Hello everyone,
After reading about the K&N Typhoon Cold Air Intake System I decided to go with this modification.
I got the kit off Ebay for £171, it came in the polished silver colour, looking very nice, on the box it said it was for a Acura TSX 2004 - 20078, part number 69-0025.
The installation was straight forward, good instructions, apart from the fact that instructions show an air vent cover in the front bumper, but my Type S is slightly different in that it has fog lights integrated with this vent, so it doesn't clip off, this makes it a bit tricky to undo the back bolt holding the original resonator unit. I had to undo the screw holding the front bumper on this side and pull it just enough (as it is quite flexible) to get my hand in to undo this). Time for installation took about 1 and a half hours.
Under normal driving it sounds like a stock intake, but if you put your foot down, you hear this magnificent roar when the v-tech engages, which is pretty loud inside the car, not heard it from outside so don't know what pedestrians or other car users hear when you boot it.
Just one thing which isn't clear on the instructions is that the EVAP vent hose on my 2006 has a lower larger outlet and a small outlet above it, both these fit into the stock intake tube, but on the Typhoon, there is only a single connection point for the larger lower EVAP vent hose outlet, and the small outlet is left unconnected, is it ok to leave it like this or do I need to do anything with the smaller outlet?
Also, does this have any effect on fuel economy?
Thanks
