UPDATE: The nylon plastic fittings that come with the K&N intake are not very durable! Granted, part of the problem in my case is that I had to buy a different hose, and since my hose doesn't come prebent (FYI: prebent hoses are that way to mitigate/absorb torsional motion during driving which...

To be blunt: I prefer the horsepower. The saying "there is no replacement for displacement" is where this engine is at its weakest: top-speed. It's got a mad dash to 60, but it actually loses a lot of steam compared to my old 5.3L V8 when it comes to approaching the triple digits. Thus, even...

Most intakes do: a factory intake is a lower flow volume which makes drawing air through the intake easier. Think of how you breath versus if you forced yourself through a straw. If you inhale slowly, the air coming in the straw is going to be faster than if you breathe in slowly from your...

Well shi- I planned on doing this myself in the garage as well. I've been peaking around down there planning it out, and I also noticed the front lacked the two bolts at the bottom that I'm also used to on MacPhersons. It also eliminates the possibility of a camber bolt which is making me...

Those numbers... 445WHP [burnout] This is now on my list. I hope the pricing can be fair and flexible and not tear me a new one... [^]

Yeaaaa, see that kills it for me because it will always bother me, lol... If they can fix that, I'd consider it as a "mild" intercooler upgrade option. Right now, I'm just in a holding pattern since there's really nothing in between this and fairly larger intercoolers.

Isn't that the one where the pics show it mounted off-center? Does yours mount centered instead of like the pics on the product page on K8 Stinger Store?

So you got a little over 12WHP from the K&N Intake. It's nice to know that they were conservative with their dyno, lol Though, the bone stock hitting 356WHP is a little strange indeed... Dynojets are putting out dyno numbers rating the Stinger GT at well over 400HP stock. I don't know whether...

My issue so far is that the intercooler options are either marginally better than stock or just too massive and aggressive. There needs to be a middle-road intercooler. One that's merely an inch taller and an inch wider. Call it a "mild" intercooler, if you will. I'm not looking to add too...

Depends on where you live: if there's an inspection, you won't pass. If you're unlucky, you won't pass the tailpipe test depending on your other mods, either. I saved my factory downpipes: it's a simple bolt-off bolt-on process to swap the factory ones back on when smog time comes around in 7...

Not sure if you saw, but the person above just answered it. You won't throw any codes. The secondary cats are specifically to further reduce tailpipe emissions and the engine doesn't read any data from these two at all.

Dude, just pull up the thread on your cell phone, lol

UPDATE - PICS GALORE ADDED! See notes above each pic for information if/when applicable. Insulation Wrap (Bottom) Insulation Wrap (Complete) Metallic Fleck Intake Tubing Paint Intakes Installed Extended Weatherstripping - You'll notice some "indentation" on the weather stripping...

There won't be any for the downpipe. I do plan on getting a baseline dyno done in the not-too-distant future, and I'll be recording it for sound clips, of course [:o] The picture is definitely there... [8]

Uhhh, that's weird, the photo got removed... Let me try to re-attach it. It was there, though, I swear... O.o Per my first major thread, Magnaflow, lol

I'm not pulling a Stillen, but I said I'd have the pics posted in a few days, but I'll have to get them all posted tomorrow. I DID take pics, though! I just wanted to apologize for anyone that is checking this thread to see my insulation and weatherstripping to plan out their own. [:o]

Sooo, I'm a little slow getting the K&N Intake pics posted mostly because I wanted that 400HP mark... I had my exhaust guy slap together some piping I picked out from Summit Racing and do a 2-cat delete (as we all know, there are 4 cats: two bolted to the turbos, and two bolted at the ends of...

Yo, I have a legit question as a person who doesn't fully understand WMI kits... Does it need to be installed so close to the throttle body/intake manifold? If the purpose of alky injection is to atomize/vaporize the alcohol (a process that draws its energy, or heat, from the surrounding...

I'm also working on the pics, so in the next few days everyone will have some ideas on how to "seal" and insulate their K&N Typhoon intakes should they go this route [:o]
