K&N Typhoon w/ FMIC

wan2gofast · 02-15-2005, 06:50 AM

I was wondering am i going to have issues using this intake with a FMIC. If so are there any ICs that i will not have a problem using this intake.
Thanks for your help

I have an FMIC, and I've seen the Typhoon on other cars. I don't see any way you could use an FMIC with the typhoon without serious mods to at least the heat shield thing that comes with the typhoon. That blocks the area where the FMIC tubes go into the fender well.

It's a shame, because the typhoon seems like a really nice piece of hardware.

i'm bumming about the prospect of losing typhoon myself. the aps dr750 and their cai seems like the best combo to me.

I have seen a couple posts on this, there is a guy with a pic of the typhoon with his D/R 725

no. the change to an fmic will be accompanied by a turbo, headers, etc.

APS short ram intake fits the APS FMIC.
K&N short ram = APS short ram

therefore
K&N fits APS FMIC

its gonna be a tight fit, but it will work. Thats the setup I will be using. But ofcourse you have to do without the heatshield

Apex'i intake fits the TXS FMIC v2

i just contacted perrin about their FMIC and fitment w/ the K&N and here is their response.

justin,

Thanks for asking and thank you for your purchases. The tubes may
interfere with the K&N intake. (Especially with their new air box
cover.) You will probably find this problem with many intake systems
that utilize hard tubes and shields. Ours (as well as many others) will
work without problem.

The installation does not require cutting of the bumper beam, sheet
metal etc. and the only trimming is to plastic on the inner face of the
bumper skin. This definitely something you can do at home.

If we can help further please let us know.

Thanks again.

bump.

Some say it doesn't fit, some say they've seen pictures of it fitting...

Does anyone have pictures of a K&N Typhoon with a FMIC?

Look at it this way... if your upgrading to a FMIC... then go ahead and try the intake you already have, and then if it doesn't fit... get a new one. You can always give it a shot and then post pics so we all know for sure.

Anyone have any pics yet?

I've personally a seen typhoon w/ a perrin front mount on a 05. so yes it does fit, but it might take a lil modding of the heatshield.
