BladesGrant Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I have recently fitted a K&N typhoon and don't seem to be able to notice much noise difference. Do you think I could have done something wrong while fitting? There is definately an increase in throttle response and there doesn't appear to be any air leaks (no engine management lights either). The only thing I can think of is that my pipe from the scoop doesn't go into the heat shield casing, there is a slight gap which may be resulting in me losing some of the air flow. Do other peoples make a good noise and does your scoop pipe go right into the heat shield? Mine is a 2003 so only the single version for reference.

rtbiscuit Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 to be honest its only vaguly noticable over 4k rev and under heavy throttle. when added to an exhasut its more noticable. as for fitting its the same as mine so don't worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 What are you comparing it too? Mine makes a noise, louder than stock and close to the popcharger... An not running the box though at the moment!! Something I wouldnt recommend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladesGrant Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 Not comparing it to anything and I haven't really put the hammer down since fitting so thats probably why I haven't noticed that much. I do think it sounds different but I think I have got used to it fast or can't remember what it sounded like before. Hopefully will notice more when I fit a plenum and exhaust. Thanks for confirming the fit as well, didn't think it could be any different as its all on the brackest properly. Did you have any issues with the MAF cable in terms of length? I have had to run my direct to the MAF sensor over the top of the intake tube which isn't very nice looking (and it only just reached doing that).

Chris`I Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 It wont be as loud as a pop charger as its incased in the shroud. You will only notice it above 4k RPM and even then its not massive. Get a plenum spacer and it will be quite a bit more noticable and replace exhaust and it will be even more noticable. Sounds like you've dont it all right to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
