K&n Typhoon

[R6TH M]

I know this has probably been asked before, i done a search and returned an error or somethin silly.

Has anyone got one of these filters on their t sport? If so whats your opinions on it, any increased performance at all? Is it worth the extra money?

Originally wanted an apexi but i heard theyve gone bust! Dont know what other filter id go for

[siray123]

The performance is very slighly better *just* than an apexi (IMO), you see the k&n gets relocated down at the bottom so theres cold air it has a stainless steel pipe attached to it.

There about £180.

Cmarshall has one on his car :P , and lee had one.

[R6TH M]

cheers anyone else??

and what do they sound like, had a k&n 57i on my clio 1.2 and it was about as good as u could get for a 1.2

oh and are they a dry or wet filter?

[RossP]

Apexi gone bust?? I do doubt that somehow but anyway! Yeh I've heard good things about the typhoon, but there are plenty of other makes out and about, best to shop around a bit first

[Woody27]

How about the Envy Filter? its on a long pipe to relocate it like the K&N, its got a jap DRY filter on the end, is £140 and looks BLING! (i will not be held reponsible for use of that word) Check the Envy section for piccys of the beast!

[R6TH M]

im right in saying i need a dry filter cos it messes somethin up??

[jaxx]

whol told you apexi have gone bust! go and give them a slap regardless!

the KN is a wet type filter, and potentially the oil can spatter on the MAP sensor and bugger it up

get the Apexi or the ENVY one

[cmarshall]

I got the k&n, feels a lot better to the apexi imo. Didnt know it was an oil filter, how often and how do i clean the thing, and wheres a good place to get the oil? D'oh

[jaxx]

i stand corrected

APEXi have gone bankrupt!

[Kerby]

the k&n typhoo for the yaris is a dry filter, andy had it on his car

[Chyownster]

courtesy of us :) The one that Andy got was one of first avaiable. Drunk fuel tho

[cmarshall]

Strange... my fuel economy seems better than ever, did 100 miles on 1 bar of fuel (the second bar from the bottom), im not complaining :D

[Chyownster]

i just took andys word for it :)

[Johnny boy!]

For perforamnce what is the best thing to do to a T-sport? Just sold a 172Cup and have bought my second Yaris. Lookin to get some go faster bits, and the Typhoon looks well smart. :)

[siray123]

heres a good list the only things you can get it is

*decat system frome nvy

*manifold from envy

*k*n typhoon

*perrrin crank pulley

*back seats out

then it wont be far off your clio 172, but not as fast

[Chuck04]

a fair bit off u mean !! those 172s are nippy even with those mods you'll be strugling

[Johnny boy!]

The clio was a very quick car, it done a 1/4 in 14.79secs. It was very unreliable tho. My last Yaris was bomb proof, so hopefully this one will be no different :)

[R6TH M]

johnny we'll have to get some pics of the t sports together sometime! ! lol

[Ryan1985]

AFAIK, every K&N is a wet type filter and when I had my Pipercross is buggered up my MAF sensor! :(

I'd still go for the A'PEXi, you'll probably still be able to get one!

[cmarshall]

Looked at my typhoon it is a dry type filter and is much better than the apexi

[Ryan1985]

and is much better than the apexi

What is that opinion based on? ;)

[seveer unaek]

Looked at my typhoon it is a dry type filter and is much better than the apexi

How do you know it's a dry-type??

Especially when all K&N filters are 'washable, re-usable filters requiring maintenance every 10,000 miles'

You have a drycharger with it which repells water, but the main 'cone' needs a clean every 10,000 miles and a re-oil.

Comes rom K&N themselves!

[cmarshall]

and is much better than the apexi

What is that opinion based on? ;)

Better quality, much better fitment, better throttle response and performance, I have owned both and would never go back to the apexi

[Ryan1985]

much better fitment

Did you fit the A'PEXi correctly with both brackets? My brothers seems fine!

Better quality, that would be a matter of opinion!

[cmarshall]

Yes i did, the plastic part that the induction kit fits on to is a lot stronger on the p2's as my mates didnt move as much, as an engineer i would say the quality is better without a doubt
