I would bet that you could find some thermal tape that would seal up most of the leaks around the intake. It would be helpfull if you could do some OBDII testing to check before / after IATs.

Hmm, that's a great idea, I might try that - thanks Gernby! I would love to do the OBDII testing, but I don't have a scan tool...

Any idea of when we can see a dyno chart of this intake on your car?

I posted a video on youtube here. I'll have to edit my initial review to include the video. The dynograph can be seen here. It's not a comparison before/after dynograph, just a new baseline after I installed the K&N and Tanabe.

Javier

UPDATE: I've updated the initial impressions on the first page with new pictures and links to the dyno session and video clips.

The cheapest I found the K&N typhoon intake was at this site http://www.4filters.com/view_cart.asp I think its at $231.00 including shipping. Hope I was able to answer your questions. Good Luck!
