWO 12' SUBS THAT YOU PUT BEHIND THE FRONT GRILL TO MAKE IT EVEN LOUDER....:lol:

here goes a old vid of my car w/ just the k&n before all my other mods....

Yeah you would need a plxy glass top custom made but it wont do much as for the sound muhahahhaaa!
Every 5K yeah? Thanks for the tip man :)

Yup I can feel. It the day Mikeluvs8 did my install I was like oh wow lol this is too cool :smoker:

I noticed absolutely no gain anywhere. No offense man, but I find it hard to believe that you could notice 3hp. I went back to the stock intake because of the heat soak issues (summers are hard here in the south) and warranty threats.

With that being said, it's your car and to each his own. To the OP, I'm glad you are enjoying your intake. I personally liked the look.

Its kinda like sex. Not everyone likes it the same :lol: so you might feel it or you might not. Remember every 8 is different.

no, there's no way to feel 3 whp on any 8. That's what he was getting at.

Thing it you can drive a 250hp car and drive a 300hp car. Now tell me you can feel the dif? Cuz I could not lol
Meh what ever panda bear.
