Who is using K&N typhoons

I use them and I say depending on why you'd want them then I'd say go for it. I probably would've picked the Stillen G3's, but I am not trying

I use them and I say depending on why you'd want them then I'd say go for it. I probably would've picked the Stillen G3's, but I am not trying to have to take the front bumper off just to clean the filters so I went Typhoon for the short tube and ease of access to the filters. The power difference seems roughly the same, it might be more noticable at higher rpm's but I rarely pass 4rpm so couldn't tell you. There is a decent sound difference though.

At the end of the day though I just got it for the K&N filter and mileage, which I gained 1 - 2 mpg after install. As for performance, I couldn't care less. If I wanted to go fast I'd just break out the bike

lol well honestly man how many did you expect to get? I think you will find that most posters here are more interested in the Stillen's or some other CAI.

If I got the K&N Typhoon's I would get the fang ram air hit as well (which i'm doing as a first mod anyway.

You can google it, but it basically is hose that goes from the fang area (the area that looks like fog lights would go) to where the intake takes in air. It brings in air from outside however instead of hotter air from the engine.
