Default K&N Typhoon for CHEAP!!!

Look what I found. According to K&N's website, the Typhoon CAI makes more power than the Injen intake and this site has it pretty cheap!

I got my Injen intake for $139. That price is pretty good for the K&N though :D

I dunno, but I think if you become a member of that site, you can get it even cheaper!!! I'm not sure how much cheaper but it says they give a member instant rebate so who knows....

They probably work on nothing but volume and have abosuletly no customer service.

That or its just some random guy using his entire extended family's houses for overhead.

I haven't heard one bad thing about Adventon yet.

To me, that means it's a great place to buy from, i would reccomend them!

I got mine from them. It was a special order from K&N and they called me in Texas that it would be a special order so it was a few days longer than in stock but I got it approximately 1 week and 1 day. At least I got a call and knew they wern't shipping immediately. Maybe they have them in stock now, but the price was the same.

I recommend them.

Intakes are totally worth what they cost. Especially on a four banger. You'll for sure notice a increase in power and throttle response. Plus they sound totally kick ___!!!

Default K&N cai

I installed mine last week. I bought it from Adventon. I went to pick it up on a Friday. They're good peeps at Adventon, I was late because of traffic and still waited for me. When I got there, the guy at the shop was already outside closing shop. He opened up the shop for me and got me going.

The intake sounds great! And yes, I can feeeel it It does add some power to the car.
