Just spoke with a sales rep at AEM (5/5/09). The guy said the company is looking into an intake for the car but don't expect anything for a few months. I mentioned that I would call back at the end of summer, August'ish and he said that might be a little early. THought I would share the info with ya'll.

I have been strongly looking at the K&N,,,, there is a thread on here under "performance modifications"- some one has installed the intake, said the car immidiatly shut off after innitial start-up(makes me wonder).
Can't find anyone on the net that has the Borla installed. Thier site claims about an 80% increase in water flow on a hydrojet(?) Looked at picking one up- $300 cheaper and can pick one up locally, but no one around here will install the off-road only version.

Here is a quote from the tread mentioned above-

"I live in Orange county, CA. Installed the typhoon kit tonight. I am considering making a video so you can listen to the car. I will look to see if there is a video of what it sounded like before. I need to ask my co-worker to bring his "small G-force performance" meter device for me to test the 0-60 mph time. We have a few previous runs for us to compare the new runs with. If anyone has any questions let me know.

The k&n website has been really unstable the last few weeks. I watched the video a few times before I installed it. It was easy. There was a small issue with my kit. It was missing the vacuum plug. I just put a screw in the small hose it already had so that was easy. When I first turned on the car it quickly shut off. Second ignition attempt worked and I test drove it. I also have new tires, the Michelin All Season with the 45000 warranty http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin...=CAOINT&cs=255 . Not sure how much I like them since I just installed them 5/1/2009. I was able to get the typhoon kit for $301."
