Ets or k&n
trying to decide which intake to purchase... ETS cold air or K&N typhoon intake. the K&N is about a $100 more but is it really worth it... when installing are there any additional costs i should know of. and if you have either of these please give me a review thanks...

The Typhoon you can run without a tune...someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think the ETS you need to get a tune to not harm your engine...the K&N also comes with a hotpipe and you can find it for cheaper than the ets...I got mine for 250 brand new...easy install great quality build...difference in spoolup is noticeable a few extra ponies don't hurt either...and you can really hear the turbo with it. Hope that helps..

Go with the K&N man, their reputation across the board is unmatched. However it is still recommend that you get a tune to fully optimize the intake system and to prevent any lean out conditions that "may" arise. Point being that anytime you change the MAF housing you need a retune.

yeah Kracka it does and I wasn't sure about the ETS so now we got an answer for both lol, I agree on the design I really liked it overall even though it may not get the most power compared to others it seemed like a great middle ground...13EVOX Westerville is a suburb on the north side of Columbus

I was torn between the Agency Power one and the K&N b/c of the intake design using the factory snorkel..there are a few of them out there that have similar designs but after doing a lot of reading I never seemed to see any negatives to the Typhoon and I found a good price so I decided to go with it

ETS for sure.
When it comes to parts I wouldn't choose anything over AMS, ETS,, TOMEI and brands like that if you can afford them. ETS's quality and customer service is honestly unmatched and you will have the piece of mind of having a great part. I personally don't like K&N at all, from their air filters to intakes. It almost seems like they use the same exact design intake for the million cars they make products for and don't make any research behind it. I uses to have an rx8 and the car comes with a CAI from factory and K&N just made an SRI for the car...
