Okay, so last night I installed my K&N Typhoon CAI 
My observations are as follows:
#1 The car seems quieter than my SRI, which is odd considering that everybody kept saying louder is not always faster. Is this observation made over a stock set up?
#2 The power curve I am receiving now seems much more linear than with my SRI. No noticeable gain, but just seems more constant, where my SRI almost seemed to have a powerband. Course I could just be smokin crack too... lol
I'm much happier with it however, over my Ebay SRI. My Ebay SRI contacted my brake master cylinder becuase the tube was too large. This one makes a contact somewhere in when first engaging the clutch in reverse, so will have to find out where that is coming from. Definitely not as bad as my SRI though, which had dented the tube some.
That's it, and since I know others have posted pics of this set up, I will not worry about uploading any.
