Just keep you drop-in filter. That's just a noise maker.

So what you are saying those 14.26 horsepower gains are not true? Did you have one of these intakes installed on your 2009 Camry SE ?

I had that intake.
Even if it does state the gains as 14hp. And they do have the dyno to prove it.
You will definitely not feel it.

It sounds great though. I ended up cutting up my K&N piping lol.

Being that you have a I4, no way you will dyno/feel 14.26 hp. I'd rather spend my money on making the car stop (slotted rotor) or handle better (FST and rear sway).

make it handle better. camrys aren't really known for being fast neways.

Magnaflow says 10hp when you add their exhaust..so do that too! and get a chip, ebay sells them for like 10 bucks 100hp gains!

So, it looks like I own a $332 K&N Typhoon Intake that I might need to sell to someone else and buy some better suspension parts, then right? Who wants to buy this Brand New in the Box Typhoon Intake System from me? Make me an offer, as it just came in this past Monday?

These computers in these Computer Control Vehicles of today Do Not have Chips installed into them, they are setup for aftermarket handheld programmers to be used to reprogram them. As for Magnaflow having any horsepower increases for these cars, I have not personally seen any on a Dyno showing any increases of any horsepower increase with these L4 engines locally.

Only problem with that is a minimum of a 10% plus Restocking Fee!

Well, if you already bought it go ahead and install it. How much did you pay for the drop-in? I might take that off your hands.

**PRINCESS PEACH** · 10-08-2008, 02:45 PM

Yes, I did pickup on that, however , I was just letting others know that these vehicles do not have that Chip option is all. but I do know how most manufacturers do strech the truth on their products producing more that they are capable of producing. Hope this helps.
