    I'd stick with a brand that has been used alot. Injen, K&N, Weapon-R, etc. Don't buy the cheap Chinese crap from eBay.

    Looks all there. It's your preference though. Don't let us dictate which parts to buy for YOUR car.

    was not asking for a dictation...just wanted to get feed back if anybody has bought the product or heard feedback from it. I want an Injen but right now money is tight and this is more then half the price but im all about the power not the looks.

    It is in fact MMW. It stands for Monster Motorworks. Same thing as Weapon-R products.

    K&N is a good intake company that has been around for a LONG time and earned a good reputation, that being said i have never heard of any complaints with the typhoon system.

    I understand you want good flow of gases in and out of your engine and i see that some people put in an 's-pipe' to help with this, where in the line of things is the s pipe? after the headers before "cat" or what?

    It's right after the primary cat on the headers and right before the secondary cat where it connets to the mid-pipe.

    This should help clear things up a bit. An S-pipe is not added, it is upgraded.
