K&n 69-4518ttk
Hey there.
Completely stock 08 SS. Just had a good mechanically sound and very smart friend install a tune from HP Tuners. Currently the car is running 22 PSI of boost and drops back to around 20 as RPM's reach redline. Now.. I do not drive the car hard. I just wanted the tune.
I'm looking at adding the K&N setup. Main reason? I want to hear that turbo spool. Is it true that the turbo will be heard more with the K&N filter setup? For many years I had an 87 Buick GN ( younger guys may not remember those cars:-) ). I loved hearing that turbo spool. I'm understanding that the car may require some tuning tweaks once the K&N is installed. True? Thoughts on my intentions??

I recommend the K&N SRI (Short Ram Intake). It does give you the pssst affect. You are recomended to tune your car with the SRI due to fuel trims and all that because you are getting more air compared to the stock air intake set up.

get the short ram intake system k and n makes. with the drop filter in you wont hear anything. also if you decide to go the short ram route BE CAREFUL WHEN TIGHTENING ALL OF THE CLAMPS. their cheap aluminum is as soft as hot butter.
you will need to tweak the tune a bit to get the full potential and correct the maf trims but other then that you will be fine.

True, the k&n alone is nice. But a forge vta with a k&n is a neck hurting head turner. I've gotten so many wtf's from average joe. And one thumb from another balt owner so far haha.

At this point I would settle for just receiving the K&N.. I ordered it last Thursday (8/28) from Jegs. I hadn't heard anything from them so I decided to call them tonight. Well.. It hadn't shipped. The factory is out of them and they weren't expecting it to ship until 9/16. To that I say "thanks for letting me know". I cancelled the order. I just ordered one through ebay and it should be here by 9/9. We will see.
