You won't hear the turbo a whole lot more during regular driving. You will deff hear it sucking air in. You will deff hear the BPV ALL the time. I can granny shift from 2-3 and not be on it, automatic air show for any neighbor cars. It sounds like a vacuum at cold start up, lol. You will deff hear the turbo at WOT and it sounds so mean and aggressive. 2nd Best upgrade so far. Hands down.

Hearing the BPV all the time.... what does it sound like? a BOV or a little less obnoxious

I like the mean sound, but my car is still pretty much brand new to me and I want to get tired of it before i change it... does that make any sense? I dunno

Hahn or K/N you really cant go wrong, and you will see HAHN's for sale on this site for a decent price occasionally. I just sold mine to switch to a K/N/ Why? No real reason, the hahn was great, i put down 310/361 with that and just a catless DP, but im tired of taking my headlight on and off just to clean up filter (regardless if you go with SRI, if you swap to stock for a dealer visit or what not you have to take headlight off for stocker). The Hahn is loud, im looking forward to the SRI being louder

If I was just getting into it, i would get whatever is cheaper

K&N because they have specialized in intakes and air filters for centries and know exactly what ther are doing and it looks amazing and it fits perfectly!


enough said. Dont waiste money on a CAI you get rubbing issues adn that chance of sucking in water and its a pain to change or clean the filter

The Hydrolockin does happen, My buddies Kia Forte got flodded maybe a week after havin his lil intake on. It runs fine now, an I dont know what all he had to do to fix it, but I know he was bitchin bout it for a couple weeks lol

I jus got an Injen CAI in the mail today tho, After readin some of this, I guess K&N sri was the way to go huh? eh.. o well, I'm here now, an I got a nice price

Question tho, I praly wont get tuned until maybe spring, after I get my downpipe 2.. Should I just wait until then to put it on, or do you think I'll be fine puttin it on now???

O, an If yall were still lookin for a Hahn intake, there's like 3 up for sale right now.. look in the For sale section...

What on the cone do you use to determine placement?
