I had a K&N intake and realized that it probably wasn't a good idea to keep driving with it on. Where I live there are a lot of low lying areas that tend to fill up with water and I started getting really scared of Hydrolocking my car. So I looked around for a ram air and found a Weapon R and replaced the filter with a K&N. I haven't noticed any difference between the two and brand name really doesn't mean much to me anymore because what it really boils down to is the filter. For me my Weapon R witha K&N filter FTW.

 

I worked on fabricating my own short ram tonight but i noticed...there isn't any damn room for the tubing?

Between the size of the K&N filter, am I to expect 3-4 inches of piping for a short ram? wtf?

 

YEAHHHH!!!!! WEAPON-R SECRET WEAPON WWW.ANDYSAUTOSPORT.COM

 

$125 bucks...not bad.

I just want this

 

the one thing that no one mentioned is that the k&n is carb legal. it comes with the sticker to put under your hood, and the ebay ones or custom intakes are not carb legal. thats why the k&n is more. i have had both ebay and now have the typhoon and i would say go with the k&n. maybe it was mental but the metal that the ebay one had seemed cheap. but in the end it's up to you just make sure you have a good filter on what ever you choose.

 

K&N Typhoon CAI

 

((Some cold air intake manufacturers now include a built in hydro-shield, a piece of plastic that blocks water from entering the air filter. K&N also offers a "sock" called the "Drycharger", which prevents hydrolock.))
((Average compact sport cars with 1.8-2.2L motors can lose 1 to 3 miles per gallon while using an intake))
saw that on wikipedia... lame i kno
anyone got pics of there CAI

 

Heh. I would like to see some pics. I am looking to go with the K&N CAI. Any gains off of this? What all will I see?

 

Bump for answer.

 

i know there will be gains but it will be minimal. it will sound better also, if you dont already have one,you should look into an exhaust andheader, they compliment the intake well.
