Well guys, I just replaced my XTC front mount CAI with a K&N Typhoon intake and let me tell you, I was not prepared for the difference!!! I thought that the front mount would be superior since you got all of that air from the front, but no... big difference in sound and a little bit on the get up and go. If anyone is wondering which intake to get for an SS/SC, I would highly recommend it!

BTW, the front mount wasn't bad, I'll sell it for $65 shipped.

Okay, I have a question now... I just went into town and got a check engine light to pop up. It's throwing a lean code. Says "Lean to bank 1." Has anyone had this happen because I really hate check engine lights and it did this for about 2 days with my other intake. Just wanted to know if maybe the computer has to adapt to the new addition of air or something.

 

i dunno but my K&N never had any problems.

 

bump for k&n. I've had mine on for 15k no CEL.

 

That will be normal... give the ECU time to learn the more air and it will eventually stop comming on!

I had my K&N for 24k miles on my old 06 LSJ and loved it!

 

good to know. thanks. it went off for about 2 hours yesterday and then came back on. my fears are pretty much alleviated now.

 

So my brother-in-law needed an air intake for a 89 Grand Marquis and couldn't find one, so we took the old front mount intake and afro engineered it on just for laughs. Because that's what bored Arkansan's do...

Notice the Foam wrapping and the zip ties.

 

afro engineered....classic

that is pretty ghetto rigged....as far as the CEL, you might try cleaning your MAF sensor, oiled filters can cause issues..... not all the time, but you might have gotten one that was little over-oiled.

and yes, we Arkansans do get bored and tend to go toward the shade-tree mechanic route

 

it hasn't been oiled in a while. it's my old one. but yeah, it's a little ghetto, it's no worse than the soup can horn that's on it or whatever that is. it seems to be working well though.

 

lol nice

 

interfooler right there ftw!

 

took us all of 5 minutes. saved some room under the hood. lol.

 

I freaking loved my typhoon..

Loud as ***** .

I did eventually get a lean code though..

But i modded my car? Arent i supposed to get cels?

 

well, my next pics on here might be of his land rover. he plans on getting a snorkel intake on it.
