I get 30 KMs more with my injen CAI =D
Hmm, anyone else had increase fuel consumption with the typhoon?
yeh i think i have slightly less milage as well...and some low end loss...not sure for you guys but that's what i found...i drive manual fd1...
I'm getting that too... maybe we are addicted to the higher-rpm sound? *shrugs*Quote:

it's killing me with the combination or the high price of petrol, especially since I use premium unleaded and have lots of hills and 80km speed zones that I go through. I agree Jase, I was thinking that I was doing more RPMs to get that sound and maybe doing 6000 RPM per gear change is injecting that engine through the free flowing filter with a little too much petrol.
Amazon have the fd1 k&N sri (typhoon) for US$166 .. but they won't ship to australia :(
I'm looking at getting one if I can find it cheap... if not I'll have to chose between a exhaust system and mugen replica kit.
K&N is pretty much useless...
Why dont you get the AEM or Injen? SRI or CAI?Quote:
