Will keep an eye on it over the next 3-5 days to see how gas mileage is and if performance goes south like the aircharger did for me.

Nate33.....How are you liking the typhoon? Like I said before hopefully you just had a defective aircharger before. I hope the typhoon is working out for you.

Typhoon vs Aircharger update...
So far so good with the Typhoon.
~ The sound is great...not as loud as the aircharger it seems to me but it is definitely noticable.
~ The performance so far seems great. Much more responsive vs the stock and seems better than the aircharger (when it was running ok, which wasnt long)
~ Gas Mileage so far seems to be good....I know everyone else is probably in the same boat when I say that its hard to lay off that pedal sometimes. But gas mileage with aircharger was just plain awful.
~ The chrome look is also growing on me.

Going to wait the rest of the week before I get back to guys @ K&N and give them update on it. They have been pretty good with helping me out.

So it seems at this time I had a one off situation with my aircharger.

Thanks all for the input on this bad boy...Next stop...Flowmaster

What kind of problems were you experiencing?

I just put a CAI Inc. over the Memorial Day holiday and I put a black mark on the right end of the MAF so I would not turn it the wrong direction when installing it in the new tube. Then you might know I took a good look at the MAF and there is an arrow on it that points toward the engine. Lots of luck. 2SS,6A n116ebo
