Hey I got my tC a little while back and while looking for some good upgrades I came across this site. So umm hello everyone.

Anyways to the point of the topic. I was considering installing the K&N Typhoon™ Air Intake System, basically because its the only one that passes emission inspections. The only problem is that I can only order one for an 07 and guess what, I have an 08. I realize that in most cases this would be a problem but since the MAF sensor did not change between the 07 and 08 I shouldnt have a problem right?

Hoping to get some good feedback because I really want to install a new intake, the stock one sucks.

Oh and when I searched the only thing I found was a guy who tried to instal an 06 intake on his 07. Everyone there said it was his MAF snesor. I am not 100% on the MAF snesor being the same on 07 and 08 tc's either so an help on this subject would be great.

07-08 is the same, besides cosmetic changes.

Ive got the Injen CAI, and it works perfectly, no CEL. Hope this helps

I hope your right because I hate putting stuff in my car only to find out that there is some b/s error and I have to retun it.

the MAF change was between '06 and below... to '07 and above.

your '08 is the same as the '07.

is it really worth going through the hassle for something that will get you next to nothing? same as stock basically i believe

^^^well according to the K&N website it gives an 8hp gain and well from all the videos and posts I've seen it makes the car sound a hell of a lot nicer. I already have the TRD exhaust and from what I've seen/heard it needs to be paired with a nice new intake to sound really good.

well... you are paying more for the sound than power..

but ya.. it does increase it only slightly.

Ok so now I cant decide. I either want the K&N or the Injen.

The K&N is only $247 here

But the Injen on only $285 here:

I live in New York so I dont really have to worry about CARB exeption but I do have to woory about rain. So I will bo going SR and not the full CAI,(I know I shouldnt worry about hydrolock but I am way to **** about my car). That being said I am leaning more towards the K&N just because there is a heat sheild(not that its helps a lot but it cant hurt). Both companies produce hight quality stuff so I dont know what to pick. Injen does have a great record by users on this site so I know a lot of you are going to tell me to go with that. My question is, is anyone running the K&N or am I the only one even looking at it, and for anyone who might want to speak up which do you feel would be better overall?
