Yowza, 8.1hp.

 

Is that with the air induction system with an added K&N filter. I have a K&N filter on the cold air induction now and thought that was rated for like 4 HP.

 

K & N Typhoon is a compleate system- including a filter...

I put one on my fathers 03' 4Runner- and it made a HUGE difference

sounds great at WOT

 

I will buying one of those soon!!!

 

wow! 100 wheel hp

8hp is most definately a significant increase from just a cold air intake. I'd like to see someone on the boards replicate this to verify otherwise I won't be believing it coming from K&N's own website.

I dont know man K& N, I think would be somewhat reliable! IMO

 

Of course K&N is reliable but as far as supplying unbiased info, I'd rather see numbers from an independent source.

 

it isnt really 8.1 can you say cheating on the dyno?

 

well reguardless, for $179, sounds like a good deal to me. And what I love about k&N - there kits come with great instructions!

 

Are you guys talking about an intake for an Xa or an Xb, cause i just checked the k&n site and the only showed a typhoon intake for an Xa and the hp gain was only like 4.36

 

That is correct about 4.4 whp gain

 

no .... its for the xb.....

 

I have this and I paid less than $179. check out www.adventon.com for a better price.

 

and how were the power gains?

 

 

Yeah, the dyno chart says 8.1 WHP for the xB, the xA and tC have less WHP with the K&N- I have no idea why- but im not complaining!!

 

i too have the K&N..
any HP gains are barely noticeable...(3-4 hp at most and at peak gains). you really have to in tune with your ride to tell...it will sond diff, and people will think it feels better because it sounds better....

 

I noticed a little power gain but I would say that 8.1 is stretching it a little. I have the CAI and I do like it no complaints here. It's not to loud but it does have a nice tone.

 

there is another thread discussing the hoax thats being done with this graph...

notice the baseline stock was done at 1pm (the warm part of the day...)
and the performance run was 4 days later at 749 in the morning (much cooler air...)
