jimmy1280 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Guys looking at fitting a typhoon K&N are these good? Is there anything else people can say are better I have a 2007 HR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Purely for noise and looks. They offer no performance gains at all, and many infact suffer from heat soak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 If you want some noise then yes .... But you will loose a few horses . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbs Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Well worth it though for the noise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy1280 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 I thought this may be the case thanks I have a heavy roadster so I'm not loosing any power, should put my £300 to an exhaust system then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy james Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 One of my first mods along with a back box. As Lexx said not a lot to be gained especially if you don't get the car upreved. I have to say the induction roar on the K and N is really good!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I thought this may be the case thanks I have a heavy roadster so I'm not loosing any power, should put my £300 to an exhaust system then Definitely put the money towards an exhaust system instead imo. It will sound a lot better & also actually give you a decent gain over OEM if you do get an UpRev done one day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 A decent panel filter set like the HKS that we offer and exhaust would be better for more noise... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MITZ@CougarStore Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Jimmy, depends what and how much sound you're after, oh and of course budget too as systems start from £400 through to over £1000.00, you can have a cat back system or just middle and rear too, let us know your requirements and I'll put some options your way...

jimmy1280 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Ok great I'm looking for a little more noise than the OEM and also get rid of the annoying rasp budget I hadn't really thought but I want it to be right if you know what I mean send me some details over on what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I'll send you some info over... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys for the input it seems the system is the way forward, CS what will a good system set me back? I like recommendations:-) Oooh I like this game. Cobra for lower budget ~ great looks and by all accounts a lovely sound. Magnaflow/Buddy Club for middle range ~ know very little about these. Milltek/Invidia Gemini for upper range ~ Invidia Gemini is a true dual system, fantastic quality & amazing sound. I have one of those so am slightly biased. Ark/Motordyne/Borla or Stillen in the money to burn range ~ amazing systems with orgasmic sound. Cs will sort you out I'm sure.

GMballistic Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Lol I can sense the excitement G it's great int it, boys and their toys hey :-) Just wait till you get one fitted. I bought Berks HFC's and the Invidia Gemini exhaust system for mine at first, ...spent ages just driving around with the window down listening to the sound. You'd never have the roof up again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaveney Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Iv got a Typhoon on my DE and just had the car Uprev Inlet temp went up and up on each run and it was losing BHP over the stock set up . Saying that the noise is worth every - BHP loss IMO And it does look rather good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
