K&N Typhoon Cold Air Intake

I just bought a 2022 Stinger GT1 AWD. I'm looking at Cold Air Intake. I have a few questions. What is the best no tune CAI for my car, and will it void my warranty?

I have the 3.3L turbo.

Hey MGeezy,

Welcome to the Stinger forum and congrats on your new '22!

The best intake for you is going to really come down to your preferences.

We have a handful of options available in our Intake Product Collection: (FOUND HERE)

I personally went with the red Injen Intakes and I have been loving the sound and fitment. (FOUND HERE)

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if you would like a discount on your order with us! ​

get the dealer to put the cai in and it will be for sure under warranty.

Stinger has CAI from the factory

happy with my AEM

I like my AEM also. The intake sounds with mine are outstanding.
The dealership cannot void a warranty just because of an intake, but they could try and deny covering it under warranty if they "believe" the issue is caused by the intake.
That said, it is technically their responsibility to prove that the issue is essentially caused by something you did, more or less.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the AEM. I do like the sound and I also like the fact that the filters don't use oil BUT.......I think the boxes are not very well designed or thought out. Putting chunks of rubber on the lip of the box? It doesn't look clean at all imo. Especially with the engine braces that push down on the rubber. Also, the boxes are extra huge for no reason. They also need a clear lid imo.

So I guess I like how it functions but I just don't like how it's designed.

If the intakes for the Stinger weren't so damn expensive I woulda swapped it out for something better already. I personally would want something that's similar to the afe kit but with more of the clear lid to see the filters. Even the AEM kit for the 2.0t car looks better than ours? Why not just have that same setup for the 3.3tt?

The Stillen works/looks pretty good but what a pain to install. Get the dry filters to avoid having to remove it to oil the wet ones.

What is your goal? More noise? Short intakes that bypass the factory silencing will do that. A good number of people tend to think this is faster/more power because of the noise.

More power? That comes mainly from downpipe and exhaust and an ECU tune. Intakes and general exhaust diameters usually flow plenty to support more power to a point, but the ECU is what controls it, so it's not doing anything unless the ECU lets it and generally there are supporting mods to make to support this, which may include the intake.

Generally, factory intakes are pretty well optimized at this point, if it were easy and simply to boost power and mileage by some different shape piping/intake they'd do that from the factory. Turbo cars especially don't benefit from "better flow", since they are going through all kinds of restrictions and relying on the compressor to pressurize the air, that's what does the work and to make that work better, you clean up the exhaust restrictions so the turbine will turn faster. Think of all the tiny tubing the air has to flow through in the intercooler and whether a little bit of piping in another spot is really helping things. With a NA it's generally a bit different...except their "gains" from better intake flow (including manifold, not just an intake) are generally less than can be achieved with a tune on a turbo engine ECU. No free lunch. Just work.

Are you looking for sound or performance?
Any intake system will give you more sound, but any of them that are not sealed is going to result in much higher intake air temps and negate most all the gains from the increased airflow

The biggest restriction is not in the intake itself but the very compressed inlets in the front. You will open up a good bit more flow by getting some intake air scoops from velosotech or if anyone on the forums is still printing them.

I also have the takeda intake (with dry-flow filters) and really like it. But I am also running a JB4. With out it, i doubt there would be much (if any) real performance gain between that intake vs drop-in AEM filters in the OEM intake boxes.

If by best you mean sound, then that's subjective. If you mean performance, they're all pretty much the same. I have yet to see any gain besides better sounding "pssst" noises.

Thanks I really appreciate the input.

The best bang for the buck is a DIY intake.

Nope. It's a stock one. You dont have to spend anything extra.

Nope, can't hear that whoosh sound on that one... Lol

Subjective. I tried it. Removed it week later. Realy didn't care about the sound.Performance wise, the best case scenario is there's no difference and worst case it's reduction in performance because of the open filter sucking hot air.

If your tuned, intake absolutely makes a hp difference.

if you're making BIG power.... but how many of us are?

Good explanations here.
