I've read several posts on this forum that the OEM intakes are actually better performance-wise and have gotten the impression that these Typhoons are only good for sounding and looking cool. Basically the argument against them seems to be that the heat shielding isn't enough to prevent them from just sucking hot air in from the engine bay unless you're at highway speeds. Do you disagree with this?
I've also read posts from people claiming the Typhoon actually does increase power but I can't figure out if they know what they're talking about or if they're just trying to avoid feeling like they wasted their money on them. I can see how they probably do help a little when going fast enough to suck in cool air from the ducts but I drive in a lot of stop-and-go traffic here in Tampa and just can't understand how they're benefiting me over OEM.
K&N is replacing these filters for me, and I do have a set of stock intakes. Do you still suggest that I stick with the typhoon?
