I decided to go with the Professional Products Typhoon intake for my car after reading the mid range gains in MM&FF. 11 rwhp isn't bad for a mostly stock car, which mine is not. I ordered mine in the satin finish from RPM Outlet (Read Bottom) because I didn't want to spend the extra cash for the bling. I got it and I must say that the finish was nice and it was designed pretty well. Installation took about three hours from start to finish, however when I went to start it up, it had a very rough idle and wouldn't run. Two weeks later and three different gasket sets, I was still having the same issue. I contacted Professional Products and the guys there were more than helpfull as they overnighted a new one along with new gaskets.
However when the new one came, one of the supports for the coils was broken. So I put in another call to Marco at PP and he again overnighted me one. The new one was the polished version and was 100%. I would definately reccommend the polished version, much nicer and it looks great under the hood. The most important part of this are the gaskets from Professional Products, you MUST use them. Finally, after three weeks of not having a car and a ton of frustration, the new went on and it works beautifully. The car pulls much harder between 2000-5000. For anyone looking for a intake that has a reasonable price and good quality it is a no brainer.
DO NOT order anything from RPM Outlet, after you give them money you are done. They wouldn't refund my money or even exchange it. They are never going to see my business again and I hope people on here heed my warning.
