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.

K&N Short Ram makes the turbo pretty loud and definitely noticeable. Puts a :) on my face all the time.

this topic had been beaten to death.

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.

This is very true, I over tightened mine and crushed the crap out of it... Had to beat it back into an acceptable shape lol.

Yup k&n will do it, ull like

Have a K&N, can confirm.

I have the k&n typhoon and it sounds amazing :)

Best intake for LNFs.

K&N short ram intake. Buy it.

Does anyone have a AEM cold air intake?

My buddy had one and he liked it. He sold it for a K&N SRI though.

Best intake for our cars like I said lol

Cold airs suck.

Literally

Screw cold air intakes I wanna drive in water up to my chevy emblem. Because racecar.

Just ordered it. Can't wait to get it installed. Thanks all!

You won't be satisfied with the K&N alone. It needs a forge unit to go with.

And that is?

Forge bpv or forge vta. Check out some threads on forums and see what you think.

You don't need a Forge to go with it, my K&N is plenty loud alone.

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.

Yeah for me the k&n alone was enough was looking into the forge but ill use the money for something else instead, it all comes down to taste

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.
