I am looking to grab a little extra punch out of my 2010 2.5s especially when trying to pass other vehicles..

I am looking at the K&N 69 Series Typhoon Intake Systems
(Estimated Horsepower Gain: 6.88 HP @ 4927 RPM)
Any opinions?? Thanks...

if you really want a little more "umph" id recomend the stillen header if your not worried about warranty (or smog) because you have to cut & extend an o2 sensor but u feel a world of a difference, or get the bully dog tuner a little more money but no warranty worries

intakes won't give you noticable power gains, go for an exhaust or header for more power. i believe the header gives about the same hp gains as a catback exhaust but at 1/5th the cost

unfortunately, stillen headers arent available yet for the 2010's :cry:

i was looking into the k&n intake also...about $270ish is the quote i got from the site (if i remember correctly). really?? not too much of a gain?

I recently installed the K&N intake, and i must say it's much better than the Fujita intake that i had. I'm installing my Stillen headers this Saturday and cant wait. :woot:

as far as I know, there's no difference in the engine bay for the 2010's, you should ask stillen, i think it would fit

I've been thinking about getting this intake as well...How long did the install take? Was it difficult?

I am not car savy so I asked my father to install. Took about an our and was pretty easy.. I think i would have been able to do it myself. Instructions included were very detailed.
