I have heard that the new typhoon K&N is loud at WOT. How is this design different than others? I have one on order, but will not install if it is obnoxious.

Sound is very subjective for each person.

The K&N should be no louder than any of the other Cone-type intake systems currently available, e.g. LMS intake and Fujita intake.

If you are concerned about sound than the JOEZ pipe would be the most subtle change you can make to the intake system. It is barely noticeable under WOT.

Maybe you can ask around to some of the local members in your region and see if you can hear one of the cone-type intakes.

It's hard to imagine, with all the sound-deadening material in the IS, that you could ever find an engine to be "too loud", regardless of the intake.

I have the HKS drop in filter with the JoeZ and the combination is quite a bit louder than stock. I also removed the other filter from the air box. I like the sound myself. Reminds me of my old "four barrel" days.

good to know! I have the JOEZ as well, but no drop in filter and haven't touched the stock box and the difference between that and my friend's K&N was huge. You can really hear the K&N under WOT whereas the JOEZ was understated and you had to listen for a difference. Glad to hear you can make the JOEZ louder with a few simple changes.
