Default K&N Typhoon Install!

So my g/f got me a Typhoon air intake for Christmas. How hard is it to install? I had a Stillen in take on my FX35 and I took it apart to clean it and I reinstalled it. Should I attempt to do this myself or get a pro install?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Its a bolt-on, how hard can it be. Seems like you had some experience with intakes already.

the K&N typhoon is a DIY no doubt. should be instructions from the K&N site. I did it not too long ago. I'm looking to sell mine actually. slowly going back to stock.

Yeah, after the install yesterday I had just enough time to go for a short drive before people came over for a party, all I can say is wow. It took the car from a quiet sedan to a car that sounds like it means business. A great mod for sure.

Is the K& N Typhoon available for the 2008 GS? The K&N website isnt showing it as available for the 2008, only the replacement air filter.
Thanks.

Are you selling your K&N Typhoon? If so, how much? And will it fit my 2006 GS 430?
