[EURO] drezy k&n typhoon adventures..

[drezy]

Hi Guys

Just wanna share with everyone this audio recording i made of a take off in the euro after recently installing k&n typhoon cai... i installed it with the help of my mate on saturday.. took roughly 2 hours... hardest part being trying to figure out how to take off the front bar to get to a bolt holding in the resonator...

anyways here it is AND I DO want to apologise in advance for the shit sound cos i recorded it in the spur of the moment with my k750i phone... lol

Can't wait for my K&N CAI now.

I think it sound normal... Cant really compare, unless you record the before and after....

The actual sound in the car will be different.

A stock Euro is pretty quiet. :)

That definitely sounds different than stock Euro, as aaronng said the stock sounds much quieter. Anyway, that sounds awesome! :thumbsup:

thanks guys for the positive feedback... im going to try and get a better more clearer and longer audio perhaps even a video clip ...!

Why do you have to remove the passenger side front wheel? When I removed the stock filter in my Celica, no need for removing it. I might be wrong though, Euro may have different way how to remove it.

ok you probably had a short ram intake, which means your pod in the engine bay... what i have is a CAI, cold air intake... the pod is mounted just behind the front bar, effectively allowing more cold air to enter rather than being in the hot engine bay... so in order to access that area i had to take of the wheel and even remove the front bar!!

Would have been a bit easier if it werent for the fog light, i probably wouldnt have had to take off the front bar... just a plastic cover.

i saw the pictures and thought you'd written off the car... what a mess lol

nice work on the install tho

Nice Job, mine installed last week.....awesome, sound will go louder when your VTEC kick in, i have been driven (stock intake) more than 1 year then upgraded, sure felt the different...:honda:

[Euro1011]

Nice job Drezy.

[EuroDude]

fark didnt know the K24A could sound like that! nice :p

[aaronng]

So are you tempted? It sounds even louder when in SRI mode.

[EuroDude]

^ well I might remove the resonator and see how that sounds first

[DOHCTR Coopz!]

niiiiicccee dreZy! now take me for a spin.... :D

[aaronng]

Nah, that doesn't make it sound better. I didn't like it and put part of the resonator back on.

[EuroDude]

Nah, that doesn't make it sound better. I didn't like it and put part of the resonator back on.

bummer. how about removing everything from the filter down? If thats at all possible.

[_CiVIC_]

sounds nice!! tempting me to get one... but i don't know how it would sound on an auto :(

[aaronng]

That's what I did. Doesn't sound good. Just louder.

[egSi]

hey drezy, is it ok if u post the pics/clip in here:

so ppl can check out yours ;) :thumbsup:

there is no need to loosen or remove the bumper.

just remove the tire, loosen the wheel well plastic and you can get it like that. only pita is the front bolt that holds the resonator but you can get that one by just slipping your hand up behind the fog light, it´s tight but a little patience goes a long way. took me abour 45min - 1hour to install.

[racerwannabe]

i've just installed one. The instructions came with the kit and it is also available on the K&N website. The instructions provided are quite clear and easy to follow.

Noise wise, i'm a little disappointed. I thought it was going to be louder. From idle to 3500rpm it sounds stock to me. You really need to rev it hard to hear it roar. Maybe im just a lil deaf :)

[Rein]

damn man i cant see the pic... somthing wrong.. i wanna see what it looks like

[ShAwNeX]

Which CAI is it? I remember seeing two types for the EURO. Also the link doesn't seem to work for me.

Thats how its suppose to be, and if u really wanted sound, u should of gone for an exhaust instead of intake.

i just installed the iNjen one on mine and just took off the front bar :) didn't have to touch the wheel
