Expect around 6-10 rwhp gains. I did a before and after dyno and got some good gains.

But remember it's a HAI so not as good as a CAI.

I have noticed when it's hot out and I am at a stop light it gets heat soaked and I start to bog. But but not a problem when moving.

Honestly.. if you're doing Typhoon might as well go with K&N filters with post maf tubes. Still draws cold air and not much less gains from Gen IIIs.
