^^ care to share? I'm guessing its something to remotely open the boot trunk... any pics?

It's an automated boot release by pressing twice on Unlock Door on the remote. Not bad for $80sgd (about 65aud?) incl. install in Singapore.

Just installed my Typhoon. It's OFF THE HOOOOKK! Has fixed all the problems I've felt with the performance of my car. Transition between gears feels so much smoother and it doesn't struggle anymore, especially when accelerating around corners and in particular overtaking. Quality of the sound is so much better like daytona. At full throttle I let my friend try it out and drive past me and I was blown away.

^ I think you and Jace have convinced me to go with the typhoon SRI and not Injen CAI... after readin the Bob_san saga I'm a little less keen on the CAI... even though rationally I don't see why there'd be a problem with the CAI.

Well... with a SRI there's a whole lot less that can go wrong. I would say next to no risk... just make sure that your filter hasn't had a hole burnt through etc. If the KnN typhoon has the air flow sensor (which of course it does) then it really isn't changing much from stock... just adding sound.. *perhaps* it might breather better.

well yeh it does make your car sound better and allows more air to be taken in.

but i've heard that since it takes more air in that it makes your engine dirtier more quickly.

not sure if that's something you want just for slightly better sound and performance (if any).

just my thoughts
