View attachment 25514 View attachment 25515 Finally got the K&N Typhoon intake in yesterday and had time to install it today. Ran into a few annoying issues that made it take longer than it should've:
- One of the OEM vacuum hoses was a b*tch to get off. Had to pull and turn and pull and turn for 15min to get it off.
- I could not for the life of me get one of the vacuum hoses fully installed onto the K&N connector (same one I had trouble disconnecting). I got it close enough for gov't work tho and called it good, couldn't risk pushing any harder as the connector is plastic and I could easily see it breaking from too much pressure.
- Lost a dadgum wrench down in the engine bay while installing the punk vacuum hose to the K&N. Took me 30min or more with a clothes hanger to shimmy the thing out of there.
Took it out for a drive and the sound is more subtle than my DIY version, but still sounds good. Throttle response still feels better than stock. Build quality seems solid enough and given the closed box design, I think it'll handle heat much better. The real test will come soon with all the stop n go traffic on my commute this summer. Overall I'm happy with it, but it's still early yet.
