Sup all

planning on getting the F sport exhaust and the dealer offered me a deal with a K&N Typhoon Intake with it (both used)

any feedback on the intake or the combination of both?

thanks in avdance fam

My $0.02 would be to get the exhaust system if it is installed by the dealer, in good condition, and at a good used price. Skip the intake altogether. Those oily filters will actually gum-up your intake system and mass airflow sensor faster and they often have a considerably more open weave that lets more fine dirt particles through. OEM air filters will do a better job of keeping your intake system cleaner over time and, thus, your car more reliable, albeit at a slightly more restrictive air intake rate. You won't notice a performance difference with an intake system either way, IMO.

Make sure the dealer installs the systems so that you benefit from their own dealer installation warranty, just in case the O2 sensors, mass airflow sensor, etc., throw any codes later on. Those kind of problems don't usually crop up right away.

aye bro, thanks a lot
i was actually planning to raise the question about reliability and cost on car's performance.

thanks man

No problem bro. Also, if you do buy aftermarket systems, make sure to keep all the existing OEM parts, nuts, bolts, hangers, gaskets, etc., unless the dealer will buy the system back from you. That way if you ever need to re-install them, for whatever the reason, you have the parts.

I've run K&N Intakes on multiple past vehicles (all with mass airflow sensors) and never had a single issue. Everything from little 4 bangers to my 5.7 V8 HEMI Jeep. All ran like champs and never threw any error codes. If you're getting a good deal on the intake, I'd say go for it and I'm speaking from actual experience. That's my .02 ...

Ayee, thanks a lot bro!
The deal was so so in the end, he was offering 400$ for the intake and 1600$ for the used exhaust (which was why I ended up not going with the deal).
I found my own F Sport Exhaust, i'll check if I'll be going in for an aftermarket intake in the near future and keep your words in mind fam

Yeah that's pricey for a used F Sport exhaust and you did the right thing to walk away. I've had no issues with K&N filters (running it currently in my RCF).
