As mentioned in this thread I bought it in Singapore for approx $450sgd which equates to roughly $345-$360aud depending on exchange rate of the day. Brought it back by plane myself as check-in luggage (along with my food and various other bits). No issues with customs (item not declared as not required AFAIK). Weight isn't too heavy either but Qantas were generous considering I had 30+kg in economy. Installation approx $50 from BK.
Hey Jace is the K&N Typhoon CAI better than the Injen one??
How are any of those better than the stock Air intake valve that comes with the Honda Civic? Is it just more free flowing and a little more free flowing than a K&N airfilter?
1. Wouldn't know about the Injen one. No way to compare.
2. My understanding is that the pod filter, like any kind of aftermarket intake system is considerably more effective at getting air in, but the trade-off is the fact that it becomes hella more noisy in doing so. Unlike the K&N Panel Filter which had close to zero noticeable improvement, the Typhoon is very noticeable. Even the engine noise at idle is slightly different; but it really only kicks in at around 3000rpm++ and you really feel the difference.
I still remember when we first put it in, brand new, I was standing near it with the hood open, and then suddenly VROOOM!! and wow. It was quite a shocker! Never heard my innocent little Civic scream like that before.
No it just means that it won't do anything unless you are holding the accelerator down in such a way that the auto won't shift. It makes alot more sense when you actually drive with it everyday and learn to use it.
