K&N Short Ram Intake DIY Install for Si, with Pics!

[m2steven]

It could be a combination of sprint/summer heat and ethanol. I noticed that most of the dyno results show increases in horsepower in what could be cruising territory for some people. If this is where the horsepower is going up, perhaps you're just gulping more fuel and air at lower rpm. I just took my new 07 SI sedan for a 600 mile outing to Deal's Gap. Regardless of the driving style - I got 28.5 mpg. That's pretty good considering I made my poodle throw up on the Cherahala Skyway...

Installed a Typhoon 69 SRI last Thurs. and getting a lot of heat soak questions, power loss and so on. Just ordered a Cyberdyne Digital Ambient Air Temperature w/sender/mem today so hopefully I'll get some reading as far as traffic idle, dry vs. humid days, highway driving, etc.... Peace in the middle east!

With the K&N, I certainly noticed the drop in gas mileage. Upto 20 miles lost from where the low gas light indicator goes on. (roughly 11 gallon mark).

Here you go! I finaly made it and... the first test drive was awesome!














Read my 2 weeks old post below to see how i got a 69-1013TS for $202 total cost.
Hi Everyone!
I swore to myself that i would buy 69-1013TS at the best price, preferably under $200 (i even call diferent carriers and haggle with them on the phone) and i finaly succeded tonight.
I will share with you the secret! First take a look at my invoice:
SKU Description Quantity Price Shipping Total
2595201 K&N 69 Series Typhoon Intake Systems
(Silver 69 Series Short Ram Air Intake)
Vehicle: 2006 Honda Civic 1.8L 4-cyl. engine
Color: Silver
Part: #69-1013TS
1 $207.95 Ships by 08/16/2007 via UPS Ground $207.95
Subtotal $207.95
Shipping FREE
Discount $20.00
Tax $14.57
Grand Total $202.52
Ok.
So I got it from AutoAnything.
In the serch box type in 69-1013TS and the rest should be easy. If you don't see a discount of $20 after you add to the shopping cart, try to enter 20off and press REDEEM. That should make it work.
Please give me feedback. I can even help you make this purchase. I am so excited!!!
All the best!

UPDATE: My new MPG is 31. It was 33/34 before the short ram install.
QUESTION: Please look again at this picture below. Not the right angle, but i can tell you that the filter itself it touching that black square thing to the right of the smily face and i am concerned especialy because i noticed that thing gets hot. Please advise! Thank you!

Ive heard they dont make it anymore.

But, what happened to the DIY?

[asndragonboii]

That black square box thing is the ECU. The car's computer i think. I'm not sure if its supoosed to get hot. I'll let somebody else answer that.
