What does everyone think about the K&N Typhoon air intake? I'm looking to get it soon.

If it says flash required, you'll need a new tune. That's because some CIAs flow a lot more air and will cause the egine to run too lean with the stock tune. Best bet is to get a CAI/Tuner combo. I have the DeMolet and love it, but there are lots of combo deals out there.

I'm kinda new to this, (don't spaz at me, I'm a converted bimmer guy...and I just bought an'07 GT/CS, WOW

...lot more fun than my bimmer!)anyways...I just priced out a CAI, roughly $400. Then of course I did the good ole searching of what else needs to be done...low and behold, running to lean, just as you said.what's this about ... flashing the computer. won't that void the warranty!? Does the Tuner come with every kit?! what brand is everyone buying into for CAI!? is there one that stands above the others?!

sorry if this seems simple to you...but some of this is all new to me...

You can get a good CAI/tuner combination for a little less than $600.I thinkthe C&L is one of the best CAI, and the SCT Xcal II tuner is also one of the best. I bought my C&L/Xcal II combo from Evolution Performance for $565 shipped. I always remove my CAI/tune before bringing the car into the dealership so the warrenty wont be voided. I can change out the intake in about 30 minutes.

WOW!~ Like everyone says bigchange inthrottle response, Car pullsmore and revsquicker. This is on the 87 octane tune.

luckydawg003 · 02-20-2007, 10:07 PM

So what are the best intakes on the market now...Ive been thinking about C & L's street intake, with the tune. I know their are like 4 good ones out there...steeda, bbk, etc. any input would be helpful.

I have a C & L True Flow because I preffered the aluminum tube. I like it but to really maximize the effectivness of the CAI, you need a custom tune versus a canned tuned that typically comes with the tuner and CAI. I bought the C & L as a package with a Diablo Predator tuner and a canned tune and have since switch to a SCT X-Cal tuner with a custom tune. There was a noticeable difference. I am sure the other manufacturers would have the same results. Just a a preference on what you like.
