Installing K+N Typhoon intake questions.

Jeez Chuck, how do you really feel? Not all of us are track guys, and want modest improvement. Constructive answers to my post appreciated.

He's saying the short-ram intakes won't give you modest improvement. The factory intakes are pretty well designed, replacing them with short-rams has them draw the hot air from under the hood and could possibly lose power. Get a full-on cold air intake like the Stillen G3 or slap some upgraded filters and call it a day.

This. OP, you bought a hot air intake. It will show a power increase on the dyno when the hood is open and the fan is blowing on it. It will cost you power in the real world. It's a downgrade as the factory setup draws air from outside the engine bay. The K&N pulls hotter air from the engine compartment.
