^its cool to have a girl enthusiast...its just rare on these forums...so most people just automatically assume..

 

I had the typhoon intake but i also just put the stock tube back on and made a heat shield thing just messing around with it. So now I'm selling the tube and PCV hose that connects to the valve cover, and the bracket that holds the intake up. So if you have or can get a filter and MAF sensor adaptor and want a blue K&N Typhoon SRI tube let me know. Selling it cheap

 

So is it worth getting a bent pipe to pull the head out to the side of the battery... or just get the coupler and stick on the filter like i see in the first pic. wouldnt replacing the whole assembly be much more efficient?

 

some say yes, some say no. RRM claims that the rubber stock hosing is more efficient, K&N claims the smooth piping is. I dont think it matters at all. the differences are too small to matter. the stock hose moves the filter farther away from the hot headers and engine, but the K&N tube moves the filter up to where the air first enters into the engine bay. So go with whatever you think looks better or is cheapest

 

I had the Typhoon SRI, then I parted out my car, was going to sell, but Now I Want it back so bad!

 

I got the typhoon too and I like it alot

 

does the typhoon need a heat shield since it sits so close to engine and exhaust manifold?

 

no....but i'm sure it would help some how....

 

Does anyone sell one that can be added to the typhoon? I haven't seen any in any of the vendor sites that are linked in these forums.

 

i made a shield for my intake. It wasnt for the typhoon intake but it was easy, im sure it wouldnt be too hard. that or i think just autozone or advance auto parts sells one of the shell things that cover half the filter but it does shield on one side.
