K&N Problem

i just recently finished an install of my K&N Typhoon cold air intake system on my 8. My question is after i was finished...i started the car up and the "lost traction" light stays on and the DSC light keeps blinking.. what did i miss???

i'm not sure what version it is. It saids series 69 Typhoon system. Product number is 69-1030-1tfk. Its not really any louder at idle but at 7000-9000 rpms its pretty damn loud. It vibrates the inside of the cabin. Its loud enough for me where i just bought and i'm thinking of selling it.

Is it a round intake, or a giant filter the size of the old airbox?

You should've do your homework before you buy anything.

Out of all the aftermarket intake, K&N is the loudest (imo)

If you want something quiet, you should've stay stock, or get RacingBeat intake.
