Question REVi vs K&N Typhoon

From what I've read, the most popular intakes seem to be the REVi and the K&N, so what are the pros and cons of both? I'm more interested in performance than sound, but I definately want both.

I have Revi. Its louder than stock but I don't think it is anywhere as close to as loud as K&N. As to performance, from what I've read, both are very low, 1-4 horsepower or something, even though K&N guarantees 8-10.

K&N can only gives you around 3-5 HP @ 8500 rpm+ (Redline is 9000, remember that)

The Dyno chart on K&N's website ... I dont know but it seems kinda weird to me.

I really dont know wheres the 8+ hp coming from.

and yes I have the New Typhoon for a long while. (As you can see my profile picture)

ITs louder than stock for sure, not sure about REVi.

If your looking for performance gains you won't find much with any aftermarket intake.

then you won't get that in the 8. aftermarket intakesfor the 8 are merely noisemakers and in some cases actually make you LOSE horsepower.

try searching and you'll see the results.

Yup, intake wont give you performance. Maybe a few hp, but you won't see a difference.
