Intake Suggestions?

not a problem, just to forewarn you it will be considerably louder in the cabin, , It resulted in a vibration in the dash, techs took out the entire dash and applied some sound dampening material to get it to stop. it only vibrated at high rpm. I wouldn't blame an intake for the vibration more so improper dash application.
I just installed the 69 series typhoon into my LE today. Supposedly, it's supposed to increase my fuel economy but according to my dash monitors I'm averaging around 26 mpg and that's driving conservatively. Before installing the intake I was getting approximately 34 mpg. That's quite a drop. Maybe I did something wrong?

It says it doesn't fit but it does I have one in my LE model

update, i recently returned my K&N typhoon intake due to hesitation after a period of driving apprx 25 minutes, essentially i would sit at a light and when applying throttle the veh would actually buck, I had the techs take a look they performed various tests and came to the conclusion that from a dead stop the typhoon intake was/is causing more harm than good. we installed a trd airfilter and called it a day.
Good on you for letting us know. Couple questions though...
1.) After it was initially installed, did you reset the ECU so that the ECU can learn/adapt to the new volume of air being taken in?
2.) How many miles did you drive the car with the intake on? Have you ever cleaned it?
3.) Did you check the MAF to see if any of the oil/debris from the intake gunk it up?

drop in K&n filter is more my taste...it adds considerable acceleration when u smash through the floor, your head actually goes back for the first couple times until you get used to it... because why spend 300 dollars on short ram intake if most cars on the street can smoke ur 138-145 hp lmao...id rather get better acceleration off the line instead of top end where by that time my opponent will be long gone lol...sound aint worth 300 to be honest plus you get engine dust..
PLUS! Mighty Car Mods disproved cold air intakes. They found out that the best option is to keep the stock air box and use a reputable drop in filter brand like K&N. The only time I see the need for a cold air intake is if your car needs MORE air. You do not want too much air if the fuel can't match the air coming in.
