I have one of these that I don't plan on using, as I've read that the cobb stage 2 may not like CAI's

hey guys I JUST got this thing yesterday and installed it yesterday evening.
I'll get a chance to do some logging on sunday. I did take a digital caliper to the tube - it's 65mm. Also, I got this email from K&N regarding the product: Quote:

hey guys. My life has been extraordinarily busy the past few weeks. Can you say 72hr work weeks and nightshift, to boot?
anyway, I finally got the K&N Typhoon installed as well as the TurboXS Tuna that I had from my WRX. To answer Abe Froman's question, yes the stock is 65mm as well which bodes well for the Typhoon's prospective AFR characteristics. I haven't logged the Tuna's wideband readings (because I don't have an rpm pickup nor a utec to provide rpm data) but I did do lots of observation. At idle, of course, it runs a very steady 14.7. At onset of WOT, it quickly drops to about 13.5 then rapidly reaches 10.5 (as boost reaches 15psi). At 4000-4500 the AFR drops down to around 10.3 and then begins climbing again and by redline it's a nice steady 10.6. That looks good to me! As far as driving characteristics, around town, it presents NO herky-jerky throttle response and always feels ready to spool. At WOT, it does feel more open, but like any intake without tuning, any gains would be small. It mostly just seems more "ready to pounce" if that makes sense. It DOES have more pull as it approaches redline than it did with the stock intake. That much I'm sure of. The kit is very comprehensive and includes a lot of small parts that, when assembled, look very good and professional. The kit works great. The nice thing about this kit, as many may have noticed, is it's a baffled shortram. The reasons this is good are: -filter is in engine bay so it's easy to clean/change -shorter tube has less flow-inertia so it has better throttle response -baffle keeps engine heat out so you don't have skyrocketing intake temps I'm a very satisfied customer! |

What kind of material is the baffle made of? I'd really like to see if I can make something to work with my shorty.

dammit the quickquote function isn't working <grumble>
grippgoat - i paid $239 from summitracing.com. It's special order for them. I have also seen them advertised at teaguesauto.com Abe Froman - power wise, i only have this intake and a TurboXS Turboback (magnaflow+hiflowcat) bigbobchamp - the baffle is made of thin sheet steel and has larger rubber-tube "gaskets" across the top to seal against the hood and then one small section (right next to the remote coolant tank) has a piece of thermal-reflective padding on it. |

nhluhr, wondering which you like better the APS cai or the K&N baffled short ram. I will have a utec, and an SR40 turbo,downpipe,injectors,fuel pump. Thanks.

Thanks for the info nhluhr, sounds like they did their homework. Sidebar: Did your peak boost go up at all with the TXS catback?

This is pretty much identical to how the boost behaved with just the turboback before I did the intake. edit - I should add that I have not at any point observed any creep whatsoever in my car. I am fairly sure that my VF39 is one of those equipped with the P18 exhaust housing but I haven't verified it yet so when I'm in there this weekend I'll take a close look and find out for sure. |

nhluhr, I am not really interested in purchasing any FMIC so it looks like the short ram is perfect for me. Thanks for all your research!
