There are a lot of intake options. It depends on your budget and how much you are willing to do to install it. Check in the Intake & Exhaust sub-forum.

It appears that either nobody else has it or nobody else has it that wants to post about it. Just because your thread doesn't get a response is no reason to start another one on the exact same topic in the wrong forum. I'm going to move this back to the Intake and Exhaust forum where it goes. Hopefully someone gives you the input that you desire. If not, consider that as the first person on the forum with it that maybe you can be the guy to give your thoughts and input and help out others.

You might also want to consider choosing a better and more appropriate thread title that might actually make people click on your thread. The majority of members will ignore a thread titled "Is this any good?" or "Intake". What does that even mean? But if you chose to title it "Seeking feedback on K&N Typhoon Intake" or something informative like that at least people know what the thread is about. Just a suggestion to try to help in getting someone to care about your thread. Good luck!

I do remember reading in here about a thread on this particular intake, that somebody installed on their car. But I don't remember who, what, or where though. Sorry. But I know some members are running it on their cars.

Of course you did. Typing "typhoon" into that bar at the top labeled Search would have told you that literally in one second. It did for me.

i have the typhoon in my car. my heat shields are a little different, but everything else looks the same.

what i noticed after the install.....the power curve seemed to level out. the car wasn't so "punchy" after. the exaust also sounded alot louder on heavy acceleration.

other than that, my butt dyno needs to be calibrated, so i will not say i noticed any kind of power increase.

all in all, not a bad ram air intake
