Hey everybody I just ordered the K&N Typhoon intake for my 2011 xB. I probably should have asked before the order but does anybody else have this intake and if you do what do you think? I ordered it from fastscions.com since they are a sponor of this site and the tech rep was great to work with. Thanks in advance I will post pictures once I get it in the mail and installed.

 

Love mine on my 2010 tc. Easy straight forward install. Mean sounding grunt on acceleration.

 

Quality product. I've got the typhoon on my tc too.

 

Can't wait to see installed pics buddy...I'm looking at getting this one.

 

Hey I received my intake yesterday day and I thought I would try and learn how to post pictures to my album and that work but I can't seem to figure out how to get them in the forum. Nonetheless I really like the quality of the product but I don't like the silver and the sticker is damaged. I will bringing it to the powder coating shop friday and will be getting it done in matte black or wrinkle black.

 

 

Wow those pictures came out large. Sorry about the junky cell phone pics.

 

Looks nice. Gonna need a sound or video clip for this. :D

 

looks like it might have been a used one. I'll be powdercoating mine SW when I get it!!

 

Can you tell me what the heatsheild is made of? Doesn't look metal from other pics but a corrugated plastic like material. Are you able to take a pic and perhaps measurements of the box itself? Thanks!!

 

No it wasn't used it was a careless packing job at the factory and it scratched up the sticker.

 

No it is metal and very sturdy at that. I will post some picture measurements soon.

 

So I haven't posted in a while since I have been swamped at work but it's ok since it landed me a promotion a hefty pay raise. I just picked up my intake tube from the powder coating shop and it turned out great. I had it done in a wrinkle black to match the heat sheild and I might do the install tonight still time permiting but definitely this weekend.

When I installed mine I found it was best to remove the battery, that made getting the shield into place so much easier.

 

Just got my Typhoon per UPS per Amazon: last one in stock & $232 w/free shipping
Heat shield is definitely 18-ga steel black crinlke finish. May have to look at a little thin reflective insulation though.

And, while I'm extracting the stock air box, picked up a short-throw QRD quickshift kit which install underneath. I'll post pics and first ride reviews asap.

 

Sweet!! Can't wait to see the finished pics buddy!!

 

Looks great! You will get addicted to the sound during WOT once you put it on :D

I spent $75 on a full cold air intake, and $5 on a can of crinkle black paint, but to each their own!
