I ordered this intake in red from cardomain a couple of days ago. Apparently k&n discontinued red so they told me to choose blue or polished. I chose polished. Well I guess k&n misinformed them because I recieved an e-mail from cardomain today and they told me they don't have polished. So now I have the choice of stainless or blue. Question is, should I go with blue or stainless? And, is stainless the silver one they have on their site?

silver one
blue one

you can go on the k&n site and see the actual one's. the part number for the silver one is 69-1008TS. i have been running into the same problem. i was looking for the polished one, but it seems no one has them. i found a polished one on e-bay, e-mailed the seller, but have not heard anything in 5 days.

I ended up with silver. I'll try to post pics when I get it and maybe a video clip. Thanks for your replies.

i was going to buy a Typhoon intake but after reading the common forum post about intakes, getting expensive intakes only gains about 1-3 hp and its not worth the money so i just got SRI AEM good brand. i guess some are different becuase of the sounds thats how i see it now but add a exhaust and its music to your ears (non ricey exhaust)

Well man....the typhoon gets exactly a 5.5 hp gain up around 5200 rpm's . K&n is the only company I know of that actually posts the truth on the dyno's! The others all lie and say 15 hp gains and all that bs. I believe the K&n typoon is the best intake for our civics..they dyno tested it on a civic 1.7 liter 5 speed like mine. 5.5 hp and good sound with the typhoon...I just ordered a blue one. many on here have given good reviews to the tyhoon , yea the intake is a small gain, but k&n is probably the best... 5.5 hp as compared with 0 gain for some worthless intakes...try cardomain.com to order one with a good price, and thanks go to gearbox for giving me the site to order from and info.

I noticed a slight gain, but Man does it sound sweet when i first start the motor cold. You can hear the his from under my hood form 100 feet away. not to mention it has a beautiful deep tone to it when you slam on the gas. I wish i could find an exhaust that offered that same super low tone, only when i got on the gas.

its a good intake, just too noisy for me compared to weapon-r. i like to hear the engine

^RSR exhaust is what you want. quiet when foot off the gas, loud when accelerating.
