Default Typhoon intake?

I've been looking into the professional products typhoon intake for a while. They claim to have similar horsepower gains in the top rpms to "a leading producer of aluminum intakes with ls6 type designs" and to produce an additional 17.7 horsepower at the wheels and the mid to lower rpms. Not to mention they look damn good. Does anyone on here have any experience with these intakes? Thanks guys.

Some people had good luck with them. Some people had a lot of problems with them when they first came out. I think most of it was poor machine work at first. It seems as if most, if not all, of the problems have been corrected.

Reason for selling? And how much? Also, would it work well with an 85mm throttle body on an LS1? PM sent. If I don't buy it from you, I'm probably gonna get an 85mm polished finish.

Pro Products has the 85 MM version for the LS1. 96 MM for the LS2.

I have the 96 MM intake on mine. Gained 23 HP over my Stock LS2 intake

Had a gain of 9 HP when I ported my Stocker. Then installed the 96MM and gained 14 HP over the ported LS2. TOTAL of 23 HP over the stock unit.

If you put the 96 on your car, you will need a bigger TB,

They also make the 96MM that will fit an LS1. You just have use thicker injector o-rings where they go into the intake. That's what I had on my car for a short time.

Much better for Nitrous. Here is what happens to a composite intake after a Nitrous fart

A friend of mine installed the 85 MM Typhoon on his LS1 GTO. If I remember correctly he gained 13 HP & 18 RWTQ over the LS1 unit

Wait...that's a swap with a ls6 intake right? That's pure awesome. This is definitely something I'm gonna do in the fall.

This doesn't have EGR provisions. Your best bet is to either remove the EGR system completely, which is a favorite among tech residents, and buy block off plates for your headers. Or you could just plug the tube that goes into the intake.
