K&N Cold Air Intake
I have a few questions about the K&N Cold Air Intake system, can someone who has one installed answer a few questions? I have the 360 AirIntake System and am not happy with it.
1. Does the K&N air box seal good against the bottom of the hood? My 360 system does NOT seal good.
2. Does anyone have a photo of just the K&N airbox (without the filter inside it?) I am curiuous as to how the K&N airbox looks.
3. Is the K&N air box made of plastic material? My 360 box is metal and gets very warm after driving.
4. Where is the best (cheapest) place to buy a K&N Cold Air Intake System?
Thanks,
Bob

the K&N intake doesn't even have a box, just an L shaped heat shield between the filter and the engine, it will suck even more hot engine air than the 360 does.
here's a link with a picture of what it looks like, looks like the heat shield is metal. http://estore.websitepros.com/802805/Detail.bok?no=206

Click the little plus sign next to the menu item to get the five tests to fold out so you can click on them.
Bottom line is the Typhoon brings in ambient air. It is not subject to heat soak. I originally thought this was cuz of air blasting in from the grille but the grille is sealed to the radiator. The Magnum's design apparently drafts ambient air up into the engine compartment in sufficient quantities that heat isn't an issue. That or the stock air intake, coming up from the ground, still is feeding air. Or its magic. Either way the Typhoon short ram is effectively a CAI.
I have talked to K&N about their Aircharger. Expect a 6-8 month wait for CARB certification simply because thats how long it takes to wend its way thru the bureaucracy. Once it becomes certified the exact same system will be re-labeled with a new part number. The Aircharger's 20+ hp versus the Typhoon's 12 is because the Aircharger is a more refined unit. K&N told me the elbow in particular was a major area of improvement.

I have the K&N Aircharger (#63-1114) installed on my RT. The Airbox goes all the way down to the inside fender. It is made of metal. You have to put the hosepart on the top of it. It does seal up to the hood. It really makes a difference in performance & sound.
I'm impressed with the mod...
