Well today is my 25th birthday and I got a present or two this morning and would not mind a comment or two.

Unwrapped a K&N Typhoon Intake Sys. - I have been looking at the Revi Intake but would love to hear thoughts and facts about the K&N considering I now own one and am forced to be in the garage for a few hours tomorrow installing it

The other item is an exhaust system, what brand? no clue. Basically my business partner has a long term friend with a muffler shop that found an RX-8 exhaust system for me and will install it free. I was told that it has two smaller mufflers and dual exhaust - looks just like the mazdaspeed kit although he didnt give me the brand name and model. I will up update on this when I find out obviously.

Anyone know of any pro's/con's of the K&N Typhoon?

 

Like all aftermarket intakes...the 'pro' is sound and that's about it. No significant gains. I've read the typhoon might even decrease power by a few horsepower.

 

I'll definetely post about it tomorrow.

 

every little bit helps, either of those mods by themselves won't get you much, having both will add a little, plus you'll get a nicer sound and probably slightly better mileage with the intake. Gotta' start somewhere

 

What is this "Gas Mileage" you speak of?

I think I'm more interested in actually working on my car, getting a nice little tone out of it with a quicker throttle response is just a bonus. Although if it Dyno's at +400whp I'll let you guys know....*wakes up*

 

If you get 200 Horses to tow your car, you're THERE MAN!

And it improves gas mileage. Prolly not real cheap though.

 

Ok, the Typhoon intake makes my car sound very pissed off weed-eaterish. Not too mention it is ungodly loud, louder than any exhaust I've ever had.

Not sure if I like it.
