Hi Guys

Im looking at purchasing an Induction kit for the S. Ive been looking at K&N Typhoon, K&N 57i and the AEM V2.

I read mixed things about them all. Which do i go for hmmmm.

I would recommend the aem v2.

There is plenty of information on intakes and the pros/cons - site search should see you right for the information you seek.

Cheers

I haven't got one but I know people would recommend the AEM V2 as the best intake for the money.

I agree with Kimmy

I've got a BMC CDA intake and I love it
Its not cheap though, but does give gains.

I don't have one either, but when I looked into it, it seemed to boil down to AEM V2 and K&N for readily available intakes (of course there are Mugen, etc.).
These were my conclusions from others' opinions:

+ AEM: true cold air intake, best noise
- AEM: arguably harder to install, risk of hydrolock due to location of filter

+ K&N: easier install, still a nice noise
- K&N: larger possibility of heatsoak due to location of filter

The AEM V2 and the K&N Typhoon (not to be mistaken with the K&N 57i) are basically the same design. So i guess the pros are cons for the that design will be the same.
Are they a direct fit? I read a thread and some guy cut a little of his bumper away?

For the positioning your referring to potentially stucking up a puddle? i guess through the weather would have to be absolutely horrendous before this would happen, near floods, heavy snow etc. I dont really plan of using the car is very bad weather any how. You could always fit some sort of guard underneath to reduce the risk.
