rb duct w/ k&n typhoon
i have a 2nd gen k&n typhoon on my 8 & was wondering if adding the rb intake duct would make a significant difference in performance. any of u w/ an intake other than the rb install the rb duct & feel a difference?
|
Sorry i cant help you, but i have been on the fence for awile for an intake. and i was woundering how is the sound do you still have that nice rotory sound how loud is it over stock........I how the 1st gen typhoon was garbage and have been waiting for an honest oppion on the new one..
|
i think it sounds great... it sounds totally stock until u punch it! the buttdyno tells me that there is more torque throughout the rpm band. that's as much as i can comment.
i'm just looking for info on whether or not it'd make a difference if i added the rb intake duct or not... |

I'm not sure if the duct would help all that much on the KN Typhoon since I don't think you can connect the duct directly to your intake. Isn't the typhoon an open air intake? Won't that just bring in cold air but let it get hot as it enters the engine bay? (before being sucked into intake) I'd be interested to know if this combo would work though... Off topic: Ever considered selling the K&N and getting the Revi? |
i have the k&n, and it definitely gets loud if you punch it. but its bnot an anoying sound, it just totally enhances the unique rotary sound of your engine.i had my brother do a fly by in it and i almost wet my pants, car feels like its got some balls now, seriously.
|
^^ First generation Typhoon, right?? I've heard that one and it is PRETTY loud.
OR Do you have the new Typhoon? |
any cold air raming at the intake fither will help
|
ne one know wheres the cheapest to buy the k&n typhoon ?
|
its Fing loud....and its throaty as hell.. sux that we dont have the go to back all that sound... i scare the shit out of pedestrains who try to cross the road and make me slow down..LOL..

did any of u guys finally get this combo? i wanna hear the results of any aftermarket intake other than the rev-i in combination w/ the rb duct...

i mean, performance wise?
|
people's butt dynos may tell otherwise, but i don't recall seeing any real noticeable gains from any intakes. butt dynos need to be recalibrated :|
|
has the typhoon v2 just got a back heat plate or is it in a box like the stock?
|
Heat shield.

i currently have the k&n typhoon & was thinking of adding the rb duct... but, i'm not sure how much more efficient the setup would be... being that the rb duct & k&n filter wouldn't even line up properly
