Removing K&N

Discussion in 'Modifications & DIY how-to' started by Nemesis Digital, Jul 24, 2006.

  1. So ive been contemplating this for a bit.

    I spent a decent amount on a K&N Typhoon short ram. Overall no CELs and car driveability is fine.

    Im picking up a Cobb AP sometime this week and noticed the maps call for a stock air box. Im wanting the Stage 2 setup, and that is asking for stock airbox, 93 octane, and turbo back. Which I have right now, minus the stock airbox.

    Overall opinions, should I return and get my 200+ dollars for the short ram and revert to stock airbox?

    I'd say yes. The Typhoon probably isn't adding any power at all, might even reduce it because of the intake location, and is not recommend for AP Stage 2.

    yeah, you really can't go wrong with the stock airbox.
    I **think** it's been proven that it's the best thing until you go to
    a much bigger turbo.

    You could always look into getting a Green filter for the stock airbox
    if you still wanted the better filter element.

    I agree with the above...hopefully you can get some $ back on that K&N, in the form of a decent private sale...

    Whos providing the refund?
     

  9. Nobody local, an ebay seller I know and have a business partnership with offered it to me at time of purchase.


    Since I answered, why the inquiry? Think Im being dishonest with a shop? If so, that isnt me.
