Howdy,

Just wanted to know what people thought when they wacked in a Phoon airbox in place of the stock turbs one.

Was there a noticeable increase?

Worth the spend?

Where can I get one for a decent price?

Cheers in advance.

That's not the answer I was hoping for :D . Gee, with a K&N, SS induction and the secondary intake, I would have thought there would have been some noticeable improvement.

To be honest they already have 240kw so you probably won't notice another couple. Take it out for a drive on a chilly night, there's a good performance boost :)

Well I guess you find there's not much restriction there then. But seriously for $50 what are you expecting?

I fitted a phoon intake to my XT and expected nothing, but it seems to go a bit better, more responcive and all that.

I'd rather use a Dose pipe and Bellmouth compared to a typhoon airbox. And I'm not joking about that either.

ive got a small piece of alloy pipe, bent at 75deg from the turbo to a custom alloy air box housing a k & n pod, made s**t of difference especially up top, but now my car sounds like a stupid vl with dose you can hear for kilometers.
