why would you need to undo the piping when it rains? the typhhon has a drycharger to prevent rain from getting into it, grnated it wont stop a ford or floods but it does work in the rain.
#17: Re: k & n typhoon induction Author: Big_Rich180, Posted: Tue Aug 17, 2010 5:46 am ---- Must be a bit of a p**s take to put that on while its raining though..or does it stay on all the time?
#18: Re: k & n typhoon induction Author: Kersh, Location: Bridgnorth, Nr WolverhamptonPosted: Tue Aug 17, 2010 5:50 am ---- stays on all the time, doesnt reduce airflow apparently so it just sits over the filter. definitely works as it absolutley pounded it down the other day and i was caught out in it. didnt take in any water so its a thumbs up from me

So (not aiming this at you) why didnt they just sell it with that on if it doesnt make any difference to performance.
#20: Re: k & n typhoon induction Author: Kersh, Location: Bridgnorth, Nr WolverhamptonPosted: Tue Aug 17, 2010 5:52 am ---- they do. it comes in the kit. which is why i was unsure as to why that guy was on about unclipping it in the rain

I had a standard air box with a pannel filter and now the typhoon. The typhoon sorted out a couple of dead spot between 3000-4000 and just after 4000. I didn't notice any pulling issues at lower RPM as Big_Rich 180 stated.

I didnt state anything about a K&N Typhoon.

Anyone who knows anything about performance will tell you induction kits are sh*t, i had one on my 180 for about a week and it lost all its low end pull, sounded good but thats it, standard airbox and pannel filter is the best thing for performance, other than ITB's but thats a bit over the top.
My mistake. You said induction kit and the typhoon is an induction kit. Quite popular an thats what I thought!!

I was telling about an experiance i had with an induction kit, last time a subject like this came up people hated induction kits and now people seem to like them , either way the original poster has 2 sides of an argument to help (or not) him decide what he wants to do.
#25: Re: k & n typhoon induction Author: Kersh, Location: Bridgnorth, Nr WolverhamptonPosted: Tue Aug 17, 2010 8:44 am ---- and very helpful it is!! i think im going to stick with it for now. seems that it has no real benefits or issues other than the improvement in sound but as it cost me nothing and is already fitted ill leave it on.

If is cost you nothing and its already fitted then its probably the best idea to leave it on, saves messing around

Missed that detail out, mine didnt come with a dry charger (2nd hand kit) and at £35 to buy one i just sold the kit on after a day. No such thing with the Pipercross though, just the inlet trumpet..
#28: Re: k & n typhoon induction Author: Big_Rich180, Posted: Tue Aug 17, 2010 12:38 pm ---- I like the fact the pipercross is enclosed but i still wouldnt have either.
#29: Re: k & n typhoon induction Author: DUBLINHITMAN, Location: IRELANDPosted: Tue Aug 24, 2010 12:49 pm ---- I stuck a k&n cone on the other day
fook me the induction roar is serious
but after a little run on a private road
it felt a little hot
but that's because it was just stuck on
I'm going to invest in the typhoon by k&n
or the itg inclosed air box thingy
I couldn't see the 180gti listed thou would the normal gti fit the 180 ??
#30: Re: k & n typhoon induction Author: Sparx206xsi, Location: South LondonPosted: Wed Apr 04, 2012 9:49 am ---- Hey guys. Ive got a typhoon kit boxed and ready to be fitted. Jus wanted to know if its an improvement over the standard air system? I've got a 03 xsi 1.6 16v and have heard it improves rev response majorly as the stock set up is very restrictive. I'm not expecting mass bhp increase but a quicker, smoother ride would be nice. What do you guys think/know?
