Default Typhoon Intake..anyone heard of them?

I was asking because this was brought to my attention. I have a picture of a car with one on, but the car has some issues(don't know if its associated with the intake or not) and wondered if anyone has tried them or not.

Here's a link...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ksid=p3907.m29

No, I'm not going to try them, but I found this and was curious because I've never seen one in person before.

Thanks

If you do a search you can find a "**** TON" of information, from what I've read an ls6 is better and you don't have to worry about heat soak

Yeah I've heard of them I believe it's made by k&n but I've never personally used one all thought I've used their products before which arent half bad but they are so damned expensive.
