Hi everyone,

I installed few days ago on my 2005 G6 Gt K&N Typhoon CAI ...this thing rips the roads now :banana:

Anywho...any of you out there with CAI get the whistling sound under faster
acceleration? my car sound under the hood like supercharger :banana:

There is HUGE HP boost...can't wait to take it in few weeks for ride to Florida from IL to see what the MPG is going to be under "Normal" driving

Lampoon

Ask Chris if his tune would correct the lean issues the Jet screenless MAF would cause....?

i was gonna hold off on a tune til i get a magnaflow cat-back, maybe i'll hold off on the MAF til then

So you didnt get the Jet? Thats good cause its a waste.
Why get the magnaflow....? You dont want dual outs?

I like the gt-r, and could change my mind still, but im not sure its worth buying the fascia, and i have a base model '05, the LX9 3500, so unless i buy a new engine with vvt i dont know if i can justify spending that much on it, especially when tuning the LX9 is a pain in the ass, there are no modules, at least that i've found

My K&N came with a black alluminum tube.

The one I saw was plastic. You sure its aliuminum?

waterfowler76

Yeah its black powder coated alluminum. its pretty nice im happy with it (doesnt mean im not kickin myself in the ass everyday because I wish I would have gotten CRABS) But the one thing I'm not happy with is the heatshield, doesnt really seal that great along the bottom (thats why I just ordered the CAB

)

Well cudos to K&N for that. Thats news to me. I was told plastic and
the one I looked at looked like plastic.

Yeah that heat shield looks like its off their F-150 line. Is it stretching your MAF wires
or is the heat shield damaging the paint where it sits? I read it bangs up and down there
and rubs the paint off. Its not like anyone looks at that paint in the engine bay but I was just curious.

Do you sell a 90 degree bend to go down just behind the bumper or do you only have it sitting behind the headlight? I saw one of the pictures on the crab website that someone has it that way and I'm just curious if he did that himself.

BTW. someone did a pretty good job with true fire on their engine cover

I'm practicing it, but I'm not all that great yet because I don't have time (

stupid work...).

No the wires are not stretched at all... they actually still have a little slack. But I dont like where they sit. With the way it mounts its pretty solid, there is no movement at all, so no it doesnt rub. But at the same time it just doesnt fit right.. theres a big gap towards the rear of the heat shield. I'll try to get some pics this weekend.

got a question for you..i have the same intake.. do you have a hole underneath the filter and can you keep it like that? or do you have to close it?

Lampoon

· #59 · Jun 26, 2009

That hole is where your air comes from. Remove that resonator under it so it frees up the air getting to your filter. Do not cover or plug it.

So...errr....Waterfowler....You liiiike?

Hows it feel to have CRABS!!! lol

· #60 · Jun 27, 2009

you should make a sticker with something like that lampoon. "Ask me about my CRABS" or "hear that? it's my CRABS"...ha
