alright guys i have a 96gt. i am doing a ton of mods right now including a intercooler, bigger throttle body, long tubes, h-pipe, tune, ect. i have stock intake right now and i want something better. i know bout the bullit intake and others as well. but i really dont want to spend that much. i only want to make 500 hp. no more! so, what i really want to know is the typhoon intake any good. i see i can port and polish myself if i want, and it seems alright. what do you guys think? also if i get it on the npi cars there are 2 coolant sensors and pi cars only have one. what are u npi guys doing with the other sensor since the intakes only have one port on them for the pi cars? thank you for any input.:SNSign:

Get a Bullit intake instead. It will make more power. Plus the Typhoon is made in China.

If you can wait around a month, the Trickflow intake will be out

As for the extra sensor, you have to tap the manifold so it'll have somewhere to go

Latest word on TrickFlow is June. Also, per the current design (which may be a total tear-up) you'd have to mount your alternator backwards. Not good.
And for $600 for the lower and $200 for the upper, I think you'd be far better of going with a Bullitt kit. I just sold one for $925 shipped, and it was complete....alternator, fuel rails, the whole kit and kaboodle.

Anyhow, the Typhoon is known to have sealing issues. The "pan" flange on the underside only uses 6 bolts, which is totally inadequate for a flange of that size.

The Hardball'r looks like a better option (than the Typhoon), but it needs some massaging also. The runner bellmouths should really be smoothed out to as generous of a radius that can be achieved, especially with FI combos. Other than that, my initial impression of it is that is a decent replacement for the stocker if you're planning on NO2 or getting blown. But do the refinements prior to installing it.

Not to be rude,but if you use the search feature,you should be able to find a few topics on the Typhoon intake.
It seems to be one of those subjects that is beat to death on questions when they have been answered on numerous occassions already,and wih proof too.
But to sum it all up,don't waste your money.You stated you didn't want to spend lots,well not buying that intake is a start.

Just checked out the "search" area for typhoon, and 99.9% are for the 5.0 engine and their prob. Really no info to speak of for the 4.6

Thanks, I did not see these when I went to the archives. No I did not spend any money on this paperweight. Was just looking for a update on old info.
Thanks again.
