I've really been considering the K&N Typhoon, uses the stock air inlet, comes with a heat shield, an upper intercooler pipe and can be had for around $330.

I don't think many people here run it; I personally haven't found very many opinions of it on this forum.

As far as drop-ins go, I would probably go with the WORKS filter, depends on how much money you have to play with.

 

on the buschur website it says for the direct fitting cone filter your gonna need a heat shield for it or the hot air from the ac fan will make the car stumble..is this true?

 

yes it will

 

alright thanks

 

^^^your welcome

One thing I will tell you is dont listen to the guys who just throw a company name out there with no results to back up their decision. I am looking into getting the WORKS drop in filter, its cheap and have heard it makes good gains. With the money you save you can get an UICP, research just like you are doing and Im sure you will make the right choice.

If the guys that just post a name would provide graphs it would be much easier to decide.

 

yeah definitely,thanks for the input..i plan on getting the works or k&n drop in, also how much you getting the uicp?

 

I am looking into getting the Nisei 1 piece UICP from their web site.

looks a good buy

 

id go with the K&N drop in or the buschur kit

 

Buschur racing filter, i had one on my car , easy to install, easy to take care of too [= not to bad of a price either

 

How do these drop ins compare to AMS Short Ram Intake or the ams cold air..

Using the car as a DD, I think a panel or short ram would be better if you live in florida/northeast.. we get a good amount of rain sometimes, don't want a surprise.

 

yeah but when you had the buschur racing filter didnt you need the heat shield?

 

as long as you aren't fording rivers (oregon trail joke ) I wouldnt worry about sucking up water.

 

I was also looking at the K&N Typhoon. On their site they are saying 21 Hp gains at 6400 rpm

 

^^ you have to keep in mind that some of those number are after a tune. Until you get a tune you might not be getting the most out of it. I hope your having fun driving your new X
