TL Typhoon Complete Cold Air Kit
FYI. I found a someone that will sell the Typhoon Kit (available in 4 colors) for $250 with free shipping. This kit can be configured as a CAI or a Short Ram (for winter months) Is this a good price?
A few questions for the people who have this installed in their TL:
Is it worth it?
How loud does it sound? Could someone please post a sound clip?
How hard is the install?
Can it be installed without removing the Bumper or fenders?
Anyone have Dyno test results?
I have a drop in K&N filter ($38 - Model 33-2078) on order but how much better performance can I expect from the Typhoon Kit?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, search for Typhoon. That crazy dude Salut was one of the first and his car is what K&N used for the Test fitting before releasing the product.

I love it...
I do not own, have not owned, or know anything about the AEM or Injen... A lot of ppl here swear by them... (It ain't polite to swear to God - What movie? - guess)
Answer: Cowboy way. But I digress... Maybe this is why Casper thinks I'm crazy...???
... Oh wait I know... The way I drive... that's right.
Sorry Xtian04TL here we go again...
I do not have a sound clip...
It sounds throatier for sure... You get a little of the "Sucking" sound everytime you depress the accelerator...
Bottom line I love it... The performance you get is minimal, a few actual HP to the wheels but I personally feel it... the car is quicker, the throttle is crisper and more responsive throughout the powerband...
Good luck bud...

But how soon are you going to have to get it smogged... It's a new car... should be at least two years...
They should get the kinks worked out by then...

I'm going to go ahead and order one for my Silver/Quartz 5AT. Now I just need to decide what color to get it in. I've narrowed it down to silver or polished. What do you guys think?

Here's some good info. from K&N:
http://www.knfilterchargers.com/sear...Prod=69-0021TS
Specifically on that page, here's some dyno results:
http://www.kandn.com/dynocharts/69-0021.jpg
It shows a 6.8HP boost at 5501 RPMs. So like Salut said, it's only a couple HP difference, but you may still notice it.
